I guess what I\'m talking about is activation, whatever it is that requires me to have to contact MS whenever I change HW.
I was thinking that if I made a copy of the CD, replacing the setupp.ini so it thought it was a corporate edition, and then tracked down a corporate key. I might be able to bypass activation.

changing the pid justs changes the look during the setup
PS I have access to a volume licence but it looks like the Retail version during the setup

I thought that activation is a must no matter which license you have.Using CR@CZ might make your genuine WinXP VIRAL.
What about the difference between MSDN Volume licensed and corporate version?
I can tell the difference between OEM, RETAIL, UPGRADE, CORPORATE , but not MSDN one.

Question - Why would an OS be particular to a bit-wise, sector-by-sector copy, derrived soley from the physical disk geometry? Obviously, the OS wouldn\'t even be live, ergo, you\'d be booted from a 98 / ME floppy and running DOS anyway. I\'ve been doing the same thing on EMC and Clarrion Fiber DASD through ESCON and now TCP/IP channels for several years. It works wonderfully, checksums the results for absolute commitals, it\'s lightening fast ( like 10 minutes in PC land for 10 GB exact replica) - It is one or two levels under the OS, under the filesystem.
Please clarify (perhaps you\'re referring to the \"DataMover\" app (when c turns into d, change all references.. I wouldn\'t trust that either - even in a 16 bit and fat simplified environment.)
In regards to \"it only works if the machines are almost identical..\", then how does an Enterprise do a large install with such a boiler plate mechanism in place? I\'ve been at a few large shops, their PC architectures vary widely.

On the first boot after install is complete, boot into SAFE MODE
(thats the F8 key) and open regedit.exe
Locate this following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersion
change the \"RegDone\" key value fron 0 to 1
Then find this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionWinLogon
change \"Activation Required\" key value from 1 to 0
Close regedit and do the following:
Go to StartReboot

8B D1 57 33 C0 .....
with these bytes
C7 06 01 00 00 00 83 EE 04 C3
Save and then replace the original winlogon.exe with the newone.
Must be replaced at
c:windowssystem32 and c:windowssystem32dllcache
In order be able replacing these files you must boot winxp in SAFE mode, or out from XP (real DOS, win98, etc).
Now XP HOME or PRO are activated.

On the subject: once i adjusted my clock to one year ahead to see if this crack works, I ended up in an eternal loop at logon with a message saying this copy had to be registered, It would not allow me to register just kept loging on and off. Is there a way to stop this?

So your winlogon *MUST BE* prepared before !!!!
Expand your \"winlogon.ex_\" from install CD and have it prepared for the first safe login...
Thats all !!!!
My instalation is dated on 01-15-2002. My current computer date (while writing this post) is *11-04-2002* WITHOUT activation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If this crack doesnot work, i couldnt write this post. Undestand now ???
Post by: Fireball on February 04, 2002, 06:19:25 AM
do not delete or owerwrite original winlogon files (dirs sys32 and sys32dllcache), just rename them into \"winlogon_orig.exe\" etc.
wish you luck

Once more (and last time): you MUST have prepared modified wonlogon BEFORE first safe login after install ended (use floppy).
When you login into XP for the FIRST time on normal mode, maybe this recipe wont work... I did NOT test it.
Go this way :
1) prepare modified winlogon (works with ver 2600)
2) install clear XP (Pro or Home)
3) the *FIRST* login into installed XP *MUST BE SAFE*, login as admin
4) locate windirsystem32dllcachewinlogon.exe and rename it into \"winlogon_orig.exe\"
5) copy modified winlogon into dllcache dir
6) locate windirsystem32winlogon.exe and rename it the same way
7) copy modified winlogon into system32 dir
8) reboot, all done

To get \"Corpfiles\", if you are using Xp Pro. Just get on bearshare or your favorite p2p file sharing program and search for it. It should be about 13mb in size zipped.
Copy the XP cd to a temp dir, and then apply the i386 folder (and everything in it) fom the Corpfiles package, to the i386 folder in the XP cd temp dir. Then install from the hdd or burn the Windows files to a cd and boot from a set of XP setup disks (of course with more work, you can make it bootable).
As you probably guessed, Corpfiles turns the retail version into corporate edition, which does not require activation.
**You will need to use the key that is included with Corpfiles**

³ The new Microsoft XP program suite - everyone knows them, no one likes ³
³ their product activation because it restricts the use of a cd-key to a ³
³ single installation. ³
³ This keygen computes random and virtually unique cd-keys for either Office ³
³ XP Pro or Windows XP Pro, which can be used to install and *activate* ³
³ these products on a unlimited number of systems - without risking to ³
³ invalidate a patched version by a product update ! ³
³ It says compute and not generate because it takes some time to verify, if ³
³ a random cd-key can be made valid (use the benchmark mode to check how ³
³ long that should take on your system). Unfortunately can not every random ³
³ cd-key be made valid, so it usually needs more than one try to compute a ³
³ valid cd-key (chances are aboout 1 to 40). In general it takes about five ³
³ to ten minutes to come up with a usuable cd-key.

8B D1 57 33 C0 .....

C7 06 01 00 00 00 83 EE 04 C3
Save and then replace the original winlogon.exe with the newone.
Must be replaced at
c:windowssystem32 and c:windowssystem32dllcache
Boot from a 98 startup disk to change files.
I used a hex editor free from http://www.durward.com/hextool/index.html (http://\"http://www.durward.com/hextool/index.html\")
Tried move clock forward 1 year, also added 2 hdds, moved CDrom, no probs. Good luck.

You are\'nt buying a copy of windows itself as in the program you\'re actually paying for a LICENSE to use the software on X number of machines depending on the amount of LICENSES you buy.
I think it said u can run xp on 1 home computer and 1 laptop but I could be wrong.

