If the OEM license is tied to the BIOS, the BIOS can be updated without problems?

I think to update my Vista 64 bit on windows 7 laptop.  I was reading the Ant on the differences between OEM and full, and in a post, it said that the OEM license is tied to the BIOS serial #.  Is it a serial number of the equipment of a firmware #.  What would happen if you fast a new BIOS revision?

Thank you

a preinstalled OEM SLP key should interact with the slic table in bios in order to activate itself. You can update the bios without negative consequences as long as you get the bios that is appropriate for your machine.

An OEM system builder license does not use the slic table.

Computers, which are built by large manufacturers provided with pre-installed Windows are supplied with 2 two product keys:

(A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with the special instructions isn't on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows 7 key leans on the motherboard and he sees special instructions and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)

(B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (or at the bottom, [or in the battery compartment]) of your computer. It is a valid product key, but must be used only in certain situations (for example, if the OEM SLP key stops automatic activation for a reason any). The key must be activated by phone. (Note: all manufacturers that use the SLP OEM system are bound by contract to include a certificate of Authenticity sticker (COA), which has a COA SLP key, on the computer)

  • Is it possible to run DiagOnCAN with the NI-CAN driver only (without car Diag command Set)

    Hello world

    Is it possible to run DiagOnCan without using Diag command set auto - only with the NI-CAN driver (hardware I use is low tolerant speed - USB8472 and NOR-XNET)?

    G. Petko

    no problem to do with your hardware and NI-CAN frame API.

    However, you must implement the Diag and Services Transport layer on your own, which is quite a big job.

    I recommend you spend the money for automotive diagnostic command set that supports

    • NI CAN (PXI, PCI, PCMCIA, USB)

    • NOR-XNET

    • cRIO/985 x target (Pharlap and VxWorks) #.

    which means that if you plan to transfer your application in the future to different hardware target or the real-time target, that you don't need to change your app at all.

  • Why static DNS server address round get the unable to download updates 8024402C problem in WIN7?

    I got a work around for the unable to download problem error 8024402C updated on a new laptop WIN7 Starter running.  I get regarding the size of the update and starts to download, but nothing comes down.  The solution is to change the DNS settings of default for a manually configured DNS server, for example 4.2.2.2.  It works, but I wonder why, and what is he moving?

    The auto setting worked when I was in the United States connecting via a LAN in the hotel but not here at home in AUS, where the settings auto search for an address DNS 192.168.1.1, my router ADSL/2.  All other functions like Skype, Adobe updated, download of MS shop, all work very well using 192.168.1.1.  Also my XP Home PC, all use 192.168.1.1 and they get the updates without any problem.

    -What is someone able to explain why?

    Thank you

    Hi ascidiens,

    The 0x8024402C error codes typically occur because there is an incorrect character in substitution of proxy settings. Basically, it's something to do with the proxy of your connection settings network and which can be overcome by changing the DNS settings in manual.

    Bad adjustment System (DNS) domain name of your network connection may also cause this error. Update Windows servers are accessible through DNS servers configured for Internet access. If a local DNS server has changed for some reason, the Windows Update client isn't able to find and connect to the Windows Update server.

    I would like to know if refer to a Microsoft article to work around this problem by changing the settings default for a manually configured DNS server DNS (Domain Name System).

    I would say to you to follow the steps mentioned in the link below for the complete solution of the problem

  • the files can be copied without overwriting the existing files?

    I want to copy music files from an external hard drive to my laptop without any duplicates. files can be copied without overwriting the existing files?

    I want to copy music files from an external hard drive to my laptop without any duplicates. files can be copied without overwriting the existing files?

    Yes, you can.

    You can either use the simple method of drag - move or the right click move optionfrom context menu.

    Method of drag - move will have a copy of the music even external drive and one copy in your personal folder.
    Move To method will be "moving" the music file from the drive of the post to your personal folder. No duplicate.

    If you do not have CopyTo and Move To options in your right click context menu, use this tutorial:

    Use a method... that's easier.

  • After the OS and IOS updates SMS problems

    I recently updated to IOS 9.3 and OS x 10.11.4. Since these updates, I had difficulties to send SMS.  iMessages forward vigorously. But I often get errors failure-to-send three and four times in a row when trying to send an SMS message longer than one short sentence. NOTE: I'm announcing this issue in section OS X El Capitan, but this applies to generated no SMS messages only on my iMac, but also on my iPhone 6 and iPad Air2, with 9.3 updated IOS updated.

