Xp Activation

[Johnny_B]

Did you do the following:

Used XPKey.exe to generate a valid key (for XP Home not Corp).
Used the Windows XP Product Key Modifier to change your key.
Rebooted your computer.
Checked it with ViewKeyXP.exe to see if your key had been successfully changed.

If you did all this and it didn't work, just try another key generated by XPKey.exe until it works. It will eventually.

thanks for everybodys help and advice, i tried it all and have tried nearly every crack on the web but sp1 just kills them all, untill someone comes up with a new crack people like me are buggered for more than one machine, i think ms really do know their stuff.

You're wanting someone to pm you a key, aren't you. Well i'll tell you something, there's no way i'm sending you one. I think that you, like a few other new posters, seem a little suspicious.

There's enough advice in this post for you to get xp running on all your machines.

point no 1. i am not a bloody spy for ms or any other organisation, i wish some big wig from microsoft were to read these boards then they might realise that they are actually turning people like me who spend hard earned money 160 english pounds
not dollers on their poxy software into a thief as they see it.
point 2 i dont want anybody sending me keys as i have the keygen exe and the install prog i can generate a new key and install it but xp still wont activate and if you try to activate it with ms online it says invalid key and the next thing they do something nasty to your browser and everytime you go online you get disconnected by microsoft nt its all beyond me

For the love of god.......

Don't try to activate xp with microsoft if you are using a dodgy key. Have you no sense? And what is the problem you are having? In your last post, it's installing service pack 1, now we're back to activation.

I'm sorry but WTF??!??!!

I posted you a link to a site where you can get xp fix files, included in which is an oobe (out of box experience) crack. This 'activates' windows for you. If you have a valid bought key then use it to install all your copies of windows, just don't activate with microsoft.

I repeat.

......don't activate with microsoft.

sorry about the misunderstanding but look i have xp home build 2600 and its got sp1 already in it i think this is why no cracks work on ms site they boast about sp1 dealing with all existing cracks on the internet and this seems to be the case as none have worked with me. as for me reg online i only did it once and then had to reinstall. i dont know maybe i havent tried enough keys.

You're still missing the point.

SP1 will 'block' certain keys which m$ knows to be fake.

SP1 will not install on installations with the following product IDs containing the following serial numbers (note that X takes the place of any other value): XXXXX-640-0000356-23XXX, & XXXXX-640-2001765-23XXX. Users of licensed Microsoft software will be unaffected. If SP1 is installed on a Windows XP installation with one of the above product IDs, SP1 installation will fail and error with the following message: Service Pack 1 Setup Error: The product key used to install Windows is invalid.

This is obviously what you've got so stop using it. You have a valid paid for key, use it. As long as you don't try to activate with Microsoft, it won't matter one bit how many machines you install it on.

Did you check out the site i posted for you? Install Windows with your valid key, then use the XPFixFiles to 'activate' windows. Do this on all your machines. Simple.

he is right!!!! i had the same problem goto brainwaves site u can get a program that generates keys and it tests them for you also. it takes about 20/30 mins fot it to find a valid key!!

then change it with the other program select save and its done!!!

admittedley i had to try a couple of keys because when i went to get sp1 it cut me off after about 3 hours downloading and installing!!!

now i get all the updates as they are released automatically so stick with it!

i have tried all of that i can change keys i can activate with the fix files i can check that the key has taken but it all resets back upon rebooting my original key comes back and the day countdown carries on as if nothing had happened. the point i am making is that i have a bang up to date version and it seems to shrug of any attempt to change it i wish you could see it. iam sure all these fixes worked on early versions of xp but this thing ive got seems to be cast iron.
