You already have 4 Home keys, that's 3 keys more than you need. Having the keys from each manufacturer is unnesasary and distributing keys is against the forum rules.

What?
Open your eyes and read a bit!

This already is discused in this topic.... you can use ANY royalty SLP key for EVERY Royalty OEM vendor
(HP key on Dell systems, acer key on gateway systems etc etc)

...whats so hard understanding?

Are the Medion oembios files 100% identical? (md5 compare)

[mittern8]

I'll check it later this evening, but from a first look I'm quite shure they're different.

Yup, after expanding the OEMBIOS files all had the same md5 hashes (and thats good news )

@ Bezalel
Where do i add the extra line you posted a while back (to use only first 8 characters of the manufacturer hex string) in your script?

MfgHex=Left(MfgHex,8)

And this could easily be modded to use only the first 6 hex characters?, eg: the first 3 Manufacturer Charachters - like: HEW,DEL,MED,ACE,FUJ,ASU,IBM,SON etc etc.

Sry, I was under the impression that it wasn't legit to use say a HP SLP Key on a Non-HP System... or maybe I'm mistaken.....

Guess, if you asked MS nothing we discuss here is completely legit

[RogueSpear]

Far as I'm concerned, if someone paid for the computer and it legitimately came with a royalty license then they're entitled to have the royalty version of the OS that they paid for on that computer. How it gets on there is irrelevant.

[FreeStyler]

he, don't get me wrong... i agree, that's why i said if you asked Microsoft...

>discountpc: Sry, I was under the impression that it wasn't legit to use say a HP SLP Key on a Non-HP System... or maybe I'm mistaken.....
We can't be certain whether or not it's legit but I'd say not because every Royalty OEM including HP and Compaq is given different key even though it wasn't ever necessary. Mismatch keys as desired for personal experimentation but I wouldn't deploy anything wide scale or Microsoft will catch on and WGA them.

This is exactly why I requested the specific ones. So that they would stay with their respective OEM Versions instead of mismatching them. If anyone is willing to help me on this issue, please PM me.

Hi bezabel

Sorry for my bad english and for my newbie question, but I am confused.
I had Samsung notebook with XP HOME.

Quote

Manufacturer: Samsung Electronics
Model: Aquila Slim Platform
53616D73 756E6720 456C6563 74726F6E 696373

I had copy files created by CollectFiles.rar and the files from activation.rar to the $oem$ folder of the CD.
I deleted OEMBIOS.BI_ OEMBIOS.DA_, OEMBIOS.SI_ from the CD and I removed all lines referencing any of the OEMBIOS files (including OEMBIOS.CAT) from txtsetup.sif and dosnet.inf.

I had rebuild XP HOME CD. After install this to other pc still give me to activate. What is wrong?

The contents of my $OEM$ directory is:

53616D73756E6720456C656374726F6E696373.BIN

@pktman
The PC your installing your rebuild XP Home on has to be from the "samsung" brand to succesfully activate

PS, Can you plz post MD5 hash for your samsung OEMBIOS.BIN?

[pktman]

@FreeStyler

Yes, my rebuild XP Home is the samsung original.

Sorry for my ignorance, but how can I get MD5 hash for samsung OEMBIOS.BIN?

I meant,
The computer u are trying to install XP on needs to be "samsung" hardware as well
MD5 hashes can be found using (freeware) tools like HashTab

Does your other computer also report "Samsung Electronics"?
Where did you get the Key you used to install?
Do the OEMBIOS files exist in your %SYSTEMROOT%\System32 directory?
What message did you get when you tried to activate?
