ABSTRACT:
An operating system activation key embedding handling method and system is proposed, which is designed for use with a computer platform for providing the computer platform an operating system activation key embedding handling function, which is characterized by the capability of allowing a computer manufacturer to utilize one single type of BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) chip for implementing the embedding of SLP (System Locked Preinstallation) activation key in various different models of computer platforms with different hardware configurations, without requiring the manufacturer to devise different variations of BIOS chips as in the case of the prior art. This feature allows the implementation of SLP for product activation to be more flexible than the prior art, thus allowing the manufacture of computer to be more cost-effective.
