Already did that. in the cmd it says "Success! you have to restart your computer to take effect" or sort of. i restarted my friend's laptop, but nothing happened. do i have to wait until the grace period ends? the serial key changed too MGADiag Log attached
From where you have downloaded the Asus.XRM-MS file? In Windows, how do I compile the BOOTX64.efi file? Thanks Bye
I have downloaded all the certificates. So with Windows, how do I create the BOOTX64.EFI file for each brand so that I can make the manual installation procedure described in the first post? Thanks Bye
I see you have no idea what question was asked! You did NOT recompile source on Linux machine. You just simply installed what is in post 1. Now look at you bcd (with bcdedit at elevated command prompt) You might just learn (or not) something Acer SLIC 2.1 is HARDCODED in the loader sebus
I have downloaded all the <Brand>.XMR-MS certificates files. So with Windows, how do I create the BOOTX64.EFI file for each brand so that I can do the manual installation procedure described in the first post? Thanks Bye
Is there any project similar to WindSLIC that works with Windows Server 2012 ? It would be great for those servers that boot using UEFI (mainly for boot partitions bigger than 2TB) (I know that I can use KMS activation, but sometimes a permanent SLIC solution is better) EDIT: OK, forget what I wrote. I've just noticed that the first post of this thread had been updated with a new version! I'm gonna try the new .EFI executable with SLIC 2.2 on the server. Thanks and sorry for the inconveniences!

balubeto, May I ask why do you want to create brand-specific versions of the BOOTX64.EFI executable? Microsoft does not care which brand you're using. Do you have anything against ACER? Do you dislike them for some reason? Acer is the very first manufacturer if you put them in alphabetical order!
So, the BOOTX64.EFI file is independent of the brand of computer. Right? So, if I wanted that Windows Loader 2.2.1 should identify the correct brand of a computer, I should add the slmgr -ilc <Brand name>.XRM-MS command to the end of the manual installation procedure included in the first post. Right? Thanks Bye
No, the original BOOTX64.EFI executable is hardcoded to the ACER brand. You can only install the ACER.XRM-MS certificate to match it. If you want to load different brands, download the link of the newest BOOTX64.EFI executable (it's a new executable that can dynamically load different SLIC binaries from different brands), posted by Tito in this thread on the 29th of November 2013, and follow his instructions. But Daz has already told you that choosing a brand other than ACER is just a cosmetic thing. You will gain nothing. Microsoft doesn't check which brand are you using. In other words, you're making your life difficult unnecessarily by trying to use another brand!
In other words, the WindSLIC.efi file is independent of the computer brand, and it must be copied into the EFI\WindSLIC directory with the SLIC.BIN name in place of BOOTX64.EFI file. Rigth? Thanks Bye
Balubeto, Yes, the new WindSLIC.efi executable posted by Tito on the 29th of November 2013 is independent of the computer brand. And yes, the new WindSLIC.efi executable and the SLIC.BIN file must reside both in the same directory (if you want to use the example command line typed by Tito). You could theoretically put them in different folders if you remember to type the correct path in the command line.
