miinaturvat Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Not entirely sure if people already know about this or not, but I thought I'd post it here, since it helped me earlier today for my XP Virtual Machine, and will probably come in useful for others, too I'm not taking any credit for the discovery of this, but I wrote it myself Activate Windows 1) Open Regedit. go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents". 2) Change "OOBETimer"'s value to "FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F D5 33 93 FD". 3) Within Regedit, right-click the 'WPAEvents' directory and select 'Permissions'. 4) For the SYSTEM group, deny 'Full Control' by clicking the appropriate check-box, then hit OK. 5) Close Regedit. Windows is now validated. No more 30-day trial! It works on XP, not sure about Vista, though.
