As I recall, Windows 8 Laptops with SLP 3.0 have the product key embedded in the bios' "MSDM" table. You can extract it with RW-EVERYTHING (google)

Good Luck

Thanks i already did a clean install of windows 7 and wanted to give 8 another shot with teh shell program. I hope its still in the BIOS.

One of my 2 rebates seems to have some issue with it. I get the following now when checking status:

Your submission has been received. Unfortunately, there was an issue that prevented processing of your rebate. Your will receive more information in the mail with further details and instructions.

I hope this is something easy to fix and get validated right away. Anyone get this before with HP rebates especially since this was an ER from Staples. I no longer have the laptop, but did write down the serial# just in case there was an issue with the rebate.

Edit: I checked the status on web-rebates.com to see more details of the error and it shows the following:

Our records indicate that one or more of the serial numbers provided is a duplicate serial number from a previous submission,
The Easy Rebates ID submitted was missing required information for the product purchased

I wonder if they do this on purpose to a certain percentage so you don't claim the rebate and they keep the money. I'm gonna call them and try to get this validated because this is BS. I inputted the correct serial# for each of my submissions and 1 went OK , while this one is showing up as error. They better not try to deny me of this rebate.

Well I called HP to inquire about this duplicate serial # error that I got on one of my rebates and it looks like the serial is valid, but for some reason is coming up as a duplicate. So now they want me to send a pic of the serial# on the box or actual laptop to verify I own it. However, that is gonna be difficult to do since I sold it and no longer have it.

I guess I learned a lesson this time in time for laptop rebates always take a pic of the serial# before selling it just in case something like this comes up. I thought just writing it down would be enough in case something happens, but no I need an image which is not something I can get. I don't know if the new buyer is willing to send me an image or not and I might just move on and think of it as a lesson learned.

I have a brand new in box laptop in case anyone is interested. I will sell it at cost + shipping charges.. PM me.,.
