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?
