Thank you, that should work. However i would prefer a "dism approach" as i can append my custom and activated wim to an AIO with other editions that don't need to be activated that way. Anyone else have tried my approach? How can i test it without formatting my actual notebook? I think virtual machine wouldn't work because the lack of slic...

Ok, now i have my sticker product key and cert.xrm-ms file (extracted from original recovery media). I've copied cert.xrm-ms into C:\Windows\System32\OEM and 'ive run: slmgr.vbs -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx On reboot windows says it's activated. That's good. However with SLIC_ToolKit_V3.2 i still get No OEM Certificate found !(Run as Adminstrator). There is something else i have to do? Edit: i copied the file also in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OEM and now SLIC_ToolKit_V3.2 says it's ok. Thank you!!! To finalize my install.wim do you think this is the correct way to save the activation status (without using setupcomplete.cmd to run slmgr.vbs): dims /Imagex:C:\offline /Set-Productkey:xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx mkdir C:\offline\Windows\System32\OEM xcopy C:\Windows\System32\OEM\cert.xrm-ms C:\offline\Windows\System32\OEM\cert.xrm-ms mkdir C:\offline\Windows\SysWOW64\OEM xcopy C:\Windows\System32\OEM\cert.xrm-ms C:\offline\Windows\SysWOW64\OEM\cert.xrm-ms

Still i can't understand. With OEM:COA + Slic 2.1 should i restore the original OEM.xrm-ms (i will take it from original restore DVD) or backup using Token Restore? I will put the relevant files directly into my custom install.wim file...

Up! Come again into this problem. My bions is 2.1 but shows an error: "NO OEM certificate found!". So how should i backup the license?

You should edit offline NTUSER.DAT, using regedt32 for example...

Problem here, SP1 is not listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. I think because it's listed under "Updates" in control panel... but i can't find the reg key. Do you know where is it?

Thanks, i'm going to try this in a virtual machine. It's a "safe" method? I mean if it's possible to apply future updates even if C:\Windows\Installer items are missing.

I need to remove the ability to uninstall Office 2010 SP1. Is there anyway to install officesuite2010sp1-kb2460049-x86-fullfile-en-us.exe using a switch like "nobackup" , "nouninstall" or something like this? Thanks...

Ok, thanks. Do you know if Microsoft will release an sp1 version with size <= 700Mb?

Is this possible? Because using updates folder the iso file will grow and won't fit a standard CD. Thanks

As title i'd like to disable all the jumplist items and leave just "close program" one. Is this possible, maybe reshacking some files?

As title, where i can find the default config.ini used for capturing images? I'd like to add my custom exclusions.... thanks!

Sorry i don't know what slic is, i've checked with a small program and it says that my key is OEM:COA. Waiting for a solution?

Ok forget the setupcomplete.cmd method, how do i inject those 3 files in my wim? Simply copy over existing files?

I prefer the solution of injectpkeyconfig.xrm-ms and tokens.dat in the wim. However pkeyconfig.xrm-ms in my activated installation is the same (i've checked md5) on that in the wim file. Also both pkeyconfig.xrm-ms are hard links...
