Microsoft CD Keys, CD Key Generator, Genuine Advantage Validation
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 XPI 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:
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 StudentsIt 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 AdvantageIn 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 GeneratorSomeone 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:
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:
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:
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
This key has been used successfully with:
If that one doesn't work for you, try this: 8090-3192571
This key has been used successfully with:
Please send me an E-mail([email protected] .name,take out the space)if you find other CD's that it works with. And thanks to the people who have helpedkeep me informed of what CD's require what key.The format for the nnnn-nnnnnnn.The first four digits seem to make a difference, but even versus odd totals arerumored to indicate an OEM versus upgrade CD (this hasn't been worked out).The last seven digits still must add up to a multiple of seven, but certaincombinations like all ones and anything ending with a zero are disallowed.4157-7777777 seems to work and is easier to type. Windows 98If your computer came with Windows 98 (i.e. you did not upgrade yourcomputer to Windows 98), you may need to use an OEM number which youfind via this link. With Windows 98, MS seems to have gone crazy with thelength of the CD Key or Product Key. There see to only be about threecommon families of CD keys, OEM, full retail, and upgrade retail.The main thing seems to be just using a CD key from the same family.Two less common families are corporate (which can sometimes bypassthe mandatory registration process) and academic.
Windows 98 Second Edition keys are broken out in a separate section below.
Some Windows 98 CD Keys you can try are:
Windows 98 Second Edition Upgrade CD Key that should bypass the requirement tohave Win95 installed:
Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) CD Keys you can try are:
A most kind person sent me a load of other Windows OS keys. I will presentthem all in a separate page for you to look throughif none of the above worked.
As a last resort, one person called Microsoft at 1-800-652-2342when no keys worked with his version of Windows 98. They then promptlylooked up a working key for his computer and sent a CD key to himdirectly via E-Mail (with no hassles).
99 CD's have gone back to the shorter CD Key, but theyhave different formats from the older keys. Try these: 425-1958694
This key is from MS Money 99.Both this key and the followinghave been used with Visual Studio 6 Professional Edition. The above key has been used with Visual Basic 6 Fundamentals.
813-1283563
This key is from MS Works 99.
A Serial Number for Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Edition is:
82891-81458-26914-54736This serial number is also supposed to work with Visual C++, FoxPro,J++, ... as the Product ID for the 6.0 Professional Edition.
A CD Key for Publisher 98:
21897-00233844-96848
A CD Key for Office 2000 and Office 10 beta is:
MP4F9-W6C8V-HTCCT-T7M7R-Y7K3Ywith product ID of: 82503-711-0000007-67584 Rumorhas it that the 711-0000007 is the only part that matters and it must meetthe old nnn-nnnnnn requirements. Also, if the CD Key does not work for you,it has been reported that you can edit the product ID in the registry tomatch the one shown here and then the CD Key will be accepted (I haven'ttried this as I don't have Office 2000).
CDs Key for Office 2000 are:

With Office 2000 SR1 Microsoft has added a wrinkle of limitingyou to 48 uses after you enter the CD key until you register. Once youregister you get back another CD Code that you have to enter with theCD Key (how many numbers do you have to type in correctly to be qualifiedto use Office 2000). Further, this CD Code changes with each installation(can't be reused over and over again on multiple PC's). Any ideas onhow to simplify this installation process would be appreciated.
Also, if you install the service pack for Office 2000, it will tryto register with Microsoft and the program will stop working if youdon't have an unused CD Key. XPKey.exe (above) might be able togive you a key that works or, if you are running under WindowsXP, you might be able to back out the service pack by doing aSystem Restore (file accessories system tools system restore)to the point before the installation of the service pack.
Another approach is to call Microsoft on one of their 800numbers any time you run into this glitch (and again assuming youare doing a legal reinstallation of your software). That way theyhave to pay (for the long distance charges) for your inconvenience.If it gets too expensive, they may give up on trying to forceeveryone to register every single installation (and reinstallation).
A CD Key for Works 4.5a OEM version is:
11111-11111-11111-11111-11111This was just tried as a guess and worked. I would be interested if itworked for any other MS applications.

If you get stuck with the mandatory registration problem, you canalways call Microsoft at 1-800-652-2342. If you have a reasonable storythey will sometimes give you a new key to use. It takes time to getthrough, but at least it is at Microsoft's expense (as they are theones who initiated the silly mandatory registration it is good thatthey bear some of the expense).
Windows 2000 Serial Key
I found another program, KeyChang.exe,that should be able to change your Windows XP key to one generated byXPKey.exeand then activate your version without really contacting Microsoft.First run XPKey as described earlier and get a couple of keys.Then run 'KeyChang.exe' and folllow the directions. When asked forthe CD Key, enter one of the keys you generated previously.Once you reboot the system all should be changed and you will have aunique CD key that should allow you to download the Windows XP SP1 update.Let me know how it works for you.
NOTE: The program 'KeyChang.exe' has a warning note which statesyou must have a Windows Installation CD available when changing the CD Key,however I have never had to use one so you should be OK even if you don'thave the CD handy.
Microsoft is concerned about the use of corporate CD keys to avoidactivation. There is a most informative web page by labmice.techtarget.com for what to dowith Service Pack 1 of Windows XP which blocks out certain commonly usedcorporate CD keys. However, this page was pulled for a while at therequest of Microsoft. In case you can't access it now, I made anexcerpt of this page so you can see thesort of useful information that Microsoft finds objectionable.
If when upgrading, you get GetIUMS problems with msdart.dll, just download MDAC 2.8 from windows.com and install it. Then your problemsshould go away.
