My grandparents died recently and I decided to ressurrect it and restore it to it's original state, however the OS it came with (Vista Home Premium) must be reinstalled. Then I switched to desktop and the laptop hasn't been used for a year or two, but I refused to get rid of it since it was a gift and a memento. During my usage in my ignorance I supposedly upgraded the OS to 7, then 8, then 8.1, then 10 and, in the meantime, the original drive has been wiped clean couple times and swapped for an SSD (multiple times because of reasons). Else, itвЂ™s possible to modify the BIOS (hardmod or biosmod) to include the SLIC 2.1 (assistance available at Windows 7 forum), or uses a OEM-BIOS emulator which commonly known as Windows 7 Loader, which in turn made use by various activators and toolkit to emulate a SLIC 2.1 on boot up.So here's a quick story - my grandparents got me a really nice HP Pavilion dv5-1060ew, which I had been using during my highschool and college years and it never failed me (except for a cooling fan that has been replaced).

If youвЂ™re having SLIC 2.0 in BIOS, try to wait for computer manufacturer if it will release new BIOS update that includes SLIC 2.1 table. If the 4 bytes in highlighted area are 01 00 02 00, the SLIC is version 2.1. If the 4 bytes in highlighted area are 00 00 00 00, the SLIC is version 2.0 The display will look something like the illustration below, or see SLIC 2.0 and 2.1 example here. In the opened ACPI Table window, click on SLIC tab. Run RW-Everything, then click on Access pull down menu, follow by ACPI Tables.

Thus, aside from new OEM-SLP product key ( leaked Windows 7 Ultimate OEM-SLP product key) which is required for each edition of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 in order to complete the OEM activation process, whether or not the SLIC 2.1 exists in the BIOS will determine whether the installed Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 can achieve instant offline activation on system boot up. Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 accept both Windows Marker formats (OA version 2.0 and OA version 2.1), but not vice versa. OATools released by Microsoft will now write a new version 2.1 of OEMTables, hence a new Windows Market in different binary format for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 OEM activation. The second part of SLIC table, Windows Marker (0xB6 bytes) is created and signed by OEM with OEMTableID and OEMID together with OEM private key that matches OEMвЂ™s SLIC public key. xrm-ms, signed by Microsoft with OEMвЂ™s SLIC public key (0x9C bytes) with MicrosoftвЂ™s private key together with OEMID of SLIC table, is unchanged. Even the digital certificate, which has file extension of. The only changes is Windows Marker version is now version 2.1 instead of 2.0. SLP OEM Activation 2.1 works in very much the similar way of OEM Activation (OA) 2.0, with no change to activation technology, and OEM does not require to change factory process to accommodate new SLP 2.1 OEM activation.

OEM certificate (xrm-ms) which corresponds with OEMID and OEMTableID (Windows Marker) in SLIC table.

There are now three different version of SLP, namely SLP 1.0 for Windows XP and Windows Server 2008, SLP 2.0 for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, and SLP 2.1, which supports Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and has backward-compatibility support for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 too.ДЇor OEM activation to work and able to authenticate OEM licensing for Windows, three (3) components or criteria must exist and fulfill:

The offline OEM-style pre-activation that bypass Windows Product Activatin (WPA) is implemented to reduce the chance of annoying mass PC buyers from having to deal with activation after buying the computer.

System-Locked Pre-installation (SLP) is the mechanism used by big royalty OEM computer manufacturers to factory activate pre-installed Windows operating system on branded desktop PC, laptop, notebook, netbook and nettop computer so that activation process of Windows is done transparently and automatically once end-user first starts the computer.
