Microsoft CD Keys, CD Key Generator, Genuine Advantage Validation

• Microsoft Windows 2000 ADVANCED SERVER S/N: RM233-2PRQQ-FR4RH-JP89H-46QYB. Microsoft Windows 2000 PROFESSIONAL WITH SP1: DDTPV-TXMX7-BBGJ9-WGY8K-B9GHM. Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit CD-KEY: TCJC7-H2QDH-3T7G7-R6RTM-YRK3Y. Windows 2000 Advanced Server: H6TWQ-TQQM8-HXJYG-D69F7-R84VM.

Apr 10, 2007  I thought the Key was in the CD and you needed that specific code/number to make it work. But, I got tired of the Windows game and now use Ubuntu Linux and there are others. Free and the software free and Linux is starting to work great, just took a few years and the devotion of people that wanted an alternative to Microbutt. Windows Server 2008 Web. Product Key: WYR28-R7TFJ-3X2YQ-YCY4H-M249D. Windows 2000 Server. Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Click the product you want to in the tab.

I am no fan of Microsoft for a lot of different reasons which I won't gothrough here. However, one of the things that I think is so insaneis the silly CD Keys that they put on the cases of the CD. Anyonewho is thorough enough to copy a CD would certainly copy the CD Key.However, the average guy who just files the CD away after a successfulinstallation may very well separate the actual CD from the CD case(which are often not clearly marked). Fortunately just aboutany Microsoft CD Key will do. So this web site is to help outpeople who have legitimately bought/received a Microsoft CD (non-OEMvariety), but have lost their CD case with the key. If you havea CD from Microsoft that you got from an OEMer (for example, it camewith your computer), follow the link to MS OEM Numbers.

Windows XP

I just recently heard that XP installation CDs have a valid CD key right onthe CD. Explore the CD and navigate to the i386 folder.Open the file UNATTEND.txt and scroll down to the last line.You will find your Windows XP Product key there. It was there on an old XP CD SP2 I had around. If you find a CD key on your installationCD, please let me know how it works out. My guess is that these keys onthe CD are best to use as there would be the same CD key for thousands ofcomputers (all the CDs which were printed with that key) so Microsoft wouldhave a hard time invalidating a CD key which is used legitimately by thousandsof computers. The CD I had has a key of 'CD87T-HFP4C-V7X7H-8VY68-W7D7M'.I wonder if that key will work for anyone else (my XP computers all havelegitimate Microsoft keys already)?

Can you help me?

I am now preparing a suit against Microsoft for misrepresenting their copyrightsunder the DMCA and so on. I also believe that their CD keys are primarily intended to defraud consumers from their legal rights to use the software (in thehope that they will lose the CD keys and have to buy another license, this timedirectly from Microsoft). So, I would like to include a class action suit ofconsumers who:

• purchased a computer with OEM licenses,
• lost their key,
• had to reinstall their software, but were blocked by Microsoft key validationsoftware, and
• either
  • purchased an additional license at a store (hence were defrauded byMicrosoft) or
  • used information on my site to permit them to reinstall their legallypurchased software

If you are a U.S. resident (preferrably of upstate New York) and can documentyour purchases as above (what a pain), please send me an email [email protected] .name(take out the space). I will need your full name and address for inclusionin the suit (as a co-plaintiff). Eventually you will need to provide mewith a signed declaration that you purchased the computer and the other thingsabove (I will write up the declaration for you) as wellas documentation of your purchases. Thanks for any help you can provide.This web page is now located at its 139th home, so itseems to bother the people at Microsoft. My reading of the law is thatthere is nothing illegal contained in it (as CD keys are neithercopyrighted nor trademarked), but that doesn't keep them from complainingto our current host and getting the pages deleted. I was able toget a copy of a previous host's originalcomplaint (they got another one later and booted me).They also got the DNS (domain name) for our friends atwww.wampa.netpulled until they stopped providing a permanent link to this page. Sigh!It would be best to bookmark the link is http://brian.carr.name/. That pagehas a button along the top that will take you to the current server. Whata bother, but it keeps the information accessible.

If you have a partially or fully functioning system, youcan visit:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html,http://www.skaro.net/cd-keyreader/, orhttp://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml
to get the current keys you are using (so that you will havethem if you need them later). Right now that seems theeasiest way to go with the pitfalls that MS is makingfor us.

