The link in the description to the activation service is down.. is there a open source version of it?

Answer 1 · 2023-05-26T14:50:07.000Z

I don't think there's a website available but there is an executable that does work, I'm actually testing it as we speak and have been able to successfully generate a key for (and activate) windows xp pro sp3

The file you're looking for is named xp_activate32.exe

I'll direct you to this thread/comment

Installing XP in a VM right now and trying it!

I'm working on disassembling xp_activate32.exe with the intention of creating an open source version

So I built your repo and ran ./xpkey on a Debian Linux system & all the keys generated say "product key is invalid", do I have to edit the main.cpp with a specific product ID or something for the edition I'm installing? in this case XP Pro?

Answer 5 · 2023-05-26T18:06:57.000Z

They product keys are for Windows XP Pro VL

Let me look into why compiling on debian is throwing that error.

I was testing the changes under WSL Ubuntu but that shouldn't be an issue

I'm using a 64-bit Debian so, maybe you're using 32bit? Not sure.

Oh to be clear the tool says the key is valid, but when I enter in XP install (or after install), it says invalid product key entered..

Ooh nice... also, I'm glad I could be of help for those who have retail XP discs laying around. I happen to have a XP SP2 system builder CD that I know (without the aid of this tool) would have been unusable today because activation actually doesn't work without updating certificates in the OS itself.

Yes so I just test this on an XP Pro Volume license installer and this seems to work correctly.
A generated key does allow the XP Installation to continue - and as we know activation is not necessary for the volume license versions of XP.

Yes! I agree! - Personally, I desire creating a comprehensive tool for both creating keys and activating XP (and other versions of windows/office that use these types of keys)

Answer 11 · 2023-05-26T22:26:20.000Z

(and other versions of windows/office that use these types of keys)

Oh! Jackpot :) I was about to ask about Office 2003!

It would be nice to have a keygen that could generate keys and activation for non-VL versions Windows XP and Office 2003. I also have multiple CDs of retail / OEM versions in different languages of Office that are essentially useless because there's no possible way to active them.

Thank you for your efforts.

Answer 12 · 2023-05-26T22:56:30.000Z

I have a copy of Office 2003 small business and it would be great, i could install it again on a XP machine ^^

btw is there others Microsoft products that use the same Product key scheme as XP ? (like there was during the 95 period)

Thanks for linking this - it seems that there's a lot more math involved here to make these keygens work. This may be a bit of a stumbling block for me but I'm sure there are people that have a very good understanding of the math involved that might be able to assist

Ah okay thank you for testing - so it sounds like the activator specifically works with the NT5 product family phone activation. At this point I wouldn't know what the differences are, but thank you for testing this and reporting your results

@Neo-Desktop It might also just be that the creator didn't bother to check and hardcoded anything else apart from known values to throw that error. After all, the check digit algorithm is the same.

Answer 20 · 2023-05-27T09:40:29.000Z

Yes so I just test this on an XP Pro Volume license installer and this seems to work correctly.

I can't seem to get any key generated from this or Enderman's tool to be accepted by the installer,
I've tried the MSDN retail ISO, a VL one I found & editing setupp.ini directly.. am I missing something?

I'm using the slipstreamed SP3 x86 Professional ISO's provided by Microsoft, though I doubt that makes any difference & Enderman's tool even mentions SP3

Answer 21 · 2023-05-27T09:58:33.000Z

Okay I used the proper VL ISO and it works now

Are there chances this could be an internal keygen from Microsoft themselves? It's probably low, but most keygens have stuff like "MADE BY X-FORCE" and have ear deafening music.

@thepwrtank18

No, this tool has a whole separate dialog in Cyrillic and it breaks some best practices in the code that very likely wouldn't fly at Microsoft.

I'm fairly positive any Microsoft specific tool for generating phone activation confirmation ids would be some kind of client-server (like asp.net) webapp that integrates with the automated phone (IVR-based) activation system

Answer 25 · 2023-05-27T17:26:40.000Z

The xp_activate32.exe's timestamp is 0x5A8711DB, it's 2018/02/16 19:16:11. So, it's 5 years old already.

Maybe you can change the product key to another one and check if the ID appears. It seems like something messed up with your system. Maybe a previous attempt at cracking it?

Changed product key, nothing. All I used to "crack" was xp_activate32.exe.

Edit: It looks like changing the product key fixes the issue (gets you back in explorer), but only after a restart. From there, you have to go to msoobe /a and redo the process. After that, it's actually for real this time activated.

