/silent
Turns on silent mode
/restart
Restart the OS after install (used with /silent)
/norestart
Prevents system restart after successful installation
/preactivate
This just helps the loader decide on it's environment
/bios
Force the application to install just the certificate and serial
/loader
Force the application to install the loader
/swap
Install the loader without changing your systems boot code
/k=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
Set the Windows 7/2008/Vista key
/c=
Set the certificate (use the name of a certificate from the certificates folder or from the SLIC list)
/s=
Set the SLIC (Acer, Advent, Alienware, Asus, BenQ, Casper, Dell, Exper, Founder, FSC, Fujitsu, Gigabyte, Haier, Hasee, HCL, HP, Jooyon, Lenovo, LG, Medion, MSI, NEC, Nokia, Quanmax, Samsung, Sony, Tongfang, Toshiba, Trigem, Viliv, Wartmann)
======
* If you don't set the certificate it will default to your BIOS's model
* If you don't set the SLIC it will default to your BIOS's model
* If you don't set the key it will default to your BIOS's model and the correct one for the OS (Ultimate, Professional, Starter or Home Premium)
* You can use these arguments via SetupComplete.cmd to pre-activate Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008

If a certificate or SLIC is released and I have not put out a new version of my application
simply create two folders, one called "Certificates" and another called "SLICs".
In each folder put the files you want to add support for, just be sure you label the files
like this:
*Certificates folder*
Acer.XRM-MS
Advent.XRM-MS
Alienware.XRM-MS
Asus.XRM-MS
*SLICs folder*
Acer.BIN
Advent.BIN
Alienware.BIN
Asus.BIN
When using external files all preset internals will be ignored, this is a cleaner approach
for users who want to build their own list without my presets getting in the way.

Everyone who supports this project, you're all the reason I'm still working on it.
About
This is the loader application thats used by millions of people worldwide, well known for passing Microsoft's WAT (Windows Activation Technologies) and is arguably the safest Windows activation exploit ever created. The application itself injects a SLIC (Software Licensing Description Table) into your system before Windows boots, this is what fools Windows into thinking it's genuine.
Features
* Can be run as a standalone application
* Works well with all system languages
* Argument support for silent installs
* Can be used for pre-activation
* Application integrity checking
* Custom error handling
* Support for hidden partitions and complex setups
* Can work alongside Linux's GRUB or any other boot manager
* Works with TrueCrypt and many other types of hard drive encryption applications
* Add your own certificates and serials externally
* Offers certificate and serial installation only for users with an existing SLIC 2.1
* Automated system profiling (The application matches everything up for you)
The rundown
* This will run on x86 and x64 systems ✔ check
* This can activate all Windows versions at the same time, just install it on each ✔ check
* No core system files get modified ✔ check
* No extra processes are run so you have nothing eating at your RAM ✔ check
* All key parts of the exploit are encrypted with a custom encryption ✔ check
* The exploit runs before Windows so it's harder for Microsoft to prevent ✔ check
* The exploit patches all necessary tables making activation look authentic ✔ check
* The application will select the best profile for your system during installation ✔ check
* Each and every user has a unique version of the exploit installed on his/her system ✔ check
