    btw. I was happy to see that with slic2.1 on my HP Proliant the latest Daz loader activated my copy of Windows Server 2012 Essentials. No problem updating, everything else works 100%
    cheers

    @redroad

    On NT 6.2 operating systems, Daz's loader emulates Dell 2.2 SLIC.

    Either bios mod or emulated by Daz's loader.

    Yap, Daz's loader supports Windows Server 2012 Essentials.

    The loader supports an OS if corresponding SLIC, cert & at least one oem:slp key is available. Different editions of NT 6.2 servers are supported because of the leaked Dell 2.2 SLIC (the loader emulates this), corresponding cert & leaked oem:slp keys.

    What do you mean by 'when SLICs and OEM:SLP keys are available'?? If you mean new SLICs and keys, then is possible to instruct Daz's loader to use them externally (see the loader readme). You an also opt for a bios mod.

    Hope its clear.

    I have Slic 2.1 bios mods on both of my servers now Running SBS 2011 standard and WSS 2008 essentials to back it up on another server.. Now that it is clear that DAZ loader will activate 2012 essentials I will give it a try on another machine and bios mod when I'm satisfied with it ..

    2012 server was never a problem I have legit keys for that .. 2012 essentials was the lagger

    Yep true that .. If there's any problems with the loader I'll just move on to the bios mod :biggrin3:

    Hi guys, so does Daz Loader work with Server 2012 Essentials? If so, is there a link to it somewhere? I'd quite like to keep all the essentials features so don't want to upgrade to standard.


    Cheers

    Hey guy, just installed Server 2012 Essentials. Thanks to some posts here in the forum I manages to prepare the iso with the delta file and successfully activated with daz loader. :D
    But for some reasons I can't install any windows updates. They are displayed but when I select them and try to start the installation it's stuck at 0% for hours, no progress at all. Any ideas?

    Please help me! - what am I doing wrong?

    I'm trying to activate Essentials on my Dell Poweredge 1950. I downloaded it from Microsoft and installed with the 180 days key. That works well... for 180 days. When I try to apply the Daz Loader I'm not getting activated. When I run the loader again I get "Notification" in the "status"?

    Any help would be appreciated. I've tryed every setting in the advanced tab som I'm running out of ideas.

    Mod the BIOS for Slic 2.2 & you are done. Daz loader does NOT always work for Server 2012

    you can also try running the loader as admin to install it. I always do, so I don't know if its helpful or not, or needed
