cumminbk Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Alright guys i have genuine windows which like us all i hate to have to call Microsoft to reactivate when i perform a fresh install of windows. But on my last install after i activated windows i copied the following registry keys... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents]"OOBETimer""LastWPAEventLogged"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion]"CurrentBuild""InstallDate""ProductId""DigitalProductId""LicenseInfo"I then imported them into a fresh install that was not activated and as soon as the keys where imported my windows was activated... it was awesome. Its seems to me a too good to be true fluke.. thoughts people? someone else try this?

skinnyjm Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 If you don't have a Royalty Customer motherboard (BIOS), then this might also work.
zedox Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 The only key you need to import is...HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents]"OOBETimer"The others make no difference.
cumminbk Posted January 5, 2007 Author Posted January 5, 2007 if it is so simple then why are there huge posts trying to resolve the issue?
