Permanently Activate Windows Vista by Skip Activation with Patched TimerStop.sys Crack

 

Hackers are going all out to crack Windows Vista activation procedure which is enhanced by Software Protection Platform (SPP). Until now, Microsoft has an upper hand, with no permanent or foolproof ways to crack or bypass Windows Vista activation request emerged. Instead, various workarounds and tricks to bypass, skip, delay, disable or spoof Vista activation has been suggestion, to various degree of success, such as extend evaluation period, rearm method, install Vista in future year, ‘frankenbuild’ Vista by replacing RTM build WPA files with RC build files, activate against spoofed KMS server, or run and activate Vista with own local KMS server and etc. Now, there is new crack method that able to permanently stop the countdown timer of time left to activate Windows Vista, effectively running Vista OS in full functionality evaluation mode forever.

1. Install Windows Vista Ultimate edition (or other edition) without product key, if possible in year 2099.
2. You may need to disconnect from Internet while applying the patch. If you disconnect Internet, connect to Internet until right before you verify the Vista crack with “slmgr -dlv” command.
3. Windows Vista needs to be applied with 2099-ReArm trick, so that the counter of minutes to no activation required period will not return to normal after reboot. Try the following normal procedures to rearm Vista at 2099. If it’s not working, you may need to apply Vista ReArm Unlimited Patch to ensure Windows Vista back to initial activation grace period.
4. Click on Start Orb button.
5. Select “All Programs”, then “Accessories”.
6. Right click on “Command Prompt, then select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
7. If User Account Control (UAC) prompt a warning message, click on “Continue”.
8. In the command prompt, type date and press Enter. You will see the following:Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
   Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

   C:\Windows\system32>date
   Current date: 12/19/2006 Thursday
   Enter new date:

9. Enter 12/31/2099 (December 31, 2099).
10. Next, type cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm. You will see something like the following:C:\Windows\system32>cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm
    Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

    The command completed successfully.
    To make the change effectively, please restart the system.

11. Then reset the date of the system to current date again by typing date again. You will see the following:Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
    Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

    C:\Windows\system32>date
    Current date: 12/31/2099 Thursday
    Enter new date:

12. Type in current date, i.e. 12/19/2006.
13. Above time changing process to ‘fix’ Vista is done from within Windows itself for easy access. However, if you have any problem, reboot to BIOS and change the date and year from there.
14. Exit from command prompt, but do not restart the computer.
15. Download StopTimer.zip or vista_test_crack.zip (both is same).
16. Extract the downloaded archive file into a folder. It should contains “Vista test crack.exe” and “timerstop.sys”.
17. Execute or run the “Vista test crack.exe” by right click on “Vista test crack.exe”, and select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
18. Optional: Press in Test button, and it will pop up a message says 4 timers are stopped. At this time, the counter should be freezed, Check with slmgr.vbs -dlv command, with the minutes left should be the same after a few minutes interval. If it’s the case, continue with the following steps to run the crack every startup.
19. In the Vista test crack window, click on “Install” button. You will be prompted with “Service installed” message if everything is done properly and correctly. The crack will copy the patched stoptimer.sys to system folder and install a new service named “timerstop” to stop kernel-mode timers in spsys.sys system file.
20. Exit from the crack, and restart the computer.
21. The hacking is basically done. Next few steps to to verify that the activation grace period built-in countdown timer is actually stopped and disable the timers from working properly, and make sure that the crack is installed properly. After restart, log on to Windows Vista. Run for a few minutes.
22. Press on Windows + R keys.
23. Type slmgr.vbs -dlv to check the time left to activate Windows Vista. If the time left is 43200 minutes that’s mean the crack is successful.

With the crack, you will have the following in the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\TimerStop]
“Type”=dword:00000001
“Start”=dword:00000002
“ErrorControl”=dword:00000000
“ImagePath”=hex(2):5c,00,3f,00,3f,00,5c,00,45,00,3a,00,5c,00,57,00,69,00,6e,00,\
64,00,6f,00,77,00,73,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,\
00,5c,00,54,00,69,00,6d,00,65,00,72,00,53,00,74,00,6f,00,70,00,2e,00,73,00,\
79,00,73,00,00,00
“DisplayName”=”TimerStop”

Update: There are now automated Vista activation crack tools that apply the above patching steps automatically, namely TimerLock (more realiable), TimeStop which apply TimerStop.sys and TimerStop64.sys v2a.

