setting DmiSystemSKU not working

Post by victorDom »

Hi, I need to set the System SKU string to a specific value. It is currently set (apparently by default) to Y63SKU3#ABA
I tried using VBoxManage setextradata "my VM name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/DmiSystemSKU" "the SKU tring I want"
But does not seem to work... the guest OS still gets Y63SKU3#ABA as the SKU...
Help please!
Thank you

Are you doing this while the VM is running or while it is shut down?
