Yeah, I extracted the key from the Sentinel's factory image. Unfortunately I don't have the actual hardware, so I can't get a SLIC. I could extract the certificate from tokens.dat if anyone wants it, but without the SLIC it's not really of any use.
Please do, it seems that slic is always easier to get then certificate! Factory image (hence I assume not iso, so impossible to make delta to): en_server_install_disc_windows_storage_server_essentials_2008_r2_embedded_x64_dvd_658486.iso SHA1: 8225F23C29B3BD7C07F0E046B3E6E3AEBBE17DE1 sebus
Yes, they are conveniently offering a download for that The machine seems to be EFI-based, and the factory restore contains a disk image for the EFI system partition, and the preinstalled OS image. I'll try and extract the cert then; Wasn't there a thread somewhere for collecting SLICs/certs? Or should I just post it in here?

Still it's amusing to read begs for a key from avid unleaker, lol! BTW retail key can be activated on-line up to 10 times on different hardware and nobody knows how many times by phone. so one must try really hard to waste it. BTW#2 Nobody really needs WHS2011 as it is just slightly reduced version of Storage Server Essentials (they are even both internally called "ServerHomeStandard")...
I guess it's WHS2011 Premium. i just looked in Win7RTM pkeyconfig for SLP keyranges: ActConfigId {3b18e76c-2384-4029-a596-c939c91cb7be} RefGroupId 140 EditionId ServerHomeStandard ProductDescription Win 7 Home Server Standard - OEM SLP ActConfigId {e40d338b-76d2-4755-a8a0-b530d9d970bc} RefGroupId 140 EditionId ServerHomePremium ProductDescription Win 7 Home Server Premium - OEM SLP and no mention of Storage Server at that time. In win7sp1 / SSE2008R2 pkeyconfig those two vanished, and appeared another ones: ActConfigId {07acd797-a4c1-49d2-84a8-c08a14fb83b2}RefGroupId 150 EditionId ServerHomeStandard ProductDescription Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials ServerHomeStandard OEM:SLP ActConfigId {3ff36ff8-6220-484c-9fb0-165ac44e0a91} RefGroupId 164 EditionId ServerHomePremium ProductDescription Windows Home Server 2011 SERVERHOMEPREMIUM OEM:SLP
At Win7 RTM there was no RTM'ed version of WHS 2011, so like you already noticed you need Win7 SP1 RTM pkeyconfig for valid keyranges for WHS 2011 RTM
Hi, excuse me for me ignorance but, i thought keys aren't brand specific doesnt theis mean that i can activate with any 2.1 slic modded bios? i have an an acer slic 2.1 bios cant i activate with this sentinel's key ?
That's right, keys aren't brand specific. It would be nice to also have a SLIC from the device, but the key will work with any other 2.1 SLIC as well.
Has anyone ever found an OEM serial for Windows Storage Server 2008 Basic x86? Could not find one in this thread.
