Stupid question. Why would you want to reset the serial number in the first place?

Just curious.........

[odysseusky]

yeah, same question as above

[Guest shivamparikh]

is there a similar tweak to make the TRIAL versions of WindowsXP (120/180 day trial) and Windows 2003 Server (180 days trial) make them

full version or non-trial limited?

This also works for resetting your cd key on a Windows XP w/SP1 computer:

' 
' WMI Script - ChangeVLKey.vbs
'
' This script changes the product key on the computer
'
'***************************************************************************

ON ERROR RESUME NEXT


if Wscript.arguments.count<1 then
   Wscript.echo "Script can't run without VolumeProductKey argument"
   Wscript.echo "Correct usage: Cscript ChangeVLKey.vbs ABCDE-FGHIJ-KLMNO-PRSTU-WYQZX"
   Wscript.quit
end if

Dim VOL_PROD_KEY
VOL_PROD_KEY = Wscript.arguments.Item(0)
VOL_PROD_KEY = Replace(VOL_PROD_KEY,"-","") 'remove hyphens if any

for each Obj in GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}").InstancesOf ("win32_WindowsProductActivation")

   result = Obj.SetProductKey (VOL_PROD_KEY)

   if err <> 0 then
      WScript.Echo Err.Description, "0x" & Hex(Err.Number)
      Err.Clear
   end if

Next

This will reset your cd key on a Windows XP Computer WITHOUT SP1

' 
' WMI Script - ChangeVLKey.vbs
'
' This script changes the product key on the computer
'
'***************************************************************************

if Wscript.arguments.count<1 then
   Wscript.echo "Script can't run without VolumeProductKey argument"
   Wscript.echo "Correct usage: Cscript ChangeVLKey.vbs ABCDE-FGHIJ-KLMNO-PRSTU-WYQZX"
   Wscript.quit
end if

Dim VOL_PROD_KEY
VOL_PROD_KEY = Wscript.arguments.Item(0)
VOL_PROD_KEY = Replace(VOL_PROD_KEY,"-","") 'remove hyphens if any
Dim WshShell
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.RegDelete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents\OOBETimer" 'delete OOBETimer registry value
for each Obj in GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}").InstancesOf ("win32_WindowsProductActivation")

   result = Obj.SetProductKey (VOL_PROD_KEY)

   if err <> 0 then
      WScript.Echo Err.Description, "0x" & Hex(Err.Number)
      Err.Clear
   end if

for changing Microsoft Windows XP Professional you can use this :

Censored By my self ! this is warza and it seems that it is forbidden to ditribute them in this site !

Really !

Is Warza forbidden in this site ???

I'lll edit it !

don't know about the posted links, but i've got to mention sometimes msoobe.exe /a does not do anything at all.

if this is your case register "licdll.dll" again with the command "regsvr32.exe licdll.dll" then do the steps mentioned above.

after changing the key with success you can unregister the DLL with "regsvr32.exe -u licdll.dll" again.
