How to ACTIVATE Windows XP without any software

This is a simple but effective registry hack.

1 – Start menu/run/ type “regedit” and press enter,
this will take you to the registry editor

2 – Now follow this directory:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/WindowsNT/CurrentVersion/WPAEvents

3 – When you get to WPAEvents in the righthand column there should be “OOBETimer”
right click it and go to “modify”
Change the numbers in there to :

FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F d5 33 93 FD (this works with Windows XP Home and Pro, both 32 and 64bit versions)

4 – When you’ve entered them, right click on the file “WPAEvents” and go into “permissions”

5 – In there highlight “SYSTEM” and underneath it check the two boxes under “deny” and click “OK”

Phew thats it!!! I know it looks complicated but it’s really easy, it just requires patience.

I tried this when I used up the amount of times you can activate Windows XP, it worked a treat!

To check that Windows is activated, simply click on Start menu/All Programs/Activate Windows.

It will say “Windows is already activated”.
