Thread: Windows XP Genuine - Bypass Windows XP WGA Check manually working 100%

Please note: This method won't work on "Blocked Corporate Keys"

1. you need Windows XP Retail or Corporate versions of SP0/SP1/SP2/SP3.

2. make sure you logged in as an administrator/power user.

3. use the "Keyfinder" to change your windows key, use the "XP SP2 Keygen.exe" to generate corporate/pro keys (but these keys are not genuine but these keys can activate your windows xp retail versions.

3. goto -> "c:\windows\system32\" -> delete the file "LegitCheckControl.DLL"

4. goto "www.microsoft.com/downloads" and click to download the "Windows Defender", which needs a "Validation Required" click continue, it will ask you Install the "ActiveX control: "Windows Genuine Advantage" from "Microsoft Corporation" -> click "ok" and install "Install ActiveX Control" and follow the onscreen instructions to install the WGA component.

3. start -> Run -> c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc -> open the "hosts" file in notepad -> after the
line "127.0.0.1 localhost" add this line "127.0.0.1 mpa.one.microsoft.com" (without quotes).

4. then goto -> Run -> "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Windows Genuine Advantage\data\ -> delete the file "data.dat

5. now run MGADiag.exe it will tell you in the "Validation Status: Genuine"


In Windows XP Retail versions (not corporate) once you activated the windows you will not be able to change the CDKEY of XP.

Please follow the steps to change the xp key.


1. goto -> c:\windows\system32\ delete the file "wpa.dbl"

2. run -> regedit -> locate "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents" on the rightpane of your regedit window you will see "OOBETimer" double click to open it and modify it by adding some characters

3. now run the "keyfinder.exe" to change the xp key you will be able to change the key.

4. you can try to activate windows now.



Note :

If the key doesn't exist or has a different value means you should change the Windows OS version (It's not Corp or Retail)

Enjoy.