High School and University Students

It looks like Microsoft has opened up free versions of Visual Studio 2008,Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008, and Virtual PC via download for students.They do have a verification program (which is understandable) so I can't sayhow well it works. Check out the full list at https://www.dreamspark.com/. Good luck.

Genuine Advantage

In 2005 Microsoft started introducing a new program to trip users up, GenuineAdvantage. It appears that Genuine Advantage is somewhat of a misnomer as the only useful thing it does is generate more revenue for Microsoft. For now thebest way to avoid this 'license checker' is to never agree to the EULA that goeswith it (for now watch for the title Genuine Advantage, but be cautious of anyprogram that requires a new EULA). Given its very negative value to the customer, Microsoft insists thatyou agree to their terms in an agreement before installing it. If you don't agreeit even gives you the option of never being asked again about it. Sadly thisis only after the fact advice. I have heard that you can roll back your systemto the previous state before the last set of updates and remove it.

With the latest version of Windowns Update, you can't get normal updateswithout verifying your license. However, you still get the security updates (which is good as Windows is likeswiss cheese (full of holes) for viruses), but you can't get the latest enhancements (which is also good as you hardly need new bugs and holes for virusesto exploit). For example, you won't be able to get Internet Explorer (IE) 7, butyou probably shouldn't be running IE or Outlook anyway. Those are the two bestways to get viruses. Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird are each quite nice andnot nearly as virus prone as their Microsoft equivalents (and they are free).

Microsoft published a procedure that removes the pre-release verions ofGenuine Advantage at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921914.For your convenience I have included the excerpt that worked for me (I have twosystems which have Windows XP installed and two certificates of authenticity,but only one was installed with the 'correct' key for the CD I was using at the time). If you need to change your CD key as Genuine Advantage doesn't like yourcurrent one, visit http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how_do_i_change_the_windows_xp_p.htmfor a description of how to change a bad key to a good one.

I have two systems that have Windows XP installed (along with other OSes of course)and one had been installed with a generated key (though I have two licenses for XP).When they switched to the real Genuine Advantage I was able to give in my realCD key (from the certificates) and stop the annoying messages. However, now I can'ttest methods to get around their license checks (they don't tell you how togo back to the old 'bad' key). Drats. On KexNew.com there is a package by Matt(no last name, I wonder why) which gets you around WGA (or Windows Genuine Advantage)checking. You can get it atprograms/WPPerm_v1.0.zip. If that linkdoesn't work for you, you can try http://rapidshare.com/files/364292565/WPPerm_v10.zip.

It is reallyfive files. Opening it will show you the five files and you should open thefile WP_Readme.txt. It explains what to do with the four other files. It mentionsthat it works with pirated copies of Windows XP and Office, but it will also work witha legally purchased copy of Windows XP and Office in case you have lost the legal key(this page does not encourage pirating software). Please try it out and let me know how it works for you. I have checked it for viruses and trojans, but weall need to be careful....

There is a new procedure for getting around Genuine Advantage withWindows XP SP3 which is a little cleaner than past approached. You can try itat:programs/Antiwpa3.zip.I am happy with SP2 and haven't tried it, so please let me know how it works foryou. Thanks.

I have a linkto a manual procedure for getting around activation. It also includeda link to http://rapidshare.com/files/84965644/patch.zip.htmlwhich does the update for you.

Vista and Genuine Advantage checks.

There seems to be a procedure for getting around the activation and check inprocedures for Vista. You can find it (for now) at:http://www.haklabs.com/2007/bypass-vista-activation-with-paradox.I haven't been able to try it as I am avoiding Vista (I seem to be such a Luddite). Please let me know how it works for you and I can update these pages.

Windows Activation

With the advent of MS Office 2000 SR1 and all the XP and 2002releases, MS seems to have gone the route of mandatory registrationwhich makes reinstallations and such really difficult when you losethe old key. There is a program that seems to be able to test if a keymeets the MS requirements and can also generate keys at random untilit finds one that should work. It supports for Windows XP, Office XPand Visio XP called XPKey.exe.

There are new generations of key generators for Windows XPand Office which run faster and can generate SP1 and SP2 acceptablekeys. I don't have any Windows XP SP1 CD's or MS Office (I run OpenOffice which is free, open source (so it should be available for a while), handles MS format files, and works pretty well (you can download from http://openoffice.org)), so I can't test the new features.If the standard XPKey.exe doesn't work for you, tryXPKeySP2.exe.