    I have friends with non-Apple devices I have text frequently. Before the latest updates, my SMS messages would pass them quickly. Not now.  I don't know how to make Apple aware of this situation. I sent a direct message to @AppleSupport on Twitter. Not sure how that will be effective.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Note to moderators: don't know where this question from the list. Please go to the Board. Thank you.

    Hello

    Make sure the iPhone is on the same network local (he will exploit Wifi)

    Check the settings of text transfer.

    If everything looks OK, but it does not reset the text Forwarding (turn it off for a few moments and then On Again to generate and new Code on the Mac).

  • Can I update without voiding the warranty?

    Hi all

    2 weeks ago, I bought the hp pavilion notebook PC 17-f001nd 17. I have a stick of RAM left free more than a generation, I did and it is compatible. But do I put without voiding the warranty?

    Kind regards

    Bo Kersten

    Hi, Bo:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04402649.PDF

    The memory of the removal and replacement procedures are provided in Chapter 6.

    It is not a do it yourself task and would in fact void the warranty if you have installed the memory yourself and that the PC had a problem later.

  • Unable to connect to the internet, can't update firmware

    HP Envy 110a (D411a) printer all in one

    Installed and set up, everything has gone well and works. Tested on Win XP, Vista, Win 7 64, Apple laptop, iPhone 4, all prints wireless or USB. Now for the problem: it works on my home network, but it does not connect to the internet. Some applications only will be running, or the update of the firmware. They all say that I must be connected to the internet to continue. However, I was able to install ePrint and go to the website of eprintcenter.com, add my printer and see the status. He said that everything was good. I had to do this by using the internet, but why my apps does not nor will not update the firmware? Is it possible to download the firmware and install it via USB? I have a computer repair company and have had many problems with HP wireless printers. I don't recommend any HP product to my clients. But I was impressed by the look and quality of envy, and HP felt could repent of their sins and finally build a quality product. The property is everything printing wireless with little effort works. The bad is picky about the internet. Anyone have any ideas?

    GOOD NEWS!

    I apologize to HP. Yes, they repented of their past sins! The 110 is a great printer. I love the size, color and weight (heavy) of the printer. It seems very professional. The style looks more professional than any printer I've seen to date. All executives would like this printer. All the features now work as advertising. How do I solve this problem? I went from a Netgear router gigabit to a D-Link gigabit router. And then reconnected the radio wireless to the new network. Then he just started to work. I know that the Netgear is always a good router, but something deep in the default settings must have caused the HP does not to work.

    I don't work for HP, nor do I own their stock. I highly recommend this printer for serious users.

  • Is it possible to run Star Wars: riders of the old Republic (SWKotor 1) without problem?

    Hello

    I use VMPlayer. Among other things, I would like to play the classic RPG Star Wars: Old Republic (SWKotor 1) riders. I've installed and am able to start with the video and sound. But when I run the game for real, there are many graphic errors (texture?), what makes little unplayable. When I do the scan of material which is accompanied by the game, he spends everything except the video test. He says that I do not meet the recommended specifications (warning yellow but not red) and I use VMware SVGA II 256 MB instead of the best suited is ATI Radeon 9200 or higher or NVidia GeForce4 Ti or better.

    The host is the Guest Windows XP Pro SP3 and Win7 64 bit.

    Help would be very appreciated, even without a reward ;-)

    (see the discussion of Fusion pay $ 1000 to anyone who can get working on VMWare Workstation SWTOR - but please do not confuse, they speak a different game)

    Thx a lot

    It is sometimes possible to play games inside a virtual machine. "VMware SVGA II or 3D" is a software based on GPU without any access to the GPU hardware inside your host. I would try to install DirectX 9.0 c and hope for the best.

  • I am able to bind the text fields in Photoshop or InDesign model to a database so that the model can be updated dynamically without having to enter copy each time?

    Morning, all the

    I have a client who I want to design a model for a series of financial reports that go to investors every quarter. Information for reports from a database. There are 50 reports to be created for each investor. Rather than having to copy and paste the information manually from the database directly into text fields in Photoshop or Indesign, it is possible to bind the text boxes to this database?

    I was going to use Photoshop to design the model that I'm not very good at InDesign. But if I have to then I'll use InDesign.

    Would like any suggestions that I can not find an answer > thank you very much

    Both programs were given to merge. InDesign would probably work best for what you want to do, but you might be able to get away with PS:
