Xp Sp1 Cd Keys

[d3bruts1d]

These two CD key sets do not work with SP1...

 

XXXXX-640-0000356-23XXX

XXXXX-640-2001765-23XXX

 

 

Those are corp CD Keys....

 

 

Though apparently, if you have one of those numbers, you can use TweakXP (or another program) and change the CD key to a valid one... say...

 

XXXXX-640-0000126-23XXX

 

And the SP1 will install..... keep in mind, it is still a beta SP.

[Bosco]

you mean product keys.. ?

[d3bruts1d]

Product key, CD key, serial number... whatever ya want to call it.

[Bosco]

Ya you know the thing of a jig or the dohicky

[VolcomPimp]

That's for Windows XP right???

 

Why not just grab yourself a corporate copy, no cd key needed to install and don't need to register...

[d3bruts1d]

Corp CD keys are being nulled...

 

Those two above are corp CD keys... yes, even the corp disk have cd keys, you just dont have to enter them.

[VolcomPimp]

what do ya mean by nulled???

I knew they had a cd-key and all but ya mean that they are blacklisting the certain pirate coppies or somethin??? (internally I mean...)

Change your XP CD-Key!

 

Windows XP SP1 Beta will NOT install on systems configured using the FCKGW corp key.

 

However, all is not lost for you warez kiddies!

 

1. Run a system resore to create a new checkpoint in case you need it.

2 . Run regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\WPAEvents, on the right double click on "oobetimer" and change at least one digit of this value to deactivate windows.

3 . Choose run from start menu and type in this command: %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a to get the activation screen and go to the second option which is activate by phone.

4 . In the new screen choose the option to change product key, and type in the new product key (your Corporate one only).

4 a. If it brings you back to the prior screen after entering the new key click remind me later and then reboot.

5 . Close that window, reboot your system and enter the command in step 2 for the second time to verify your activation , you should see "windows is already activated".

6 .1 Now install SP1

7 . If you have done this wrong or without a valid key you will not be able to boot. hit F8 and select last known good configuration.

Microsoft Strikes Back | 7/23/2002 | Written by: Anonymous

 

Microsoft is planning what could end up being quite a shock for the Windows XP warez world, and what currently looks to be one of the most amazing moves made by Microsoft since Windows Product Activation was introduced.

 

Currently, Microsoft is in the works of completely rewriting the algorithm for the way Windows XP Corporate keys are generated, and is rewriting the code for Windows XP to recognize this new algorithm. This new code will be an added 'feature' of Service Pack 1 due out later this year.

 

At the present moment, an upgrade to Windows XP SP1 from Windows XP with no SP installation will not give any problems or errors about an invalid CD-Key on a corporate version of Windows XP. This is because the new algorithm feature has been switched off in SP1 upgrades. To get to see this new feature, you would have to slipstream SP1 into the Windows XP installation media and setup Windows. Once you've reached the CD-key, no current Corporate Windows XP key (none of the 75 that we've tried) will work, as they are all invalid. Even if a corporate key is managed to be found, the chances of it working when SP1 final comes out are slim to none, as Microsoft is rumored to 'still be working on the algorithm for SP1 for Corporate customers'.

 

So why is Microsoft keeping this a secret? To put it mildly, they are a bit perturbed that warezers have been able to exploit the corporate edition of Windows XP to completely bypass WPA. They are planning to keep it a complete surprise until SP1 final has been released and shut down as many warez users from using Windows XP as possible. They know if it's made widely known what they are planning, nobody will upgrade to SP1 until an appropriate patch has been made.

 

And as far as patches go, as far as we can guess right now the only patch that is going to work will be the ever popular "Reset" patch. If you slipstream a corporate version of Windows XP as you're supposed to do, it will upgrade the algorithm. Note that the slipstream patches the DLL files which generate the CD keys, it doesn't replace them. This is why you cannot slipstream a non corporate version of Windows XP and drop the corporate files in and expect the installation to work properly. Windows also checks for the DLL files version numbers and if they don't match, errors will be created during install. It could be possible to find these DLL's, replace the version numbers with those of SP1, and put them back into the installation media, but you'd also have to find a way to replicate the Microsoft signature on the DLL's as well as the CAB files for setup to actually copy the files to the hard drive.

 

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about this is that the current Corporate users of Windows XP are going to have to get a new CD-key reissued for their versions of Windows with SP1. Microsoft has decided that the cost of current corporate customers having to get a new CD-key is less that what they are losing in the market of Windows XP being distributed as a corporate installation amongst warez users. Microsoft is also planning to warn those with corporate editions of Windows XP to not let the CD-keys slip into the mainstream. The EULA is going to be rewritten to fit a new type of 'Corporate release' and it's been rumored that if a customers key is to get into the market, Microsoft may take legal action against those consumers.

 

Another rumor that is running rounds at Redmond is that Microsoft may actually include a type of "Phone home" feature in the corporate versions of Windows XP only. This feature would connect to a Microsoft server upon connection and deliver the IP address of the connected computer and what the Installation ID is. Before privacy advocates begin screaming, realize that if Microsoft was to want to do this, they could very easily make provisions in the EULA that they (Microsoft) have included a feature that makes sure the Corporate edition of Windows XP is not installed on more computers than it's contract is made out for, and the computers IP address and the Installation ID may be transmitted to a local Microsoft server thought 128-bit encryption. No more information would be transmitted to the servers, and for more information, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement. It's a possibility, as corporate versions of Windows aren't exactly tailored for use by home and everyday users, so the EULA could very well be expanded to include such a feature.

 

As far as activation goes on a legal copy of Windows XP, we slipstreamed our copy and it installed and activated without any problems. The algorithm for normal customers will stay the same apparently. So far, only the corporate version of XP gets the new revamped algorithm feature. It's one less feature I can do without personally.

Keep in mind that the SP is still Beta... so, you might be able to chane the CD key now and get the Beta installed, but more than likely you'll see many more CD keys get nulled.

 

Also, remember Windows Update is going to start looking at CD keys...
