How to Make Windows XP Genuine and Activate for Free?

First Method

1:- Open NotePad from Start Menu and paste the following code in your notepad program.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersion]
“CurrentBuild”=”1.511.1 () (Obsolete data – do not use)”
“ProductId”=”55274-640-1011873-23081″
“DigitalProductId”=hex:a4,00,00,00,03,00,00,00,35,35,32,37,34,2d,36,34,30,2d,
31,30,31,31,38,37,33,2d,32,33,30,38,31,00,2e,00,00,00,41,32,32,2d,30,30,30,
30,31,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,86,56,4e,4c,21,1b,2b,6a,a3,78,8e,8f,98,5c,00,00,
00,00,00,00,dd,da,47,41,cc,6b,06,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,38,31,30,32,36,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,b5,16,
00,00,83,83,1f,38,f8,01,00,00,f5,1c,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,66,e5,70,f3
“LicenseInfo”=hex:33,b7,21,c1,e5,e7,cd,4b,fd,7c,c6,35,51,fd,52,57,17,86,3e,18,
d3,f4,8c,8e,35,32,7b,d1,43,8d,61,38,60,a4,ca,55,c9,9a,35,17,46,7a,4f,91,fc,
4a,d9,db,64,5c,c4,e2,0f,34,f3,ea
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWPAEvents]
“OOBETimer”=hex:ff,d5,71,d6,8b,6a,8d,6f,d5,33,93,fd

2. Now save the file on the name of Genuine.reg (Make sure to save it with .reg extension.). Save the file on Desktop

3:- Close the file and go to Desktop and double click on the file you just saved. Run the file.

4:- Your Windows XP is now genuine. Restart your windows and that’s it.

Second Method

If you are not lucky and the above method is not working for you then don’t worry you can try this one.

1. Download this file

2. Extract it and Run the file.

3. Now go to genuine microsoft software and click on the button “Validate Windows”

4. Done

3rd Method

Even if the above two methods are not working for you, then try this one.

1. Click on “Start>Run” and enter regedit.

2. Navigate to the following location.

LOCAL-MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Window’s NT-Current Version-WPAEvents

3. Now click on “OOBE Timer” located at right side of the box. Delete all the values and close Regedit.

4. Now click on “Start>Run” and type the following and hit enter.

%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

5. One the next page select “Use Phone to Activate” and click on “Change Product Key”. A box will be shown where you need to enter the following Product Key.

77D6F-94376-8hGKG-VRDRQ

OR

JG28K-H9Q7X-BH6W4-3PDCQ-6XBFJ

6. Click on “Update” and then “Remember Later” option. Once you are done, Restart your PC.

7. Now the final step is to enter the below code again in “Start>Run” to make sure that your windows is genuine.

%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

Now your Windows XP is Genuine and activated. Don’t forget to read my previous article about winzip alternatives.

        Dear, change the file extension from (.txt) to .reg

        you can do this by Command Prompt or you can do this within windows. if you know how to show “known files extensions” 😉
        OR
        you can save file at c:\ (root location of primary drive.) once done then run “CMD” command
        your will be at “C:\Documents and Settings\[your profile/login name]>” with black windows
        execute following commands:
        1: cd \
        2: ren genuine.txt genuine.reg
        3: exit

        You are done here. Open “my computer” and browse to the c:\ now you will see the same file turns into Reg file appears in green cube blocks. now hit it and you will make your windows XP genuine

    It works but after I restart my comp it’s back to being ungenuine.
    I need to install Service Pack 3. After it installs, windows restarts and needs to be verified before it lets you use the computer.
    Is there any way to keep windows genuine after you restart your computer?

    i bought an asus netbook off craigslist with windows pro xp engineered to tiny xp … no problem for a good 18 months 2 years until i, at the suggestion of our office’s i/t person, since i was running out of space, transferred my virus program from avast to the msn security system — which is when the black pirate screen &c began to appear. our i/t guy put in some magic code to make my tiny xp pass tests — which indeed it did.

    however, after i transferred some programs to a card, got rid of the truncated office program (only 4 gig on the virtual harddisk) to create some room, the updates on the windows xp totally flooded my tiny excuse for a hard drive and used it all up … rendering my little asus virtually unusable

    my question — is msn deliberately flooding xp programs w/updates since they are outphasing them now?

    you have to go to the registry editor and click properties of the WPAEvents then Deny access to the SYSTEM ‘user’. then the system wont change it every time you restart.

    Thank you very much for the help. I had issues at first with the validation after restarting my computer, but followed DA’s advice went to the registry editor and denied access to the SYSTEM user.

    To do this, I followed the following procedure:
    1.) Start->Run->typed “regedit” and clicked OK.
    2.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-> SOFTWARE-> Microsoft-> Windows NT-> WPAEvents
    3.) Right click on WPAEvents-> Permissions…-> SYSTEM-> Click ‘Deny’ under ‘Full Control’

    now delete d folder ‘Wgalogon’and all its content

    My problem is unique, I am not able to access my PC. Every time I select “Resolve now” or Resolve Later”, it comes back to same screen. I lived with the annoying popup for couple of months but now I am not able to access my PC

    follow the below steps to make windows XP genuine.
    1) start > run > “regedit” (without the quotes of course)

    2) go to the key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\… NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents\OOBETimer

    …and doubleclick on it. Then change some of the value data to ANYTHING ELSE…delete some, add some letters, I don’t care…just change it!

    now close out regedit.

    3) go to start > run > “%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a” (again, dont type the quotes)

    4) the activation screen will come up, click on register over telephone, then click on CHANGE PRODUCT KEY, enter in this key: JG28K-H9Q7X-BH6W4-3PDCQ-6XBFJ.

      if I will run the regedit, it will say:
      registry edit has been disabled by administrator

      how is that?

        It means your administrator has restricted your account to change in registry settings. log in with administrator and then u will be able to change in registry

    For some reason after I change or delete that value calling the msoobe /a command still gives me “Windows is already activated. Click OK to exit.”
    Btw, it also fails the Genuine tests.

    i have liked the third method coz it has really worked for me but users should be keen about this %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a because some of us we forget to leave a space after .exe so u must leave a space otherwise things won’t work for u
    and another mistake is about the second method i have tried and failed because i couldn’t see where to validate my genuine microsoft software from i think we need to clarify that with some steps pliz thanks very much

    Hello,

    The third method worked for me in Australia. Although it did confirm activation as the last step suggested it failed to validate when Media Player 11 attempted to install.
    Another think that also happened is the license key for the antivirus AVG had to be re-entered on the first power up. So keep it handy.

    Good luck and thanks

    sadly none of the three worked for me, I@m getting desperate… Updated to SP3 on my old PC and now I’m being asked to activate Windows, while I have no idea where the code has gone to. In the second method, the link to validate doesn’t go to page with ‘Validate Now’ button. Would I need to install Windows Genuine Advantage? Would it work then? Please if you have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
