OEM BIOS Emulation Toolkit For Windows Vista x86 v1.0 | 1.58 MB
What's the purpose of this release?
Bypassing the product activation requirement of Microsoft Windows Vista x86.
How does it work?
Microsoft allows large hardware manufacturers (e.g. ASUS, HP, Dell) to ship their products containing a Windows Vista installation that does NOT require any kind of product activation as this might be considered an unnecessary inconvenience for the end-user. Instead these so-called 'Royalty OEMs' are granted the right to embed certain license information into their hardware products, which can be validated by Windows Vista to make obtaining further activation information (online or by phone) obsolete. This mechanism is commonly referred to as 'SLP 2.0' ('system-locked pre-installation 2.0') and consists of the following three key elements:
1. The OEM's hardware-embedded BIOS ACPI_SLIC information signed by Microsoft.
2. A certificate issued by Microsoft that corresponds to the specific ACPI_SLIC information. The certificate is an XML file found on the OEM's installation/recovery media, ususally called something like 'oemname.xrm-ms'.
3. A special type of product key that corresponds to the installed edition of Windows Vista. This key can usually be obtained from some installation script found on the OEM's installation/recovery media or directly from a pre-installed OEM system.
If all three elements match Windows Vista's licensing mechansim considers the given installation a valid system-locked pre-activated copy (that does not require any additional product activation procedures).
So the basic concept of the tool at hand is to present any given BIOS ACPI_SLIC information to Windows Vista's licensing mechanism by means of a device driver. In combination with a matching product key and OEM certificate this allows for rendering any system practically indistinguishable from a legit pre-activated system shipped by the respective OEM.
I have been watching several methods, some getting mixed results, some actually having you use a hacked BIOS to flash your board with(Not Safe), and finally from the makers of the CS2 keygen comes this, within 1 day I saw 100 People or more say it worked so I downloaded and tested it for myself. Needless to say I thought I could use it having already used timerstop method, No luck. Even after uninstalling timerstop no luck. So this must be done upon clean instalation. I dont really think the board choice matters either, I choose Asus and have a Intel board. Just be sure to copy the Certificate you wish to use to the root of your vista drive, and be sure to change the Command>>
SLMGR.VBS -ilc C:\ASUS.XRM-MS
To match your drive where the cert. is stored. I would still say stay away from KB931573, As that should not be a issue! HAHA And watch your updates in the future and dont download any that sound suspicious. I always wait a week sometimes 2 to see if anyone has a "BAD" Update with any before I download them