Recently (end of 2007) virus scanners have been flagging and deleting XPKeySP2.exe.They seem to think it is a trojan, but I have had my copy for over ten years andno one has reported it trying to get beyond firewalls. I am considering contactingMcAfee and asking them to really check it (the error they give is that it lookslike a generic trojan which is to say it was built with tools commonly used byhackers). If you learn anything more about this, please send it on to me. Thanks.

From what I have heard it cangenerate keys for both the older and newer versions of WindowsXP and is much faster. XPKeySP2.exe also generates keys forOffice XP (and these are reported to work with Office 2003, even home edition) and Windows Server 2003 keys. However, to generate SP2 keys for corporate (VLK) licenses, you need to specify the range of640-500000 to 640-599999. Please let me know how it works for youat [email protected] .name(take out the space).There is also a nicer program to activate your Windows XPinstallation without contacting Microsoft, KeyChng2.exe.

There is also a procedure to get past activation for XP as described athttp://www.ehow.com/how_6317305_activate-windows-xp-key.html.It did not work for one person, please let me know how it works for you.

Office 2007 Key Generator

Someone sent me a key generator that might be for Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007.You can try it at programs/MSO2k7_kg.zip.Just press the 'search' button and it will generate a key. The author is workingon an addition to activate Vista, but that doesn't work yet. Please let me know how these work for you as I don't have Office 2007 so can't really test it.I myself have switched to OpenOffice as it is open source and free. It canread and write MS formatted files and works quite nicely (I use it at home and prefer it to MS Office which I use at work). You can get it at:http://openopenoffice.org.

Traditional CD Keys

Another person sent me a procedure for getting around theneed for a CD key with Win 98 and Win ME. Here are the instructions as they were sent to me. If theyare useful to you let me know. If you can make them clearer,send a new version back to me. They also tell you where theCD Key and product ID are kept in the registry so that youcan look them up with an existing installation.

If you want to make up your own key of the form nnn-nnnnnnn,it seems that the first three digits can be any number you likewhile the last seven digits must add up to a multiple of seven.A really boring (but easy to type key) is:

111-1111111

This key has been used successfully with:

• BackOffice 4.5 (Beta 2)
• Flight Simulator 98 (OEM)
• Football
• Liquid Motion 1.0
• Monster Truck Madness
• Office 97 Pro
• Plus! 98
• Publisher 98
• SQL Server Enterprise Edition
• Visual C++ 6.0 Standard Edition
• Visual Studio 6 (Enterprise and Pro) and 97
• Windows NT
• Word 97

I have also read that if you take an upgrade CD key andadd one to the first set of numbers (whether three or four digit)then the CD key will be for the full edition.

If that didn't work, try this:

465-6389583

I am not sure what CD this is from, but I am compiling a list ofall Microsoft applications that this CD Key works with. Itseems to have been the standard with older CD's (95 thru 97).This key has been used successfully with:

• Exchange 5.5
• Flight Simulator 95
• Monster Truck Madness
• Office 98 for MacIntosh
• Office 2001 for MacIntosh
• Publisher 97
• Publisher 98 (with 0465 in first block)
• Sidewinder Game Pad CD
• Visual Basic 4.0 Enterprise
• Visual Basic 6.0a Professional Edition
• Visual C++ 4.0 and 5.0
• Visual C++ 4.0 Professional
• Visual C++ 5.0 Professional Edition
• Visual C++ 6.0 Pro
• Visual Studio 97
• Windows NT 4.0 Workstation
• Windows 95/98 Plus!
• Windows 95 Upgrade
• Windows 98 Beta 3
• Works 4.5

If you are installing an OEM CD on a PC with an existing copy of Windows,you can sometimes get around the complaint that you it only works on newPC's by deleting or renaming the file 'c:windowswin.com'. Likewise,if you have an upgrade CD and it doesn't see the version of Windows thatyou need, often by just copying that file from an exisiting installation(or CD or diskette, wherever you can find it) will satisfy the installationprogram (pressing F8 will give you options on boot).

Please send me an E-mail ([email protected] .name, takeout the space)if you find other CD's that it works with.

98 CD's seem to require a longer CD Key (extra digit). If youneed four digits for the first section, try:

7777-7777777

This key has been used successfully with:

• MS Exchange Server 5.0 and 5.5.

If you find another CD that this CD key works with, please let me knowwhich CD at [email protected] .name(take out the space).

So if the CD Key above did not work, try this:

1112-1111111
