########################################################################## # 5 - Extra ########################################################################## If a certificate or SLIC is released and I have not put out a new version of my application simply create two folders, one called "Certificates" and another called "SLICs". In each folder put the files you want to add support for, just be sure you lable the files like this: *Certificates folder*

Acer.XRM-MS Advent.XRM-MS Alienware.XRM-MS Asus.XRM-MS *SLICs folder* Acer.BIN Advent.BIN Alienware.BIN Asus.BIN When using external files all preset internals will be ignored, this is a cleane r approach for users who want to build their own list without my presets getting in the way .
