Here you go , i used Sony 2.1 SLIC + Certificate Included:-

1. Copy and paste ******.XRM-MS certificate file into C-Drive.

2. After pasting this file into C-Drive, go to START - ALL PROGRAMS - ACCESSORIES - COMMAND PROMPT. Right click on Command Prompt and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

3. When Command Prompt opens, type at the prompt: slmgr.vbs -ilc c:\********.xrm-ms and hit the Enter Button. Wait for the Script Host to answer you with a message that the license was installed successfully....this could take a few minutes and so be patient.

4. After receiving the message that the license was installed successfully, type at the command prompt:

slmgr.vbs -ipk *****-*****-*****-*****-***** (Replace with any OEM SLP Product Key for your installed version of Windows 7 , they are not hard to find).Be Patient and wait for the message to say that the Product Key was sucessfully installed. After it says successfully installed, reboot the computer.

5. When you are back at your desktop, go to START - COMPUTER - right click on Computer and choose PROPERTIES and see if it is activated with an OEM product ID.

I have tried this but unfortunately it does not work for me. I can import the certificate and product key but flashing does not work. The error message that I get from WinPhlash under Windows 7 Professional is:

Cannot load driver C:\Users\USER\Desktop\New Folder\PHLAHNT.SYS.
Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator privilege, please login again!
This driver has been blocked from loading
Error code: 1275

The account I'm using have admin priviliges and I'm running the WinPhlash.exe in elevated mode.

I tried another version of WinPhlash (1.6.5.6) as well but then it stated that there was another error.

Corrupted interface descriptors in the new BIOS file.

Platform Signature not found in the interface.
Error code: -103

Any ideas?

After a few hours of Googling I managed to flash my BIOS and I can confirm that it WORKS. Thanks a lot! =)