This second pc was completly different specs to the first one. Different board, cpu, hard disk, video, sound, nic.
So, I took the hard disk from the second pc and installed it as a slave on the first pc.
I copied everything from the first hard disk to the second. I removed the second hard disk and put it back in the second pc.
After booting up I got a BSOD, which considering I was using different hardware was pretty obvious.
So, I booted using the xp cd, chose the recover option from the boot up menu. XP repaired itself and started fine.
But it didn\'t prompt to be re-activated.
I have no idea if this will work for anyone else, but could be worth a try.

If you are installing xp to a another computer and need another
key code call up microsoft and say that you installed a new hard drive and i activated xp on the other disk. Act very stupid and
they should buy it.

I replaced both winlogon files as told then rebooted. I assumed that at worst I was going to set my clock forward to test it and end up with never ending logon screen, which I got once before with a totally different crack. Anyway it was worse. When it made it to logon screen it just rebooted my sytem violently. I talking violently. It made my hard drive even stop spinning for at leat 5 seconds. I tried rebooting 2 more times and it kept doing it until I replaced the winlogons back to the originals. I did not screw up on the editing either. I triple checked it. However my Windows XP is Windows XP Pro Ver. 2002 . It says 2002 on the box. Could that possibly be newer than the ones you guys are using and maybe microsoft caught on and made it harder for Ver. 2002.

Now, were you selling bootleg copies, I\'d worry..but come on, just how many people do you think are doing this, and just how much time and effort do you *really* think MS is going to put into bothering one little \"no one\" ?
When was the last time you saw the headline on CNN \"Joe Sixpack jailed for illegally installing Windows 98! Film at 11:00\"
Face it, if they went after every one that had a illegal copy of a Mircosoft operating system, there\'d be no room in jail anymore for anyone!!!!

Here is how to crack your own version of XP, this is known as the \"Hunter\" method, named after the person who found
this important section inside the winlogon.exe file.
I have personally tried this on several versions of Pro and Home and have verified that it does indeed work.
Here is how it\'s done, you need a good Hex editor.
Take a copy of your winlogon.exe file and open it up with a good hex editor like ultra edit.
Go to this address: 00039660h
Look for this string:
8B D1 57 33 C0 89 02 89 42 08
And change it to this:
C7 06 01 00 00 00 83 EE 04 C3
Reboot into safe mode and change your view settings to show all files, also uncheck the option
\"hide protected system files\".
Go to these two places and rename the existing winlogon.exe to winlogon.old, and put a copy of your
modified file in it\'s place.
C:WindowsSystem32Dllcache
C:windowsSystem32
(Replace \"C\" with your correct drive if necessary).
Boot back into normal Windows and bang, your system is activated
Post by: Anonymous on April 07, 2002, 06:19:50 PM
I tried 3 different methods.
Needless to say, I\'m still looking for a working way to get around the activation.

Post by: per_44 on April 10, 2002, 07:30:41 PM
From there I am in a panic my whole office 5 computers are saying must activate 28 days comes up all the time when you want to do something.
A couple of points coming from an armature make it clear on your Hex editor ultra you can get it free 30 day trial on there site.
Next when you do the winlogon.exe and look for 00039660h your few digests in
8B D1 57 33 C0 89 02 89 42 08 before you see that number.
And explain there are 2 files C:WindowsSystem32Dllcache (1) C:windowsSystem32 (2) two type in Old in on winlogon and put you new winlogon in it’s own folder to copy in place of both files C:WindowsSystem32Dllcache (1) C:windowsSystem32 (2)
When you restart in safe mode (f8) keep taping change you view folders unclick (1) hide extensions for know file type (2) hide protected operating system files. And paste and copy your new winlogon in system 32 C:WindowsSystem32Dllcache (1) C:windowsSystem32 (2) folders. Then restart……….
Thanks, again for saving me.

build 2600, and finding the reg done is easy, but what about
the \"activation required\"? It dosn´t exist in my version. Would
be happy to hear any suggestions, You might have.

I just bought a brand new copy of Windows XP Pro (2600) and did your winlogon change and it WORKS!!!!
I currently have it set for 2005 and there are no problems. For all those people who say it doesn\'t work you must take him seriously when he says that the computer CANNOT every boot in normal mode before the new winlogon is put in in safemode. I tested it, it won\'t work. You must boot in safemode, after installation but before first reboot, get a command prompt, replace the two files with your new ones and reboot. It will work, and not just betas. I bought my copy a month ago retail. It will work.
Thanks fireball
you saved me alot of money,

Do not apply the Q306676 update as it replaces WINLOGON.EXE
I know a lot of people cracked XP activation with this file, so this update will foul things up...
Post by: Funkster on May 13, 2002, 02:24:55 AM
I don\'t know how to edit the file winlogon.exe before you install, but your supposed to edit after installing and before the first boot up (right after the finalizing installation). Just hit F8 after your bios boot up and you\'ll get 3 safemode options. Select the top option and wait for start up, after choose administator as your user, now you shouldn\'t have any problem editing the file.

