I installed Bill Gates Vista on 2 different hard drives at 2 different times. Using Winver.exe, they are both set to expire on 5/31/07... ???

This is the date for which the betas and RC serial keys are set to expire.

Well, today my company got real cd-keys for Windows Vista Ultimate, i tried to change back to the original tokens and the other file, so it was like the original of the Winbeta release, then I re-activated Ultimate with this legal cd-key ( a MSDN-key) and... It worked perfectly, my Ultimate edition is now registred and fully working for all time, the expire date is gone, and the "evaluation watermark" is gone.

Yeh, I'm happy... I hope someone can get a workin keygenerator for all of you out there.
The interesting part was that the WinBeta-release works with those company-keys, this means that if someone get a workin keygenerator, Vista won't have to be cracked, windows update will work for every1 forever and so on... Hope you get it fixed....

And how will this working key generator stop MS from blacklisting any of the keys it generates? Surely you don't believe that MS hasn't thought about a key generator, they hired blackhats to help design the security and anti-piracy methods!!! They can blacklist and nuke any computer they feel isn't genuine. Even if you key is legit and comes from MS itself they can still nuke your machine if they want to.
And to be honest, I cannot see how your genuine MSDN key would even work with a BETA RC1 or RC2 version of Vista, considering they use completely different hashing algorithms.

I think virtual r meant he used the RC* crack to get his vista RTM to run, then he replaced the RC" tokens.dat and other file with the ones from build 6000, and then used his legit key to activate.
But yeh ur right, M$ would blacklist any keygen.. besides, a working keygen is not needed. I would assume a working activation crack would not prerequisite a serial number to be entered in order for it to work..

No no, no key generators! That's the worst option! Then WGA has to be cracked as well, even if it generates a key that would activate (don't worry, it won't).
The only valid option is to crack the 30 days toward activation timer. That is the only option to keep Windows WGA-proof and updateable.

Look at what I found when the window tray activation icon reminded me to activate within 24 days (this is the command that launches the tray notification):
C:\Windows\system32\SLUI.exe 2 0 0 0 24 30 0 1 2 -1 0 {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
Of course, this command seems to run at random. I was lucky to capture the process command when it did occur. But I didn't get a chance to grab the other info (well, I got the strings but none of the thread info, stack, etc.). I'm not posting the string since it's huge. Also, you can probably find out by opening SLUI.exe using a hexeditor.
Anyone know how to decipher the command? I know the "24" means my days left and the "30" means the total trial period days. What does the "1 2 -1" part mean? The stuff between the curly braces looks like serial keys but why are they all blank? I did not input a serial when installing vista but even so vista generated a serial number anyway. So, why isn't it shown?!
Anyway, this brings up more questions than answers.

| Quote: | KMS method to activate your Vista !! (Business/Enterprise editions only)
Step 01:
Install Vista FINAL RELEASE with Key XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-2V3X8
Choose "Business edition" ONLY not others !!
Step 02:
When Windows setup completed and Internet access setup completed.
Open Command Prompt under "Administrator Mode",
That is, right click the Command Prompt icon, select "run as admin"
Activate your Business Vista against sito.kmip.net
(This is a private KMS server for Volume License 2.0a activiation).
Now in command prompt (Admin mode)
type -
cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -skms sito.kmip.net
cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ato
Activate completed !!
Now you may wish to check the activation status
type -
cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dlv
*************
KMS Volume License activate requires re-activate every 180 days.
The reactive should be done automatically.
Only works for Business Vista and Enterprise Vista, not other editions!! |
This circulates all over but I havnt tried it.
Apparently Chinese have set up an activation server (KMS) that is public, at least that's what they say.
Havn't tried it as I don't have enterprise installed anywhere.
edit:removed serial

Sounds good but i'm not sure this method will work for a long time.

I browsed around a chinese forum and they had a vmware image that can be used for KMS server, i.e. running a server yourself in vmware and using it as a server to activate.
I'm downloading it but not sure if I got the right file yet.

