Windows 7 Ultimate has been cracked, and can be permanently activated with
OEM style instant offline activation which will pass Windows Genuine Advantage
(WGA) validation, before even any Windows 7 is officially released according to
Windows
7 release schedule. All hell breaks loose when a Windows 7 Ultimate OEM DVD
ISO from Lenovo been leaked and posted on Chinese forum. The ISO was quickly
grabbed to retrieve boot.wim, which was then used to retrieve the OEM-SLP
product key and OEM certificate for Windows 7 Ultimate.
Microsoft has updated the the SLP (System-Locked Preinstallation), a procedure
that used to preactivate Windows operating system for mass distribution by
major OEM (original equipment manufacturers), to version 2.1 to support Windows
7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 while provided backward-compatibility for Windows
Vista and Windows Server 2008 activation. Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
OEM activation is provided by SLP 2.0. SLP 2.1 requires SLIC imprinted in BIOS
to be updated to SLIC version 2.1 too, which contains new Windows Marker.
After extracting the OEM certificate and OEM product key, it’s confirmed that Windows 7 uses the same digitally signed OEM certificate (in .xrm-ms extension) that is been used in Windows Vista. Windows Vista OEM cert can be used in Windows 7 has been explained in Windows 7 forum. As OEM certificate is digitally signed by Microsoft with its own Private Key with OEM Public Key and OEMID (part of SLIC table in BIOS). The combination of correct Private Key, Public Key with OEMID will pass SLP validation as valid Microsoft license. Meanwhile, Windows Marker is signed by OEM itself based on OEMID and OEMTableID (both belongs to SLIC) using the private key that matches the public key. Thus, the same OEM cert can be used for many different SLICs, as long as OEMID remains the same, as in the case of SLP 2.0 and SLP 2.1, although Windows Marker has changed due to different OEMTableID.
The trick is to have BIOS modded to include the SLIC 2.1. The SLIC 2.1 can be modded into BIOS physically (hardmod or biosmod) or been emulated or simulated during Windows boots up (softmod). Various SLIC 2.1 BIN has been retrieved from various notebook computer that shipped with new SLIC 2.1 in BIOS to support the free Windows 7 Upgrade Option from Windows Vista. If you just bought a new PC, it’s possible to check if SLIC 2.1 exists in BIOS. The information can be used to mod the BIOS. If you’re not technically know-how, it’s possible to request for BIOS mod assistant, or wait for Windows 7 Loader or WoW7.
Last but not least (which makes no activation crack works properly so far) is OEM-SLP product key for Windows 7. So far no OEM-SLP product key required to activate Windows 7 as OEM offline instant activation been leaked yet as no machine has been officially ship in Windows 7 by OEM, until now.
The extracted Windows 7 Ultimate OEM-SLP product key, 22TKD-F8XX6-YG69F-9M66D-PMJBM, can be used to activate installed Windows 7 Ultimate system, which BIOS has a valid OEM SLIC 2.1, and corresponding OEM cert, even if it’s OEM cert meant for Windows Vista. Best news is that, the product key appears to be a master OEM-SLP product key for Windows 7 Ultimate, which able to activate many OEM brands, such as HP, Dell, MSI and Lenovo. Checkout the discussion at Windows 7 forums.
Tip: It doesn’t matter if you have download and install Windows 7 RTM retail version ISO or Windows 7 RTM OEM version ISO. Just use the following commands to convert to OEM version:
slmgr.vbs -ilc OEM.XRM-MS (where OEM.XRM-MS is a valid OEM cert matching
with SLIC 2.1 in BIOS)
slmgr -ipk 22TKD-F8XX6-YG69F-9M66D-PMJBM
Both 32-bit and 64-bit (x86 and x64) Windows 7 Ultimate system should and can be activated immediately. For Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Home Basic, and Windows 7 Starter, the OEM-SLP keys haven’t been leaked, thus can’t be OEM-activated yet. It’s expected that various Windows 7 activators, Windows 7 activation toolkits, Windows 7 Loaders and etc are expected to be released by various hackers soon. However, Microsoft may decide to block and blacklist this leaked master OEM-SLP product key. If true, other OEM-SLP keys from actual machine shipped from OEM has to be retrieved.
