Are you asking how ShowKeyPlus checks the edition or are you looking for an alternative method?
Thank you for the reply!! 👍
I wanted to know both
1)I see that Showkey plus checks the edition by creating a new pidgenx2.dll file ?
how does it do that? reason behind it 2) any alternative way (Powershell, or .vbs) method
Also how to find the windows 7 OEM marker in the OS (as far as i know i have tried to get the PK from REG and WMIC)?
Pidgenx is used to decode the key - the out parameters contain the id's required to parse pkconfig in order to get the edition. I am not aware of an alternate method.
Windows 7 marker is stored in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\ACPI\RSDT That is the name of the SLIC in the firmware and the certificate that needs to be installed. The key is generic and useless without the SLIC and certificate and no use trying to find it in the OS. Goolge Win 7 OEM SLP keys if you want it.
I'm closing this as it's not really an issue, but thanks for your input.