Answer 50 · 2023-05-28T04:56:52.000Z

Hey everyone wanted to jump in here with a few of my findings:

Steps I took:

Downloaded all XP, Server 2003, and Home Server isos from https://files.dog/MSDN/
Utilize pycdlib (https://github.com/clalancette/pycdlib ) to open each iso file and extract and files containing "pid"
Expand the compressed files ending in "_"
This effort can be found here https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlPIFTdGZCGGbSq5Ax3IXJpu33Q?e=b3ppx7
Next utilize EllipticCurveTool (from: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/elliptic-curve-product-keys.84765/page-2#post-1791162 ) to convert all the de-duplicated dll files found above into the ks2 format
These ks2 files can be found https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlPIFTdGZCGGbMOLMWysalJCmZw?e=TTGiQz
Next take all the dll files and use this (https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/resources_extract.html) to extract the BINK resources
Utilize the BINK decoder script here (https://github.com/Endermanch/XPKeygen/blob/main/BINKReader.py) to output BINK data in txt format
You can find the BINK files and the decoded data in txt format here https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlPIFTdGZCGGa1vSUlp3MnVQeK0?e=cr0qV2

I also took a stab at modifying the sage script to input the ks2 files and output the job file for Mr. HAANDI's ECDLP Solver v0.2a (can be downloaded from https://dl.malwarewatch.org/software/advanced/ecc-research-tools/ )
You can find this converter script here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlPIFTdGZCGGahta_OnkGk35f-E?e=U4XiVu
This has only been tested that it outputs numbers not that the numbers are correct :P

If you download all of the above you will have 24 BINKs to play with and find k and n values. Then it is just a matter of matching up the BINK with a specific iso.

Let me know if there are other file names I should look at or other iso directories!

Answer 51 · 2023-05-28T08:11:53.000Z

The xp_activate32.exe's timestamp is 0x5A8711DB, it's 2018/02/16 19:16:11. So, it's 5 years old already.

Not sure (it can be faked), but it has been seen on virustotal 3 yrs ago. So it is min 3 yrs old.

Answer 52 · 2023-05-28T08:19:59.000Z

It makes no sense to fake it, and there is already the source code with file dates that match with build time.

I'm still perplexed that Microsoft just made an open "hey, free Windows XP with no activation required!" and didn't put SOME protection on the Volume License versions.

Answer 56 · 2023-05-28T15:09:39.000Z

These were the times of really slow internet & completely different world
VL copy was not easy to obtain (not like now). Rather difficult to download from some place online (there were not file sharing sites, Onedrive did not exist). Even MSDN CDs were mailed to me every month in nice binders
So to obtain one, one was likely to purchase from some doggy dealer via snail mail, at ~ £10/£20 a pop
Inconvenient at least

And there were no tools to easily edit iso (delta & smartversion came also YEARS later)
And each VL key was known to belong to a company that paid big bucks for it! (or education that paid WAY less)

Answer 59 · 2023-05-28T16:56:25.000Z

my VL ISO has never required activation. LOL.

This is the idea. Volume licensing keys are created so that multiple or even many computers can use the same key without any problems. OEM keys, on the other hand, have one-to-one correspondence with the computers they've been installed onto, so they need to be "proven genuine". OEM activation has more gimmicks to it than you think, and phone activation isn't the only one.

Here it is, the mostly-complete list of Windows XP/Server 2003 keys. All of these either work with xp_activate32.exe, or don't need activation.

https://gist.github.com/thepwrtank18/4456b1a4676a26c6ef25b8e8b70e26d7

It might be possible to fill the blanks on keys if you have the pidgen.dll for that NT5 edition.

iirc a friend have a Dell Precision workstation that had come with windows XP x64, and since it's Dell it might be a OEM key (and they might still host the restore ISO on their website)

i'm gonna ask them to send me a picture of the key

Windows xp x64 retail not support

Worked on my testing. Key and ISO?

If you're using the automatic "get from system/send to system" feature, that only works on the x86 versions of Windows.

Answer 74 · 2023-06-01T07:13:47.000Z

Turns out there's a lot more derivatives of XP then I thought.

Answer 75 · 2023-06-02T17:55:01.000Z

@thepwrtank18

there's no installation ID.

Maybe you can change the product key to another one and check if the ID appears. It seems like something messed up with your system. Maybe a previous attempt at cracking it?

Changed product key, nothing. All I used to "crack" was xp_activate32.exe.
Edit: It looks like changing the product key fixes the issue (gets you back in explorer), but only after a restart. From there, you have to go to msoobe /a and redo the process. After that, it's actually for real this time activated.

Sounds like you got a "unlucky" key, I'm not entirely sure what causes it but it has been documented in various threads and on the Endermanch/XPKeygen repository

i may have another issue similar to this.
this key was generated via xpkey.exe from 2 years ago.
it is for home edition retail and causes odd behaviour.
the key is accepted during setup but during the oobe phase, it goes straight to the login screen and skips everything.
im then greeted with the same activation error that thepwrtank18 got.
but after clicking yes, the gui barely loads and the activation box wont load.
key: PP3JK-T7FB8-BGPMB-MWKQW-XXD8J
Product ID: 76477-004-0674031-21418
also, if you had already entered a product key before and you changed the product key into the one above, it will accept it until you do a restart and its brought back to the previous product key before you changed it.
this issue is replicatable.
i just wanted to bring this up if it strikes a clue or makes identifying the issue alot easier.

This was done on windows xp home edition sp3 retail, i dont know if this occurs on other service pack versions.

