Question bobsheep, how new are your machines? because the slic tables in your bios go all the way back to Windows XP. BTW slic stands for SLIC = System License Internal Code which is in your bios by the manufacturer of your machine and only special software like the Daz loader can pear into and see it. That would be probably why you can`t see it and don`t get me wrong bobsheep because i`m in no shape or form saying your wrong.
No, but at the moment I'd say that you don't know what you're talking about, that you're someone who's spreading FUD and you're not far away from being silenced. You're saying a bunch of nonsense and trying to argue with the people who actually made the loader. We're right and you're wrong and that's all there is to it. 1. Windows XP uses SLP strings to activate OEM PC's 2. Windows Vista to Windows 7 uses SLIC's to activate OEM PC's Windows Vista uses SLIC v2.0 and Windows 7 uses SLIC v2.1. The loaders job is to either inject a SLIC onto systems that don't have one at all or to upgrade the current SLIC version so that activation can be successful.
The person you are conversing with, actually Coded DAZ loader, the developer of Windows Loader. But yes, the internet is always right lol -ed- DAMN spoke to a ghost!! haha
Just wondering, if upgraded via DAZ/Win 7, are we stuck on only the Win 10 version we installed, ie, Pro, Enterprise, etc. Meaning cant change versions in future installs due to the hardware ID?
Not sure what my SLIC version is (never bother to check!) but I made two attempts to upgrade from win7 ultimate sp1 to win10 pro and still can't get it activated. Error code is 0xC004C003 saying key 3V66T has been blocked. (see post#278)
When on Windows 7 are you running an online genuine test to make sure that you pass? There's only 3 other things that I can think of. You're using Windows 10 Pro N instead of the regular edition, your PC come with Windows 8 Core or you're booting from a DVD/USB instead of running setup.exe from within Windows. An internet connection is mandatory.
1) Never run an online genuine test. 2) ISO is from MediaCreationToolx64 installed on another pc running win8.1pro wmc. 3) Upgrade is done by running setup.exe on dvd from within Windows. 4) internet is always on.
What if I do not turn off automatic updates? And if I turn off automatic updates, how do I keep my system updated and protected against future vulnerabilities?
You'll want to roll back to Windows 7 and perform an online check after reinstalling the loader. I can only guess that maybe there's a modified file or that a setting isn't correct. An MGADiag report would expose that.
IMHO it is safest to reinstall Windows 7 from an ISO downloaded from Microsoft, activate using DAZ loader, then upgrade to Windows 10 using an ISO downloaded from Microsoft. Haven't had any trouble yet. Btw. Is there a tutorial for the loader? Something that explains the use of the options in the advanced tab and other tabs. I want to know whether I should inject the key into the BIOS or not. Or does that happen automatically? Specifically, does the DAZ loader have BIOS flashing capabilities that it is able to insert the key and certificate into a BIOS that doesnt have the key and certificate - SLIC table blank?
I was going to try the above method, but since its not working, I read somewhere else (I have the link elsewhere at the moment), that if you extract the iso into the "$Windows.~WS" folder inside your Windows 7 install, and then execute the start it will complete to success.
By the way, ran the upgrade on a system with SLIC 2.0, freshly installed with W7, Daz, and the whole thing. Upgraded fine, activated fine, did a clean install and it took a little while but now is activated again.