Yes, I had this problem too... I was trying a number of things, and one of the things I tried was just changing the RegDone to 1.
Then a few days later when I rebooted, I went to \"Activate Windows\" and it said \"WINDOWS ACTIVATED\"

All it does it resets the counter for the grace period back to 0 (zero) so therefore you do not need to ever activate the copy. It also gets rid of the reminder telling you to activate. Whilst this does not get rid of or activates WinXP, at least it works without having to modify any strings and can be applied to any version of XP including the pre release versions.
This has not been tested (as far as I know) on any BETA\'s of SP1, and prolly won\'t work. I know it doesn\'t work in Windows .NET Enterprise Server

it didn\'t work, I was able to find the regdone key
but the \'Activation Required\' Key was no where to be found.
I didn\'t think that MS would make bypassing the activation step so simple.
Any other suggestions ??
Post by: Anonymous on June 08, 2002, 11:54:11 PM
Write down the registration code XP gives you, then go to your phone and call Microsoft\'s activation line. You will punch in by keypad your registration code. Then Microsoft will give you the activation code in six number groupings. Write down the activation code as Microsoft gives it to you. Hang up the phone. Go to your computer and punch in the activation code.
Fairly painless, it\'s all automated--you speak to no one. Just make sure that when you are on the phone, family members or roommates, etc., do not distract you.
When you are done. You now have both registration and activation keys so if you need to reinstall, you check your written registration key against the one XP is giving you; if it is the same then your activation key will work. If not, go get another from M$.
The only information M$ could possibly get from you in this exchange is your phone number so use a friend\'s phone, payphone, etc. if you are that paranoid.
cheers.

On the first boot after install is complete, boot into SAFE MODE
(thats the F8 key) and open regedit.exe
Locate this following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersion
change the \"RegDone\" key value fron 0 to 1
Then find this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionWinLogon
change \"Activation Required\" key value from 1 to 0
Close regedit and do the following:
Go to StartReboot
But couldn\'t find the second key however it STILL WORKED... I tried to activate and was surprised to see a success.....
However I then installed office 2000 and when I try to run office 2000 but it wants me to resister--if I do it says \'Registration could not be completed due to an unknown error (80040901) please register product through telephone\' and then tells me that it will only run 47 more times until resistraion is complete........Can anyone help me any advice would be much appreciated

Look surely there are enough of XP users out there to figure out a patern in the reg #s .. i mean it is possible to track down some sort of algebreac equation to get the right #s that is how it was mainly done with older ops ..

come up when installing.
half way through the installation it tells me that there is
a file missing do i want to continue.
the file from memory is of the format dgt.dll this may be incorrect
but its near.
just after that it tells me there is another file missing do i want to
continue.
and then it asks me if i want to activate at the end of the installation.
i clicked the remind me later or something like that.
installation went through and no problems up to now.
anybody any idea what these missing files are when installing
could it be something to do with the 180day timer.
i do have to put a product key in when installing(dual boot)
so im not sure if it would ask for it for an xp inst only.

Plus, you can use it any time, no need to catch the first reboot (which I missed of course). I advanced the clock 3 months to test and sure enough, got the \"You need to activate\" nag.
So, copy winlogon.exe to another PC (just easier this way), hex edit the puppy and then copy it back to c:windowssystem32dllcache.
Now, you can\'t replace the c:windowssystem32 copy because it is in use. That is why everyone says you must do this on the first bootup. But, there is a way to get around this.
Reboot using the XP CD and wait for the setup files to load.
Then when prompted, press \"R\" to use the Recovery Console.
Choose your Windows installation (likely 1: C:WINDOWS) by entering \"1\" then \"Enter\".
Type the Administrator password (mine was nothing so I just hit the enter key).
Now using the DOS copy command, simply type:
copy c:windowssystem32dllcachewinlogon.exe c:windowssystem32
Hit \"y\" to say yes to overwrite winlogon.exe.
Type \"exit\" to exit the recovery console and reboot.
That\'s it. Advance your clock a year and check it out. No activation nags.

Ive got several machines and dont think a sinlge user needs several copies of the OS.
Using the call (on the phone) MS method and acting dumb about getting a new Act Code......Will MS be able to deactivate the older code you called in??? Perhaps when the OS does one of those 3 month internal hardware checks. Will it see that something aint right.
The same question does for the Norton Ghosted idea. Will the computer detect the discrepancy between HW and the Code???

Post by: waxz on June 15, 2002, 07:49:04 PM
but i went and still found a way to by pass WPA
this mainly for those who dont know how to edit the winlogon.exe
1. Boot into Safe Mode - F8 at startup
2. Start -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> CPU Management -> Local Users
-Delete Microsoft Account and Help Account
-Change guest password
-Rename Administrator
3. Now U need to edit the Registery which is Really easy to do
-Start -> Run
-regedit
-HKEYSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersion
-Modify \"RegDone\" to 1
-HKEYSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionWinLogon
-Modify \"Activation Required\" to 0
-HKEYSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionWinLogon
-Modify \"SFCDisable\" to 1
-Close Regedit
4. The final step:
-Start -> Run
*Copy and past these commands one at a time in the run box.
- regsvr32.exe -u regwizc.dll
- regsvr32.exe -u licdll.dll
*note i saw that sum of u could not fine \"Activation Required\" in the reg so why not make it?!!? but 1st see if it works with out it
i have not tryed this my self so plz put sum feed back on this post

Create a file structure of \"$$system32\" and \"$$system32dllcache\" and place the modified winlogon.exe file in each location.
During the unattend install the files will be copied.

