There is a crack on the Internet, seen it in loads of places.

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

To restore your windows XP, go to Start, Programs, Accessories, and system tool, and go for Restore. When you restore, select the date that ws fine. Any softwares you had installed after that will not work, you have to install them again.

I tried this...
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 ??

Activate it by phone.

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.

I tried the regedit method................
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

Hey, .. if you think about it man .. it does make some sense... it could be done just althering the registry .. well surely someone will give it a try to see if it works .. :-D.. maybe it will ..

id4_disk9 · « **Reply #148 on:** June 10, 2002, 12:17:40 AM »

Me again ..
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 ..

i aquired a copy of xp pro that has a 180day trial agreement
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.

The hex edited WINLOGON.EXE works beauty.
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.

I have an official copy of XP Professional and I have installed it on my computer. Everything is fine.

BUT, Can I install it again onto another machine? I\'m sure the answer is in here somewhere but I NEED to know ASAP. I\'ve so so many cracks everywhere but to be honest I\'m unsure of using any of them.

What is the best thing to do?? Please let me know.

Thanking you in advance.

i\'m planning to get a version of XP HOME... wonder which crack works on it.. the regedit one or the winlogon one ?

hope the regedit one works on XP HOME ?

I have read every posting and am not sure as to simplest or most appropriate crack for Windows XP Pro. It looks as though there are several, could you refer to the best one;
many thanks.

Posted earlier about hex key method. Did y\'all know that after editing and making new WINLOGON, all u have to do is boot into safe mode find the aforementioned winlogon files, you can directly replace C:WindowsSystem32Dllcache winlogon, and then drag the C:windowsSystem32 winlogon to your desktop, rename it winlogon1 place the new winlogon into C:windowsSystem32, reboot, and delete winlogon1 (it may have been renamed winlogon again but the right one is now in place, check if you like with the aforementioned hex editor, but you wont have to because it will now say windows is activated.....) *nb you need to be able to view hidden files and folders to be able to see C:windowsSystem32Dllcache, also always use xp antispy after all this!!!!! have phun y\'all

Like everyone....
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???

The hex trick does indeed work. You can do it even after you\'ve booted Windows XP several times. The offset at which the string of hex values starts can be before or after 39662, but they are in that general vicinity.

I just made this work for both Windows XP Home and Professional. Kudos to whoever posted this originally!
