Thanks Serg008.

I had to run it twice but it does work thanks. Will this file work again if there is a BIOS update?

Thanks.
Nice screens

(after the BIOS upgrade run MSI_A5.exe again and SLIC will be enabled)

**Update**

Installed the new 7998v1A BIOS and the MSI_A5.exe patch worked great!


Thanks again Serg008

Hi,

Is this MSI_A5.ext patch specific to Serg008's motherboard/bios? Can I use it with my Z170A SLI PLUS or will it change MAC address and other unique ids ?

Thanks,
Mike

It's a generic tool for MSI x170 series motherboard's bios.
Upgrade to the latest official bios, reboot, then try this tool

Thanks! I will try now.
If it works, which SLIC will be enabled? i.e. what brand certificate should I use with it? Sorry if it is a stupid question. I did not find a FAQ/readme. I found one post that says you guys mostly use Asus SLIC, but not sure if it is applicable here.