Just wanted to let the person who posted the \"Hunter\" program, that it works like a charm, did it in like 45 min. To all who need a \"you now what\" for BG\'s new eXPerience, try this, it worked for me!!! And it didnt matter if I did it after the first boot, so read on in the forum and give it a try!!
Post by: Le Bonge on June 30, 2002, 11:54:16 AM
(This works on XP Home Edition 2600 don’t know about the pro edition can be done anytime within the 30 day trial)
First off go to www.ultraedit.com and download a free copy of ultraedit32
Then make a copy of your winlogon.exe (copy&paste it to your desktop you can find the winlogon.exe Here-- right click your start button click on explore And find your WINDOWS folder click on this and have a look around for a folder called system32 open this and in there somewhere you’ll find the winlogon.exe
Open the winlogon.exe with UltraEdit
Once open scroll down to position -
00039660h: EB E9 8B D1 57 33 C0 89 02 89 42 08 89 42 10 89
And change these numbers to the ones below
00039660h: EB E9 C7 06 01 00 00 00 83 EE 04 C3 89 42 10 89
Now your winlogon.exe has been altered save it to a floppy (Delete the winlogon.exe on your Desktop)
Now! You need to boot in to safe mode and find the winlogon files,
click your start button and click the Run… icon
Copy&paste this address( C:WindowsSystem32Dllcache ) into the Run program
And click OK this will open the dllcache folder find the winlogon.exe and Delete it
Now Copy&Paste your altered winlogon.exe in its place.
Nearly finished
Copy&Paste this Address: ( C:windowsSystem32 ) into the Run….
Program and click OK this will open the System32 Folder and find the Winlogon.exe
drag it to your Desktop and rename Winlogon2.exe and place the winlogon.exe
you Altered in its place.
Now reboot your System!
To find out if it has worked click your Activation button and you will see your copy of Windows XP is Activated
May be a good idea to download a copy of XP Antispy after all this

/ohmy.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':o\' />) (it worked fine even with the greek version of win XP pro)At a first glance, I was a bit confused with a couple of \"steps\" of the whole procedure, but thankfully I found my way out of the darkness :>
So I\'m posting this message \'cos I think there could be others to find themselves in the same difficulties as I did.
1st.(Fireball\'s words: Expand your \"winlogon.ex_\" from install CD and have it prepared for the first safe login... )
-There is an EXPAND.EXE file in the install CD
Run the command prompt from programs menu like this:
(yourCDdrive):>expand winlogon.ex_ c:(destination folder)
and then rename the expanded winlogon.ex_ to winlogon.exe and save it for later (to edit with ultra-edit32)
2nd.(Fireball\'s words:Change position 39662h (or 39660h sometimes) 8B D1 57 33 C0 ..... with these bytes C7 06 01 00 00 00 83 EE 04 C3 ) Easy to say in simple words like this but it took me a while to get the point
/tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> /smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />-there is this line:
00039660h: EB E9 8B D1 57 33 C0 89 02 89 42 08 89 42 10 89
that should end up to look like this:
00039660h: EB E9 C7 06 01 00 00 00 83 EE 04 C3 89 42 10 89
...so put the cursor over number 8 and start typing C7 06... until C3
-the characters will be substituted every time you type (not moved to the right like I initially thought..)
Save.. and the work is done.. :> taraahhh
3rd.(Fireball\'s words:Be *SURE* youv made this winlogon swap at the *FIRST* login (safe mode) immediatelly after install.)
-You should press F8 even before you see the green valley for the first time!
Right after the setup\'s countdown arrives at 0 min. left, windows will reboot automatically.
When the monitor goes black you can start pressing F8
/smile.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':)\' />))-you might get a promt like: \"choose device to boot from\" - choose HardDisk and continue pressing F8 until you get the SAFE MODE options.
-choose the first one.. (safe mode)
-the system will log you in as administrator..
-then from tools->folder options->view->choose to view hidden files and folders and show extentions for known file types...
-locate windowssystem32dllcachewinlogon.exe and rename it into \"winlogon.exe.orig\"
-copy modified winlogon into dllcache dir
-locate windowssystem32winlogon.exe and rename it the same way
-copy modified winlogon into system32 dir
-reboot, all done

The \'Fireball\' and \'Le Bonge\' versions of the crack methods apparently work referring to the users answers. Both methods seem to be similar and build on editing the winlogon.exe file.

First thing I did was I activated the first one legitamitely, but not using the internet. I used the telephone option because I thought I could register another computer with the same confirmation ID they gave me. However, when I tried this on another computer, with the same product id, it didn\'t work. So I called up M$ again, got a customer service representative, and told them I installed and activated Windows XP already but the internet crashed so my DAD suggested i reinstall Windows XP. I told the stupid beyach on the phone that I needed another confirmation ID and she gladly gave me it complete with instructions meant for 4 year olds.
I bet any of you that I could activate numerous more copies of windows xp like this, and so can you. Just remember to sound like a dumb, kind of impatient, customer who is confused and pissed cuz their windows xp won\'t activate. I bet 90% of the people who call are morons fitting that profile, so I doubt you\'ll have a problem getting it activated.
If you don\'t have a genuine, unique product ID to begin with, I\'d use the hex winlogin.exe and use the recovery console to 0wnz the copy in C:WindowsSystem32

It involved some running around...
Go to a computer store. Buy a copy of XP.
Install it.
Call for activation
There you go! And you have a free coaster!
Better yet, register at oem.microsoft.com, and when they have a presentation for their new products, they give away about $1000 in stuff free

I did the Winlogon hack this morning and it worked fine. I set the date in my BIOS ahead a year and everything still worked. I clicked on the \"Activate Windows\" shortcut and it says Windows is already activated. I went to Windows Update and was able to download and install updates. So far, so good. Now for sp1.

if this is a home computer and you want all your setting to stay ensure you add the -nosidgen.

