Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 OEM: SLP KEY

OEM activation, or System Licensed with Preloaded (SLP) activation, is a type of Windows activation available for both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. OEM activation is typically pre-installed on new computers, often shipped with the computer manufacturer’s own unique activation key. This activation method is often simpler and more convenient than other activation methods, such as MAK or KMS activation.

To activate your Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 system using OEM activation, you will need to have an OEM-specific product key. These keys are typically printed on a sticker on the computer’s case or provided by the computer manufacturer. If you have an OEM key, you can follow these steps to activate your system:

1. Open the Control Panel and select “System and Security.”
2. Click on “System” and then select “About” to view your current Windows activation status.
3. If your system is not activated, click on the “Activation” link. This will open the Activation window.
4. Click on the “Change Product Key” button and enter your OEM product key.
5. Click on the “OK” button to start the activation process.
6. Once the activation process is complete, your system will be activated using the OEM SLP method.

If you do not have an OEM product key or cannot find it, you can try to use an OEM7 or Oem7v7.2 tool to activate your Windows Server 2008 system. This tool can be downloaded from various sources online, but make sure to download it from a trusted source to avoid potential security risks. Here are the steps to use the OEM7 tool to activate Windows Server 2008:

1. Download and install the OEM7 tool from a trusted source.
2. Open the OEM7 tool and click on the “Activate” button.
3. Select the appropriate edition of Windows Server 2008 (Standard or Enterprise) and click on the “Next” button.
4. The tool will automatically detect any available OEM keys on your system and display them in the list.
5. Select the appropriate OEM key and click on the “Activate” button.
6. Wait for the activation process to complete. Once it is done, your system will be activated using the OEM SLP method.

It’s important to note that using OEM activation may limit some of your system’s features, such as accessing some Microsoft Update content or being able to upgrade to a newer version of Windows in the future. Therefore, if you plan on using your system for a longer period of time or need access to all of Windows’ features, it’s recommended to use a different activation method, such as a retail activation key or a volume license activation key.

Remember that activating Windows is essential for full functionality and security updates. Always purchase a legitimate copy of Windows and activate it as soon as possible to ensure your system remains secure and up-to-date.