- what nfo version of Vista is most complete and works perfect
- what version of Vista has longest activation period and how dificult is to activate it
- have there been realised drivers for Geforce VGA, Asus / Gigabyte motherboards, canon multufunctional printers, ADSL, MX 1000 mouse.....
- how does instalation of S-Ata HDD works on Vista, is same as on XP at the beggining of instalation of OS or ??
- with what nfo version games best performs on Vista
- do any games have issues with Vista at this moment and what are those games
- does Aero inflact performance of games on Vista
- what is fps on Vista OS compering to XP in games
Please, if somebody can give concreat answers, I would be thankfull!

I found the torrent link now and I'm downloading.
The public kms server in china WORKS at the moment, and loves you long time (one guy activated and got 2008 as expiration date).
I'm gonna try set up a private server once i get this vmware image.
Good luck

well the torrent allows you to make your own server, only problem is, you need 25 different computers to make it be able to activate.

1)
Well generally speaking, there are a few releases available.. the BillGates release (first one to come out), WinBeta and the ECHOS release.
WinBeta and BillGates releases are both AIO (All In One), meaning that any version of Vista can be installed from the DVD, you select the one you want during setup.
WinBeta, however, is the only current release to have additional x64 support.
The Echos volume license enterprise release does not give you any particular advantage over using the other two, as Microsoft now requires volume license editions to be activated, as opposed to Windows XP.
Regarding feedback from other forum users, I would advise against installing 64 bit Vista, driver and software support for the x64 platform in Vista is allegedly unacceptable.
I personally run WinBeta 32bit Ultimate edition and am so far very happy with it.
It found drivers for most of my hardware, minus my TV tuner and mobile phone. For those devices the XP drivers worked flawlessly.
2)
There is no working crack for Windows Vista Genuine Advantage (WVGA) at the moment.
There are a couple of temporary workarounds that have been proven to work:
a) Using an RC1 / RC2 / Beta key to activate.
Here, two files from within Windows Vista counting activation key data are replaced with their Beta counterparts, meaning that a legit beta key can be used to activate Vista RTM.
The main downside to this is that, as with the Beta, the product will expire on June 1st 2007.
Also, if you choose this method, it is likely that when a real working fix comes out you will not be able to fix your machine, as it is already "activated"; it is easier to crack a "virgin" Vista install into activated mode than cracking a time tomb.
b) Using the 2099 trick
This is simple: before you install Vista, set your BIOS clock forward to 2099.
After you install it, set your clock back to 2006.
The 30 day expiry date WILL go down, but instead of actual time being counted down, the clock will only count down your usage of Windows.
This means that you have 30 days worth of usage of Windows.. the clock is suspended when your PC is turned off and Windows is not running.
"slmgr.vbs -rearm" command may be used up to 3 times to reset the clock, so you have 120 days usage.. by which time hopefully a working WVGA crack will be released to the public.
3) Drivers
I'm not sure about Geforce cards, but I'm aware that people have been having a number of problems when running specific games.
My ATI card runs fine under Microsofts default WDDM drivers.
As for your other hardware, if Windows and your hardware manufacturer do not supply Vista drivers at this time, I would advise you to try out your XP drivers. Generally speaking with devices like printers, wireless and sound cards, they work ok.
4) SATA support is embedded into Vista, you do not need one of those stupid boot floppies in order to use your SATA disk under Vista setup.
5) Games, as all other applications, will perform with minimal differences on different versions of Vista, they all use DirectX 10 / 9L
As not much of a gamer, I'm not aware of what games Vista is having problems with.
I can tell you though that Half-Life 2 as well as Episode One both work flawlessly.
6) Aero is turned off automatically when most games are run, therefore performance is not hindered.
7) No concrete tests have been determined yet for game performance under Windows Vista.
My advice to you is to:
Install XP SP2 and get your system up and running.
Next create a secondary partition on your hard disk, change your clock forward to 2099 and install Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit. Use any release you want.
Do not enter a serial number when you install.
When you log into Vista, put your clock back to normal and enjoy.
You'll find yourself with a dual boot menu when you power on your computer.
The command "slmgr.vbs -xpr" will tell you how much time you have left before you need to run "-rearm".
Now, why install XP SP2?
Well first of all, you're getting a new computer so you'll probably be curious as to how XP and Vista perform comparatively with your hardware.
Also, if a particular application / game/ piece of hardware doesn't work yet under Vista, just boot into XP and you should have no problems.
Generally though, I am very happy with Vista at the moment and am considering wiping my XP installation.
