Thank you, pottzman! That explains some more of the BINK structure. I think that and XP may indeed also be using some different setup of the decoded data. I haven't had much time to look into the depths of XP yet. The fields for 0x, 0x and 0x01C also match up with what I'm observing for a Windows 98 pidgen.
I know that for regular XP, the part from which the product ID channel ID and the serial number are derived is in the front , i. For , I can't seem to make out any matching bit pattern in the decoded key yet. New discovery: What I previously marked as "version" is more likely to be an offset to where the curve parameters begin in words , relative to the first word after the BINK ID.

You can just replace the original files on your iso with the hacked ones and forget about keys and activation. Sep 7, 81 11 0. May 2, 64 As for the feasibility of breaking this A confirmation ID looks roughly something like this: The last digits of each are a checksum for each block of digits to guard against typos. Although there is no way around using WinXP, I want to minimize security risks.
EDIT1 : Since quite a few people asked, please note why in my opinion this question is not a duplicate of XP Activation and Dual Booting , please see my explanation above.
I made a thorough explanation in meta here. EDIT3 : please be aware that running an outdated OS without security updates poses security risks explained here as BurceWayne points out correctly. However in some cases it's not an option to change to a different OS, e. I found two solutions, both of them work offline, so you don't have to connect the WinXP system to a network although I have to use WinXP I try to minimize security risks :.
Calling the current MS activation number for a product still in support e. This is my preferred one since you don't have to tamper with the system. This will disable the activation requirement for good, but might cause issues although I haven't found any yet source. I managed to activate an XP license key using this link that I got off of a Microsoft support forum. I don't know how long this link will stay active, but as at posting date it still works.
The link that I posted is not on the Microsoft site, but to the best of my knowledge it is what Microsoft uses for activation. It is referred to as Microsoft's "Self Service for Mobile". This link just allows you to manually activate the the installation. So you select activate via phone option, then your XP box activation screen will give you a set of numbers.
You enter these numbers into the site and the site gives you the response numbers to enter into the XP installation that you are needing to activate. Then you click on "next" and the activation completes. So there is no way that this could contain malware or virus's because nothing is installed or run on the box that you are activating, unlike the other options listed here that involve running scripts to by-pass the activation process. I am just giving my experience here; I had a box belonging to a friend of mine that somehow got into an activation loop even though it had previously been activated for years , and I got the PC activated using the link.
And I did so by following the standard Microsoft activation screens. I also gave the link to the Microsoft forum where I found this link, but, yes, disclaimer: use at your own discretion.
After two days of trying to figure out why almost everything Internet-related was not working browsing, windows update, activation , it turns out the date was wrong and set to This apparently includes windows activation. So, try this. Due to the limit size 3. As part of the call, they provided me with an online activation link, which allowed me to activate my copy online.
After providing the link, I was instructed to hang up the call. I was able to enter the information from the activation dialog into the online form, and enter the resulting activation code into the activation dialog. This successfully activated my installation Windows XP. Presumably you could pay for a 2-minute long international call to the United States to generate your unique activation link, and then hang up and perform the rest of the activation online.
I'm not advocating piracy but the truth is, no one cares about this era antique anymore, so most likely you'll find any working solution satisfactory. In fact the last time I had to touch Windows XP was preparing for labs of an archaeological course where we're taught about assembly Intel Microprocessors , and I just applied a random solution that I found online to activate the Windows XP in my virtual machine.
In fact Windows XP uses offline activation, and its verification algorithm has long been leaked, which means anyone can generate an infinite amount of valid keys and get along with them. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