Microsoft are getting OWNED, there's tons
of various cracks for Vista now :D
Here's the method for the lazy people, or incase the site gets the digg
'effect':
1. Install Windows Vista Ultimate edition (or other edition) without product
key.
2. Windows Vista needs to be applied with 2099-ReArm trick, so that the counter
of minutes to no activation required period will not return to normal after
reboot. Click on Start Orb button.
3. Select “All Programs”, then “Accessories”.
4. Right click on “Command Prompt, then select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
5. If User Account Control (UAC) prompt a warning message, click on “Continue”.
6. In the command prompt, type date and press Enter. You will see the
following:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:Windowssystem32>date
Current date: 12/19/2006 Thursday
Enter new date:
7. Enter 12/31/2099 (December 31, 2099).
8. Next, type cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm. You will see something like the
following:
C:Windowssystem32>cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
The command completed successfully.
To make the change effectively, please restart the system.
9. Then reset the date of the system to current date again by typing date
again. You will see the following:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:Windowssystem32>date
Current date: 12/31/2099 Thursday
Enter new date:
10. Type in current date, i.e. 12/19/2006.
11. Exit from command prompt, but do not restart the computer.
12. Download StopTimer.zip, StopTimer.zip or StopTimer.zip.
13. Extract the downloaded archive file into a folder. It should contains
“Vista test crack.exe” and “timerstop.sys”.
14. Execute or run the “Vista test crack.exe” by right click on “Vista test
crack.exe”, and select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
15. Optional: Press in Test button, and it will pop up a message says 4 timers
are stopped. At this time, the counter should be freezed, Check with slmgr.vbs
-dlv command, with the minutes left should be the same after a few minutes
interval. If it’s the case, continue with the following steps to run the crack
every startup.
16. In the Vista test crack window, click on “Install” button. You will be
prompted with “Service installed” message if everything is done properly and
correctly. The crack will copy the patched stoptimer.sys to system folder and
install a new service named “timerstop” to stop kernel-mode timers in spsys.sys
system file.
17. Exit from the crack, and restart the computer.
18. The hacking is basically done. Next few steps to to verify that the
activation grace period built-in countdown timer is actually stopped and
disable the timers from working properly, and make sure that the crack is
installed properly. After restart, log on to Windows Vista. Run for a few
minutes.
19. Press on Windows + R keys.
20. Type slmgr.vbs -dlv to check the time left to activate Windows Vista. If
the time left is 43200 minutes that’s mean the crack is successful.
With the crack, you will have the following in the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ServicesTimerStop]
“Type”=dword:00000001
“Start”=dword:00000002
“ErrorControl”=dword:00000000
“ImagePath”=hex(2):5c,00,3f,00,3f,00,5c,00,45,00,3a,00,5c,00,57,00,69,00,6e,00,
64,00,6f,00,77,00,73,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,
00,5c,00,54,00,69,00,6d,00,65,00,72,00,53,00,74,00,6f,00,70,00,2e,00,73,00,
79,00,73,00,00,00
“DisplayName”=”TimerStop”
Further information:
* The TimerStop vista test crack works on all 32-bit x86 Windows Vista edition
such as Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium. Success rate in 64-bit (x64)
environment is likely to be low.
* The crack will make the time left to activate Vista to become always 43200
minutes (30 days), and will not countdown or reduce.
* It’s possible to access Windows Update if you install Windows Vista with
default product key (no product key entered when installation).
* During the first 3 days of activation grace period after installing Windows
Vista, Microsoft has designed it in such a way that Vista will allow greatest
flexibility for users to install required drivers and application during this
period, so Vista won’t prompt any reminder message for activation. After crack,
Vista OS will always run with 30 days left for activation, thus there will not
be any watermark or reminder to activate.
* It’s possible to pass Windows Vista Genuine Advantage (WVGA) validation, so
users able to download Microsoft value-added software for genuine customers.
* As mentioned above, as Vista will also remain in first 3 days of activation
grace period, in theory, Microsoft will not be able to differentiate who is the
newly installed system, or who is the ‘patched’ system, unless of course, they
check for the specific file or system (privacy anyone?).
* Users can only view that there is 30 more days for system to be activated in
the system properties, but it won’t affect system usage or installation method.
