Description

Simple shell script to modify a VirtualBox VM to use a ACPI SLIC table, and set custom BIOS/System values. The intention is to enable VirtualBox to run Windows using the builtin ACPI SLIC and MSDN table - to supply activation information. Use at your own risk, might not work universally across all vendors. (Tested with Lenovo and newer Dell machines)

Manage License in Windows

  • During install, select: I do not have a product key"
  • Install Windows and Guest Additions
  • Get an administrative CMD
    • slmgr /ipk
    • slmgr /ato
    • Windows should activate telling you it has used a digital License
  • To revoke the key from a VM if you want to use it as a template:
    • slmgr /upk
    • slmgr /cpky
    • slmgr /rearm