Further information:

• The TimerStop vista test crack works on all 32-bit x86 Windows Vista edition such as Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium. Success rate in 64-bit (x64) environment is likely to be low.
• The crack will make the time left to activate Vista to become always 43200 minutes (30 days), and will not countdown or reduce.
• It’s possible to access Windows Update if you install Windows Vista with default product key (no product key entered when installation).
• During the first 3 days of activation grace period after installing Windows Vista, Microsoft has designed it in such a way that Vista will allow greatest flexibility for users to install required drivers and application during this period, so Vista won’t prompt any reminder message for activation. After crack, Vista OS will always run with 30 days left for activation, thus there will not be any watermark or reminder to activate.
• It’s possible to pass Windows Vista Genuine Advantage (WVGA) validation, so users able to download Microsoft value-added software for genuine customers.
• As mentioned above, as Vista will also remain in first 3 days of activation grace period, in theory, Microsoft will not be able to differentiate who is the newly installed system, or who is the ‘patched’ system, unless of course, they check for the specific file or system (privacy anyone?).
• Users can only view that there is 30 more days for system to be activated in the system properties, but it won’t affect system usage or installation method.

Note: This timer stop + Vista ReArm method is exactly the same with Vista RTM Timer Stopper Crack cloned and copied by other sites.

If you facing problem that the activation countdown timer continue to countdown, or keep reducing after an Automatic Updates, check out the solution to unstoppable timer. On the other hand, if you having problem with KB929391 Windows Vista Validation Updates, visit ways to remove or uninstall the Vista validation tool.

Hack to Activate Windows Vista with VLK Product Key with Patched KMS Server

 

Microsoft has implemented an upgraded and more secured version of volume activation technology version 2.0 for corporate customers who use volume license key (VLK) to activate the Windows Vista or Windows Server ‘Longhorn’ installed. Volume Activation 2.0 features Key Management Service (KMS) server or host that contains KMS key that supplies to Windows Vista clients that connect to the KMS server and activate the clients or renew the activation once every 180 days. This ability make the life of system administrators easy, but also open the door for piracy with fake, patch or open KMS server used to activate Windows Vista machine over the public Internet.
Windows Connected reported that rogue KMS servers has appeared on the Internet, together with information and step-by-step instruction guide on how to activate a copy of Windows Vista VL (volume license) against the server. Once activated your illegal copy of Windows Vista will be good for 180 days before it needs to talk to the KMS server again.

Tutorial and step-by-step guide to activate Windows Vista with KMS host hack/trick:

1. Install Windows Vista Business Edition (the KMS server is meant for corporate users so it can activate Windows Vista Business or Enterprise edition) by using default volume license (VL) product key for Vista Business retail edition (i.e. YFKBB-PQJJV-G996G-VWGXY-2V3X8), do not leave the field without using any serial key or skip input of volume license product key.
2. When Windows installation and setup complete, setup Internet access.
3. Right click on Command Prompt icon and select “Run as Admin” to launch the Command Prompt with Administrative privilege.
4. In the Command Prompt window, type the following commands:

   cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -skms kms.vbs.net.cn

   You will see:

   Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
   Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

   Key Management Service machine name set to kms.vbs.net.cn successfully

   cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -ato

   The commands will activate Windows Vista Edition against kms.vbs.net.cn KMS server (setup by individual user which availability and reliability are not certain, another alternative KMS host is vbs.net.cn). It’s a private KMS server for Volume License 2.0a activation but have been setup by individual and released to public Internet usage.

5. If there is error, disable the Windows Vista’s firewall, or check out this page for possible resolution.
6. To check the activation status, use the following command:

   cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs -dlv

   If successful activation, you will see screen like this:

   Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
   Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

   Software licensing service version: 6.0.6000.16386

   Name: Windows(TM) Vista, Business edition
   Description: Windows Operating System – Vista, VOLUME_KMSCLIENT channel
   Activation ID: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   Application ID: xxxxxxxxxxxx
   Extended PID: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
   Installation ID: xxxxxxxxxx
   Partial Product Key: 2V3X8
   License Status: Licensed

   Volume activation expiration: 259193 minute(s) (179 day(s))

   Key Management Service client information

   Client Machine ID (CMID): xxxxxxxxxxx
   Registered KMS machine name: kms.vbs.net.cn:1688
   KMS machine extended PID: xxxxxxxxx
   Activation interval: 120 minutes
   Renewal interval: 10080 minutes

After the VLK is verified in KMS host, the Windows Vista client will be activated and can be used for 180 days, and requires re-activation once every 180 days. If after the activation expires, and the client doesn’t activate again in 30 days grace period, Windows Vista will go into reduced functionality mode. Beside, Windows Vista Ultimate edition is unable to activated by this way.

