Title: WPA already defeated?
Post by: Josetann on August 30, 2001, 12:59:32 AM

Looks like Windows XP\'s Product Activation is already defeated (sort of).  There\'s a zip file going around that has files you need to replace in the i386 directory of your WinXP cd.  This basically makes it think it\'s a dell oem cd that doesn\'t need activation, yet it\'s not locked to a dell bios.

Unfortunately we cannot post the location of this zip file, since it is considered a crack and has winxp code in it.  If there is ever a way around by just editing simple text files (like the win2k no-serial trick) you can be sure a full how-to would be here.  For now, you\'ll have to search on IRC.
