DELL server installation Windows 2008 r2 crack SLIC method

Recently unit a batch of DELL server, intends to Windows2008r2, but found that some machines can not be activated, after investigation found that the BIOS SLIC is locked, into the online hard search, finally find a way First, share the method and let everyone communicate.

Principle: In fact, the official BIOS of the DELL server already contains the SLIC information, but DEll handles the SLIC according to the configuration when you purchased the machine. If you did not purchase Windows 2008 or Windows 2008 r2 when you purchased the machine, this part of the information is locked. All we have to do is unlock the SLIC part.

Steps: (take DEll PowerEdge r900 as an example)
1, go to the official website to download the latest BIOS of the corresponding server, but the BIOS provided on the official website can not be updated under Windows, in order to be under Windows Friends who update the BIOS can go to the official FTP to download. The address is: ftp.us.dell.com/BIOS/, find the corresponding BIOS in it, pay attention to the BIOS name, such as the BIOS update program named PER900_BIOS_WIN_1.1.13_1.EXE is the BIOS program that can be directly updated under Windows. . The keyword is the word WIN in the executable file. If you want the latest version, you can arrange it according to the time. After downloading, run the program to update the BIOS. Follow the prompts.

2. After updating the BIOS, you can use EVEREST to check whether the SLIC is 374 bytes. If the version is 2.1, it means that the SLIC is locked. The SLIC will be unlocked below. First prepare a bootable disk that can boot the system to DOS. It is recommended to use a USB flash drive. Download the following SVCTAG.rar, unzip the files inside to the boot disk, then restart the machine to boot the machine to the DOS environment, then enter the following command:
Enter as follows (black for the system prompt, red for the input)
X:\\>C: (This is the drive letter of the ASSET program can be omitted if it is already activated)
C:\\>ASSET PASS:1234
ASSET – Version 2.09 ( C) Copyright 1993-2004 DELL Inc.
About to chang the Asset Tag. Are you sure [y,n]y
Service Tag =>4YH8 12X
Asset Tag => PASS:1234< BR>D:\\Ctrl+Alt+Del(restart)

3. After the reboot is complete, enter the system and use EVEREST to view the SLIC. If it is displayed as 374 bytes, the version is 2.1, indicating success. Then install the operating system. How to install and activate please search for posts in the jar.

I have activated two DEll PowerEdge 2950s, two DEll PowerEdge r710s, and one DEll PowerEdge r900 in the same way. Others have not tried. If you have a friend of the above models, you can try it