Another problem is whether there is any open public KMS servers around on the Internet for activation, as using KMS server in the public domain is illegal. As most public KMS servers are setup by individual users who may need 25 clients to activate his or her own copy of Vista, so the availability of the public Internet KMS host is very uncertain. The fact is that many KMS servers have came and taken down such as peterpwq.vicp.net:1688, sito.kmip.net, binbin.xicp.net:1688, 220.133.135.222 and 59.39.163.239:1688 (1688 is the default port for KMS activation, and can be skipped). However, you can setup and create your own KMS server (if you don’t have extra computer, VMWare or Virtual PC virtual machine can be used) and invite others to activate the Windows Vista together by using that KMS host, as KMS server requires at least 25 computers in order to start activating any of the Vista machines.

Differences and Advantages Between 32-bit (x86) VS 64-bit (x64) Windows Vista

Each editions of Windows Vista operating system is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions (x86 anx x64 are terms used by Microsoft), making 64-bit OS option now a widely available choice. And with almost all CPU processor and motherboard nowadays is x64 based which capable of running 64-bit OS, it presents hard decision to consumers to decide and pick whether 32-bit or 64-bit versions of Windows Vista is suitable choice.
Microsoft publishes KB946765 which details the main differences between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista, which mainly relate to memory accessibility, memory management, and enhanced security features, as listed in table below.

Architecture
Windows Vista, 32-bit versions
Windows Vista, 64-bit versions

System requirements
1-gigahertz (GHz) 32-bit (x86) processor or 64-bit (x64) processor,
512 MB of RAM
1-GHz 64-bit (x64) processor, 1 GB of RAM (4 GB recommended)

Memory access
A 32-bit version of Windows Vista can access up to 4 GB of RAM.
A 64-bit version of Windows Vista can access from 1 GB of RAM to more than 128 GB of RAM.

Memory access per edition
All 32-bit versions of Windows Vista can access up to 4 GB of RAM.
Windows Vista Home Basic – 8 GB of RAM
Windows Vista Home Premium – 16 GB of RAM
Windows Vista Business – 128 GB of RAM or more
Windows Vista Enterprise – 128 GB of RAM or more
Windows Vista Ultimate – 128 GB of RAM or more

DEP
32-bit versions of Windows Vista use a software-based version of DEP.
64-bit versions of Windows Vista support hardware-backed DEP.

Kernel Patch Protection (PatchGuard)
This feature is not available in 32-bit versions of Windows Vista.
This feature is available in 64-bit versions of Windows Vista. Kernel Patch Protection helps prevent a malicious program from updating the Windows Vista kernel. This feature works by helping to prevent a kernel-mode driver from extending or replacing other kernel services. Also, this feature helps prevent third-party programs from updating (patching) any part of the kernel.

Driver signing
Unsigned drivers may be used with 32-bit versions of Windows Vista.
64-bit versions of Windows Vista require that all device drivers be digitally signed by the developer.

32-bit driver support
32-bit versions of Windows Vista support 32-bit drivers that are designed for Windows Vista.
64-bit versions of Windows Vista do not support 32-bit device drivers.

16-bit program support
32-bit versions of Windows Vista support 16-bit programs, in part.
64-bit versions of Windows Vista do not support 16-bit programs.

If you value the benefits and advantages of switching and embracing 64-bit Windows Vista, here’s a few considerations to ponder before making the move to install x64 Windows Vista:

• 64-bit device drivers may not be available for one or more devices in the computer.
• Device drivers must be digitally signed.
• 32-bit device drivers are not supported.
• 32-bit programs may not be fully compatible with a 64-bit operating system.
• It may be difficult to locate programs that are written specifically for a 64-bit operating system.
• Not all hardware devices may be compatible with a 64-bit version of Windows Vista.
