    To avoid any issues DON'T replace the OEMBIOS.CAT!!!

    Almost everywhere it is stated to replace it!

    I have to thank xfilz for that info. :)

    BTW: Second link seems to be dead!

    About the PID: Just replace the last 3 characters of your Retail or VLK Version you want to convert to OEM_SLP with OEM. Done. No need to confuse about the languages.

    GRTMPFPP_EN into GRTMPOEM_EN
    or
    GRTMPVOL_XX into GRTMPOEM_XX?

    maybe I've lost my keys... ?!?

    You will find the SP2 versions at service pack2:

    Rename IPSELPID.DLL to PIDGEN.DLL and IPSELDPC.DL_ to DPCDLL.DL_
    I'm assuming when you extract the SP3 you will find the SP3 versions as well.

    For what i see in Yen's post you were the one that sugested making the OEM cd this way xfilz .

    (" LEAVE THE OEMBIOS.CA_ UNTOUCHED!! I have to thank xfilz for that info.")

    So i guess you already tried it. :confused:

    As for me ,I'm going to make a cd and try an installation . but at this moment have no time , will report results in a few days.

    Ok.

    Hehe, best is always to test by myself.

    I did a byte to byte comparisson of a working PIDGEN.DLL and service pack3.
    Also of a working DPCDLL.DL_ and the files of SP3.

    Guess what?

    The right files for a OEM activation are found at expanded SP3 at \sp3\i386\ip folder.

    The VOL license versions of both files are probably found at \sp3\i386\iC folder.

    The info of genetix is wrong. Both files to be renamed are different, also I asummed it wrong of course!

    The needed files can be obtained from \sp3\i386\ip folder, definitely!