I try this P using Windows XP Home Edition (Final Version Build 2600). And no need to patch after the first boot after installation. You can do this anytime you want in safe mode or using another os like win98/2k (dual boot).
By modified winlogon.exe, windows will say this machine already activated when you clicking activate windows in start menu. To remove this activate shortcut from start menu you need to unregister regwizc.dll and licdll.dll using regsvr32.exe.
Just start \"run\" and type this
regsvr32.exe -u regwizc.dll
regsvr32.exe -u licdll.dll
Them go to dos prompt and type
del /s /f /q %SYSTEMROOT%System32idwlog.exe
del /s /f /q %SYSTEMROOT%System32wpabaln.exe
del /s /f /q %SYSTEMROOT%prefetchWPABALN.EXE-337AF9CE.pf

On the first boot after install is complete, boot into SAFE MODE
(thats the F8 key) and open regedit.exe
Locate this following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersion
change the \"RegDone\" key value fron 0 to 1
Then find this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionWinLogon
change \"Activation Required\" key value from 1 to 0
Close regedit and do the following:
Go to StartReboot
This trick is not easy for Wnidows XP ,if you have windows 98 then regdone=\"1\" work.Since Micresoft have more intelegent teme then \"haker world\" ,They track all computer of world using IE 4,IE 5,IE 6 and Windows.So if you are from US and you have not registered copy and you use Internet Then you may be in trouble.If you are not form US .Then nothing to worry about.

(If you don\'t want product activation go get a dell copy of the windows XP CD from someone. the boot sectors do something to windows XP set-up and product activation gets disabled according to one of their documents.)
I have a PC at work with XP Home on it, which is a DELL machine! If I burn the CD can I take it home, install XP from the burned CD and not have any problems with activation or registration?
If the above is true.... can I still download the XP updates and all without Microsoft finding out?
If anyone can email me with a reply I would most grateful,
Regards
Neil

In the Sad crack for XP It has a patched licdll.dll. I want to compare that with the normal licdll.dll. Then I can post HexEdit that make XP say \"Windows is Activated\". The Sad crack also has the winlogon crack. Hell Yeah!
I need a HexEditor that let\'s me compare the code and look for the difference. Quick replies are useful.

i think that if you have installed your original winxp pro with valid corporate key,which sp1 accepts(sp1 blocks many \"well known\" corporate keys) then it might work
......i\'m not sure because not tested(i wanted to install both winxp pro and sp1 at the same time so i slipstreamed)

To activate windows go to run and type oobe/msoobe /a
then type certificate as xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx ( your own certificate) in by phone
CLICK OK
then go to regedit in your windows folder and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsoftwaremicrosoftwindowsNTcurrent version wpaevents oobetimer
click edit binery
and type
0000 CA 82 B8 55 D4 04 B5 CF
0008 CC 5B 24 97
THEN GO TO RUN AND TYPE: oobe/msoobe /a
and it will say windows allready activated.

\"2) Raising the bar on pirates
- Product key inclusion in Installation ID for activation
In order to protect customers and Microsoft against product key attacks, the product key used to install Windows will be included in the Installation ID for all activations completed after SP1 has been installed. Internet activations will send the entire product key while telephone activations will send a hash value of the product key in order to limit the increase in size of the telephone Installation ID..
- Repair of activation circumventions
Service Pack 1 for Windows XP will contain fixes to cracks used by software pirates to circumvent activation. Installations of Windows XP patched by a crack will require activation after SP1 has been installed. \"

and save it as a .reg file somewhere simple like C:winactivation.reg
(Save a copy of your original key just incase it goes wrong)
Double click the reg file and enter it into the registry. To see it it went right type oobe/msoobe /a into the run box and it should say \"windows has been activated\". Now open notepad again and add this.

If you want it simple i am uploading files to my website (temporarily)
Activation Reg File (http://\"http://a2kweb.myby.co.uk/wpa/winactivation.reg\")
Reg file that runs Winactivation silently at startup (http://\"http://a2kweb.myby.co.uk/wpa/run.reg\")
Instruction: Save winactivation.reg to the root of the drive you installed WinXp and run.reg to anywhere. Double-click run.reg and click Yes to the dialog box that comes up. If you want to activate it straight away double-click winactivation.reg as well and click yes to the dialouge box. (you can activate it before or after installation of win sp1, better to do it before though) if you have a winlogon crack ure gonna have to replace it (unless it installs straight over it, i had to replace my winlogon with original cause it wouldnt install beta sp1) if you need the original download it (make sure you scan all my files before using them) if you have a Q306676 winlogon hack just re-install the patch downloadable from Here (http://\"http://a2kweb.myby.co.uk/wpa/winlogon.zip\")
Install Sp1. Thats the simplified version. If there are broken links tell me and ill try to sort it out.

I purchased and have purchased microsft products for years and absolutely HATE the fact that they require this bs registraction activation stuff. I even consider a lawsuit for not posting that activation stuff clearly on the front cover of their Product Package. Maybe a few of these lawsuits will help them smarten up and not be moronic.
I could go on about Microsoft\'s idiocy and big brother attitude but will close for now.

