Some Notes on the Machines

If you see the above while trying to flash a replacement BIOS on a Dell, try:

1. Backup your registry.
2. Browse in REGEDIT to: HKLM\System\ControlSet001\Services
3. Delete the DellBIOS key
4. Reboot.

Here’s a command line which works on Microsoft Office 2013 32-bit, on a 64-bit system, to get the key identifier (last set of characters):

cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS" /dstatus

cscript "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\OSPP.VBS"
