Need Help I have an ASUS P5S-MX SE Motherboard, i installed the Windows 2008 Standard and put in the OEM key, BIOS mods using AMITools with ASUS Slic downloaded from this site, then ASUS certificate inserted using the slmgr.vbs -ilc command, still getting status not activated and have 60 days grace period, is there anything i missed?
@ttmax Dude if you not sure or do not know what you are talking about, leave the option to reply to someone who actually knows @LaceyBurrows There is no DELL 2.1 Certificate, so yes Server 2008 R2 standard will activate just fine using the command specified. (actually there is no such thing as a 2.1 Certificate, all certificates are 2.0 certificates, the so called 2.1 Certificates are 2.0 certificate which are issues at a later date, for example 2009)
Thanks FreeStyler! You gave both of us really good and useful advice. As someone who took 35 calls a day for Microsoft during the Windows 3.0 days and was one of the minority of tech reps who actually cared, I really get annoyed when someone who doesn't really know just makes up an answer based on assumptions. (Wow! Have 20 years gone by already???) Thanks again.
@FreeStyler, moderator doesn't means god. There was a question to which I gave a logical answer, with some reserve when I said "probably". If you don't like forumer, change your role, and let other more interested people become moderator. And don't be so agressive, you are ignorant of what you affirm regarding my knowledge. @LaceyBurrows, it's the last time I'll try to help you. It was my only goal when doing that answer. Excuse my English which is maybe not the best. I'm not English. ...
@tommy_vercetti Why posting 2 keys which are already known for ages? (take a look on the first page of this topic)
too be honest why do every manuly and cause confusion Daz's win7 Activator will activate server 2008 / 2008R2 and over the course of the next month he plans to release a new version and updating the leaked keys yet again this should help many people who don't have slic 2.1 for 2008 R2 or slic 2.0 for 2008 then want the chance to play around with server
Just to add, in this thread I could expect to see that aliens have landed in NY, but I couldn't expect to see that EE serial for 2008 R2.