MS Bob\"
As time pass\'s you will see, no company, that is IT based, that can fight the wolf forever, and i don\'t mean piracy either. You don\'t stand a chance...neither do we.
The IT world has been looked as something to be \"critical\". Have you looked around lately. There\'s alternative\'s to everything in IT today. Way too many developer\'s and creative writer\'s out there. \"Critical\" is becoming more of a synonym for convience.
Talk about your reach...when you have the power of Exon or GM then you can talk about your reach. Your reach is nothing to be compared to such as those\'s. Nor are our\'s.
Remember this Bob, and remember this well, for almost everybody forget\'s the reality of IT.
If you have no monitor and no speaker\'s. What is software Bob? Well it\'s something you cant...
1. Touch
2. Taste
3. Smell
4. See
5. Hear
How many sense\'s do we as humans have Bob??
Hmm...strange isnt it. How can something so beautiful, so testing, so exhilerating, escape the sense\'s of a human being without the 2 simple device\'s. Well in a distant way consumer\'s are realizing this. Taking less time to upgrade, less time to logon when not at work, and putting more time into other things than IT. It\'s starting to show right now in society and it has been showing even longer on wall street.
Your living in fantasy land when you think your giong to change something. If you want to aim at consumer\'s that\'s fine, but remember, people don\'t care so much about IT as they did just a few years ago. After alot crashed many lost hope in it for making money, and only found IT to be just another electronic leash with having to check emails constantly, having to attend net meetings, having to pay isp bills, etc...
In today\'s world, someone who feels cut off or just more complexed with what they have to due with a computer at work and then again at there own home is just not going to do it by cutting themselve\'s off from the computer or software. Then where does that leave the IT business as whole Bob??.
Believe me they will drop any software if shown a easier way to do things. This means by means of alternate OS\'s, not upgrading OS\'s, pirated software, or ANYTHING it take\'s just to ease the burden\'s they deal with at work by making their home computer less complicated and less time consuming.
Don\'t want to believe it Bob?? I know how you feel, and it\'s scaring us, and will you too if it doesnt already. That is just people today, you know. It\'s like anything else new to the majority of people, \"Wow, Cool George !!! \", then a year later \"George just turn it off !!! \"
It\'s a shame MS wont realize this aswell as so many IT companies. Who cares right?? Why bother??? Everytime you hear something about IT now days it revolve\'s around something negative right???. Wether it be some group getting arrested for piracy, how the movie and record industry are loosing money, how IT stock price\'s are falling and will not stablize, how someone is tired of checking emails. The list gone\'s on and on today Bob. This isn\'t the internet revolution of several years ago anymore Bob :-(...sad but true.
Basically, what should be happening in IT is not. So many people focusing on the negative and helping \"Secure\" everything, but what was the last time you overheard someone not at work, someone you didnt know, at a bar or wherever, say something really interesting about IT??? I can bet hardly ever in these times. Now just a few years ago you heard it all the time, but IT is just becoming \"Old Hat\". We should be focusing on new idea\'s, new hope, new things to make people come back to the desktop at there own will and not at the will of work or burnden.
You, Bob, @MS, you wont get this, none of you will...not until it\'s too late. Remember as soon as a dog start\'s barking, you look to see where the dog is, then you look to make sure you can get out if it comes out you, and then you make note of who the dog belongs to or where atleast it live\'s.
This is what is happening with your whole company right now with consumers Bob. Luckily it\'s on a level where there not directly picking this up. But oh how they will Bob...they will no matter what. You will be left in a entire world turning to something other than MS for all there IT needs, and when they do guess what, they will find it cheaper, more direct without alot hiddem implemations, just as good as before. Oh and Bob...it will be CHEAPER!!! Think the consumers won\'t like that Bob?? Think their turning to a alternate because they actually care about the company who makes there software??? No Bob, No. The will turn for it\'s just more convienant and leaves them more time in there physical lifestyle that they have come back to after being burnt out in cyberland in today\'s world.
Just to make sure I get to tell you this incase I can\'t find you in 5 years...
Goodbye Bob...Goodbye.

How did you burn it down and why does that eliminate the activation...
I was very happy with the first HEX method, and is running a OEM on 7 or 8 machines (installed it on a couple of friends machines to) but i have had to phone around telling people not to install SP1 untill i have a waterproof solution - Like the HEX method... Couldn\'t someone please post a very detailed manual of a fully tested way that will keep working. I already tried everything here but nothing worked
ThanX ;-)

It doesn\'t help with the Activation problem...
I\'m running XP Pro OEM that has been activated on my dads computer (since he\'s the one who bought it) but i\'ve been running it for a year on my PC too with the Logon HEX...
So i can easily install SP1 but i wants me to reactivate afterwards...
The problem is not the installation it\'s the activation...
\'Cause i\'m using the original key witch is unknown to MS ( or not a suspicius key anyway) It\'s the only key i\'ve ever had that works on this OEM.
The key generator progs cannot generate oem keys... not even out of 200 will any of them work...
and the Corp Keys doesn\'t work with the OEM... at least not mine, It\'s a Danish Language version so it\'s propably a differen key...
If anyone has a solution that works on a oem or knows how to change an oem into a corp version or similar problem please write i\'ve tried every single solution on this page, but since changing my key isn\'t the problem i\'ve found nothing...
Thanks

i would like to try it with the corporate version, because i dont need to activate it, right?
if i install a corporate xp pro version with a corporate key from a keygen, the sp1 should work without trouble, right? but works the online update also then?
and another question:
a friend has a original xp pro retail version that is activated by the internet activation method. if i install xp from his original xp pro cd and use his legal key, but bypass the activation with a working method that was posted here and install the sp1, works the online update but for my friend get trouble with his own online update? can we update independent without trouble? Because i use his serial and i dont know, what the new version 4 online update process by m$ is looking for.

With a hexeditor edit a copy of winlogon.exe (c:windowssystem32winlogon.exe)
Change position 39662h (or 39660h sometimes)
8B D1 57 33 C0 .....
with these bytes
C7 06 01 00 00 00 83 EE 04 C3
Save and then replace the original winlogon.exe with the newone.
Must be replaced at
c:windowssystem32 and c:windowssystem32dllcache
In order be able replacing these files you must boot winxp in SAFE mode, or out from XP (real DOS, win98, etc).
Now XP HOME or PRO are activated.
Post Extras:
The only one that I tried that actually worked. The trick to finding the dllcache file is to go to run and type in the path: c:windowssystem32 and c:windowssystem32dllcache Use the ultra edit trial and this crack is a breeze.

If you have a corporate Key...follow these instructions to make it official. This was put on a website for only a day and MS made them take it down.
Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionwpaevents
double click OOBETimer
Remove CA from the value
Click ok, exit
Start - Run
%systemroot%system32oobemsoobe.exe /a
Click on the second option, then Activate
Run the proggie again, and it says its activated. Very simple.
If you don\'t have a corporate key, well, sorry.
Good luck

1. You can\'t manipulate winlogon.exe from Safe Mode because the file is IN USE. It cannot be renamed or deleted. You have to use Recovery Mode (by booting from the installation CD).
2. The modified winlogon.exe file as posted does not work (XP home, build 2600). If you replace the file from Recovery Mode and try to boot up you get the error \"User Interface Failure - msgina.dll failed to load\"
When are you guys gonna get serious and post a crack that works?