Same here, perfect replication of the bug.

@ward201185

This key probably exhibits strange behavior because its site code (004) is not in the allowed ranges specified by DPCDLL.DLL.

These ranges seem to have something to do with generating correct installation IDs from keys. I opened #15 to look into this further.

The allowed PID ranges for your ISO can be seen in this JSON list. Your BINK appears to be 2A, so you should use those ranges.

Just gotta deal with the weird one-off's like Home Server and stuff.

I must add that xp_activate32.exe will activate all pre-reset Longhorn builds in addition to post reset build 5048 in addition to XP and Server 2003.

Windows XP Professional RTM Retail doesnt seem to accept the confirmation ids provided by xp_activate32.exe while Windows XP Home Edition RTM Retail does.
later service pack versions of windows xp home and pro work just fine with xp_activate32.exe.
just adding this here if none of you knew.
xp_activate32.exe may need to be revised to accommodate all non-beta versions of Windows XP and Server 2003.

xp_activate32.exe may need to be revised to accommodate all versions of the NT 5.X family.

Just to clarify SP0 meaning RTM?

Having this exact same issue but this time it's with an upgrade copy of XP Home using Service Pack 1. Maybe for some reason the application doesn't work with anything older than Service Pack 2 or 3 perhaps?

You might be better to report this in the MDL topic to the actual author, rather than here ~~where people have trouble even figuring out how discrete logarithms of P and -P are related~~. Preferably with exact reproduction steps (you know, there are many variants of any version for different languages).

You know @diamondggg, I was under the impression that you were the actual author of the activation algorithm. Unfortunately it sounds like that's not the case

im not sure if there really are any upgrade editions of xp but maybe you would have a better chance of activating successfully if you had changed your product key to a non-upgrade key because xp_activate32.exe did definitely work for me on windows xp home edition sp1 retail.

maybe your specific product key is the issue.

Answer 86 · 2023-06-11T14:38:29.000Z

Does anyone have a list of Upgrade-only ISO's I can use for testing?

i just tried a key that is supposedly an upgrade key.
it still activated just fine with xp_activate32.exe even in sp1.
heres the key: C6QQT-DYQ7H-HG39T-H47FX-Q3JD2
maybe someone could try verifying it by calculating the upgrade bit in that key.

also, you might have a copy that might differ from non-upgrade versions and that version of windows might not be found anywhere.
maybe try archiving it just in case.

might also be helpful to give out your product id as well.

Answer 88 · 2023-06-11T17:31:02.000Z

Well it's a genuine copy, box, manuals and everything, Even has the upgrade label on the holographic disc and box. I wasn't really thinking much when I was doing testing for it. The key from the box is: HB49T-J3KGF-B2PM7-RM29P-CXG6F works fine with the activation hotline but once it spits out the confirmation from the xp_activate32 app and I entered it, give me an error.

Answer 89 · 2023-06-11T17:31:48.000Z

Can you copy the disc to an ISO and send it here? (You can do this via AnyBurn (free version works): https://www.anyburn.com/download.php)

i just put in your product key and tried activating via xp_activate32.exe and it worked just fine.
sounds like your installation may be different.

Answer 92 · 2023-06-11T18:39:16.000Z

Weird, guess it's the upgrade disc I have then, I'm in the process of uploading it now, just waiting through the long upload progress rn. Just kinda weird that it would be the upgrade disc that's affecting the product activation or the supposed service pack on the disc.

Answer 93 · 2023-06-11T19:12:29.000Z

i dont think the service pack has anything to do with it, i think it has something to do with the fact its an upgrade edition.
your system files might be different from the ordinary retail installation (pidgen.dll, dpcdll.dll, and etc)

Answer 94 · 2023-06-11T19:23:36.000Z

interesting, nevertheless here's the upgrade copy I imaged https://archive.org/details/xrmhccp-en_202306

Answer 95 · 2023-06-11T19:27:36.000Z

https://www.angelfire.com/comics/observer/wxpvol.htm
so it seems like upgrade edition exists for xp rtm, sp1, and sp2 but maybe not for sp3.

i used your xp iso and tried the upgrade and the clean install approach.
xp_activate32.exe still activates just fine.
are you sure you inputted the installation id correctly?

One time I think I tried the get and store from the app and manually typing it in Virtual PC 2004, the id was exactly as it was typed out. I tried again, gave me a different one and that didn't work either. I'm trying it again on virtualbox now but hopefully it wasn't any minor mistakes on my end.

Answer 99 · 2023-06-11T20:36:22.000Z

I'm testing ~~Windows 95~~, 98, 98 SE, NT 4.0, 2000, and ME to see if it works on Home and Professional, the only editions of XP that had Upgrade discs. (as usual, VMware shits the bed with 95)

Answer 100 · 2023-06-11T20:38:51.000Z

huh, putting it in virtualbox seemed to work, so sorry if I may have wasted all your time. Weird it was the right version, I think the program didn't seem to work for me in virtual pc for some reason