Follow the posts with reference to Ultra-Edit32 editing proggie.
Modify and replace the winlogon.exe file as stated in previous posts , follow it word for word. Replace the x2 Winlogon .exe\'s as stated.
There are lots of people responding to posts on this forum who have used this WORKING hack and have been running it for well over a year with no problems.
BTW. Dissing the forum and its posters hurts ur chances of eva getting help here and some of the most helpful and talented people frequent this forum.
SO....You just shot yourself in the foot esentially.

Recommended that all people without SP1 installed to download this small file which deactivates a very serious security flaw in all non sp1 releases of XP.
I have attached this file directly to this site.

Yes, I had this problem too... I was trying a number of things, and one of the things I tried was just changing the RegDone to 1.
Then a few days later when I rebooted, I went to \"Activate Windows\" and it said \"WINDOWS ACTIVATED\"

(This works on XP Home Edition 2600 don?t know about the pro edition can be done anytime within the 30 day trial)
First off go to www.ultraedit.com and download a free copy of ultraedit32
Then make a copy of your winlogon.exe (copy&paste it to your desktop you can find the winlogon.exe Here-- right click your start button click on explore And find your WINDOWS folder click on this and have a look around for a folder called system32 open this and in there somewhere you?ll find the winlogon.exe
Open the winlogon.exe with UltraEdit
Once open scroll down to position -
00039660h: EB E9 8B D1 57 33 C0 89 02 89 42 08 89 42 10 89
And change these numbers to the ones below
00039660h: EB E9 C7 06 01 00 00 00 83 EE 04 C3 89 42 10 89
Now your winlogon.exe has been altered save it to a floppy (Delete the winlogon.exe on your Desktop)
Now! You need to boot in to safe mode and find the winlogon files,
click your start button and click the Run? icon
Copy&paste this address( C:WindowsSystem32Dllcache ) into the Run program
And click OK this will open the dllcache folder find the winlogon.exe and Delete it
Now Copy&Paste your altered winlogon.exe in its place.
Nearly finished
Copy&Paste this Address: ( C:windowsSystem32 ) into the Run?.
Program and click OK this will open the System32 Folder and find the Winlogon.exe
drag it to your Desktop and rename Winlogon2.exe and place the winlogon.exe
you Altered in its place.
Now reboot your System!
To find out if it has worked click your Activation button and you will see your copy of Windows XP is Activated
May be a good idea to download a copy of XP Antispy after all this Search in google.com \"XP Antispy\" for this.

The cd i used was a recovery-cd from Dell, but can guarantee that that whitout the fix windows prompted me to activate, so THIS dell version at least wasn\'t \"prepared\" for non-activation.
After replacing with the modified winlogon.exe from the recovery console (boot from cd and press \"R\") it started fine. I changed dates and so forth. rebooted and checked \"msoobe.exe /a\" which told me it was allready activated.
So, fueld by my success I went on to make a fixed \"cd\" using: winiso and modifyPE.exe (checksum app). And whilst it installed fine I still had to activate at the end of the installation. The funny thing is that I only had to overwrite the two winlogons with the same file I had on my fixed CD ... and it was again activated. Wierd stuff.
Oh, and I should say that the aforementioned 10-byte hex string was NOT to be found at 39660h, but rather at 395e1h. So if anyone can tell me how to find out what sp version is on the O/S I could thereby confirm that the hex-fix also works on integrated SP1 versions of XP. Wouldn\'t that be nice

Here is the workings behind editing a file, making a new CD-RW, and installing from it.
http://home.earthlink.net/~vorck/ (http://\"http://home.earthlink.net/~vorck/\")
That said, based on my experiences trying to de-active Windows File Protection in Win2k at installation, I suspect this won\'t work.
(Sure the site\'s about removing IE but it\'s IMHO a good source for info on editing files and then slipstreaming them)

I tryed: Right click my computer icon

<- But what should there stand, if is a corp version ??
Post by: Anonymous on January 23, 2003, 11:36:41 AM
The best solution seems to be windows xp corporate edition which doesn\'t require activation.But, if I install SP1 on corp edition will I have to activate it?????
THANKS

So im assuming i have the PRO edition.
Now my question, i\'ve had the product, pirated of course, for a couple of days now.
i have never seen anything prompt that says \"YOU MUST ACTIVATE THIS PRODUCT\"
so does that mean that my product does not need activation?
or how can i find out if my product has been activated (which i doubt cuz i never did) or if my product needs activation?
CUZ i read somewhere that it gives you 50 boots or 30 days to activate, or some nonsense like that.
btw, i have no internet connection on the computer running XP, do i still need to activate it?

I went to the RUN command and typed in somehting like \"oomeb /oom /a\" or something in that order and it gave me the activation prompt and it said that windows was already activated.
So I\'m assuming that I have the CORP. edition, since I never activated it.
My new question is, since my XP is activated now, can I install my cable modem on it, or should i leave it internet-less ---?
and should i upgrade to SP1?
and if i do upgrade, will my activation need to be redone?

CLICK OK
then go to regedit in your windows folder and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsoftwaremicrosoftwindowsNTcurrent version wpaevents oobetimer
click edit binery
and type
0000 CA 82 B8 55 D4 04 B5 CF
0008 CC 5B 24 97
THEN GO TO RUN AND TYPE: oobe/msoobe /a
and it will say windows allready activated

and type
0000 CA 82 B8 55 D4 04 B5 CF

I think no one understand that this method cannot work!
This only see the window surface actived.
If you do this and set the computer 30 days later.
Your window also not work.

*****Windows XP Is Holding My Computer Hostage.*****
I can\'t get into safe mode. F8 does Nothing. it boots up, goes to the login screen, and when I try to log in, it tells me that I MUST activate. I can\'t access DOS either. I. Am. Helpless.
Dear GOD I hope that the \"less\" will disappear in this forum
someone, PLEASE, get me through this, past this, get me my computer back! I hate going to the library on these vain search+rescue (search -for- rescue
/sleep.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'-_-\' />) runs! It\'s hell! HELLLLLL!!!;_;
There has been much talk of cracks and hacks, every place I\'ve ever seen (while searching for them) said that they are inevitable. WHERE ARE THEY!? \"oh it\'s bound to happen\" \"there must be hundreds out already\" ok, WHERE? I need it, dammit, NEEEED it
note, I am an honest consumer who has been betrayed. you may quote me and use me against those M-effing THIEVING BASTARDS and Micro$h*t. Why the @%#$ did I BUY it for! I wanna @#%^ing USE what I PAID FOR.

THIS IS THE MOST EASIEST WAY TO BYPASS WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL 2600 OR WHATEVER NUMBER IT DONT MATTER! just open notepad
put this in it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWPAEvents]
\"OOBETimer\"=hex:ca,82,b8,55,d4,04,b5,cf,cc,5b,24,97
save it as something.reg on the desktop and double click it hit yes and hit ok. then go back to activate windows program and it will say \"WINDOWS IS ALREADY ACTIVATED\"
there, eat pooh.

Only problem I seem to have is that after merging your string with my registry, when I reboot the activation is lost (ie - the system reverts to non-activated).
Did I do something wrong?

change the \"RegDone\" key value fron 0 to 1
but there isnt a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionWinLogon
change \"Activation Required\" key value from 1 to 0
there isnt a Actication required in the box
Any Suggestions

Try it, then advance your clock a year and reboot: You\'ll be trapped in the activation message box at bootup and there is no way out.

Most of us know that the winlogon hack works, but if you update to SP1 it\'ll renig on you! if you try to hack winlogon again with the same trick, It\'ll go into a constant reboot cycle. So don\'t try to mod it again like my dumb arse! Or you\'ll find yourself starting from scratch.
Now the question is, has anyone found the mod for SP1? I have heard of getting a modded copy of SP1 but haven\'t found it, any Ideas?

With a hexeditor edit a copy of winlogon.exe (c:windowssystem32winlogon.exe)
Change position 39662h (or 39660h sometimes)
8B D1 57 33 C0 .....
with these bytes
C7 06 01 00 00 00 83 EE 04 C3
Save and then replace the original winlogon.exe with the newone.
Must be replaced at
c:windowssystem32 and c:windowssystem32dllcache
In order be able replacing these files you must boot winxp in SAFE mode, or out from XP (real DOS, win98, etc).
Now XP HOME or PRO are activated.
Post Extras:
The only one that I tried that actually worked. The trick to finding the dllcache file is to go to run and type in the path: c:windowssystem32 and c:windowssystem32dllcache Use the ultra edit trial and this crack is a breeze.

1. when ur computer is starting press F8 so that u get the screen that gives you the options to start the computer in safe mode and all that stuff
2. select start the computer in safe mode with ms dos prompt or something like that. (its been a long time since ive done this cause ive gone back to windows 98)
3. i think u will get the screen asking which user u want. just click administrator.
4. Type \"explorer\" (without quotes) and ur in. thats it. pretty simple.
if this don\'t work don\'t blame me cause ive havn\'t done this in a year. just tell me where u get lost and i might remember.

/tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> Easy to do, and it worked for me.
Go into Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance
on the left of the screen, youll see a link under \"See Also\" named System Restore, click that.
A box will pop up, check the radio button (if it is not already) next to \"Restore my computer to an earlier time\", click next.
A calendar will come up and you can click on the days to find when you last installed SP1, i forget what its called, but it should be something like \"Installation of SP1\" or whatever, click on it, hit next or ok or whatever, let the system restore and reboot, then bam! problem solved.. just dont update anymore, lol

it all sounds like one big headache. My advice is to download Kazaa, emule, or a good filesharing program and get a copy of the corporate version from there. It is all over the place. You can also get registration cracks as well.

I was wondering how bad XP will run on a p3 500 with 768 megs of ram, a 30 gig hard drive, 32 meg video card, sound blaster awe 64, and a 10/100 network, this computer is used mainly for gaming on battle.net and currently has 300 some odd megs of ram in it, all of which is used when i play diablo two lord of destruction on its lowest settings, 200 megs of my virtual memory are used also
/ph34r.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':ph34r:\' /> (as i chatter on *rolls eyes*) when i do crack XP, what can i expect? it to run beautifully? or to find a bunch of super geeks with cattle prods at my door the next day, i also would like to know if i am less likly or more likly to get hacked running this operating system behind norton firewall
If you want to crack XP, you may want to try some serious warez sites, do NOT download an OS off of kazaa, morpheus, or whatever, there is a BIG chance it is messed with, (I.E. spyware, zombie type viruses ((zombie viruses are viruses that use your computer to attack other computers)) or just plain viruses that are meant to kill your computer)
and not fully functional, personally i would just go mow a few lawns, skip dinner once or twice, and go buy XP pro and crack it but thats just the opinion of a 14 year old, so dont listen to me, please, im too young to know anything
/tongue.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':P\' /> ONE last thing
which is less of a system drain, 2000 pro or XP pro?
e-mail me with replies, ill probably lose this thread in the millions of SPAM e-mails that i get from symantic
