A Windows XP VLK keygen made by russian youtuber Enderman.
A command line Windows XP VLK key generator. This tool allows you to generate valid Windows XP keys based on a single
raw product key, which can be random. You can also provide the amount of keys to be generated using that raw
product key.
The Raw Product Key (RPK) is supplied in a form of 9 digits XXX-YYYYYY
.

Principle of operation
We need to use a random Raw Product Key as a base to generate a Product ID in a form of AAAAA-BBB-CCCCCCS-DDEEE
.
Product ID
Digits | Meaning |
---|---|
AAAAA | OS Family constant |
BBB | Most significant 3 digits of the RPK |
CCCCCC | Least significant 6 digits of the RPK |
S | Check digit |
DD | Index of the public key used to verify the Product Key |
EEE | Random 3-digit number |
The OS Family constant AAAAA
is different for each series of Windows XP. For example, it is 76487 for SP3.
The BBB
and CCCCCC
sections essentially directly correspond to the Raw Product Key. If the RPK is XXXYYYYYY
, these two sections
will transform to XXX
and YYYYYY
respectively.
The check digit S
is picked so that the sum of all C
digits with it added makes a number divisible by 7.
The public key index DD
lets us know which public key was used to successfully verify the authenticity of our Product Key.
For example, it’s 22 for Professional keys and 23 for VLK keys.
A random number EEE
is used to generate a different Installation ID each time.
Product Key
The Product Key itself (not to confuse with the RPK) is of form FFFFF-GGGGG-HHHHH-JJJJJ-KKKKK
, encoded in Base-24 with
the alphabet BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789
to exclude any characters that can be easily confused, like I
and 1
or O
and 0
.
As per the alphabet capacity formula, the key can at most contain 114 bits of information.
Based on that calculation, we unpack the 114-bit Product Key into 4 ordered segments:
Segment | Capacity | Data |
---|---|---|
Flag | 1 bit | Reserved, always set to 0x01 * |
Serial | 30 bits | Raw Product Key (RPK) |
Hash | 28 bits | RPK hash |
Signature | 55 bits | Elliptic Curve signature for the RPK hash |
For simplicity’ sake, we’ll combine Flag
and Serial
segments into a single segment called Data
. By that logic we’ll be able to extract the RPK by
shifting Data
right and pack it back by shifting bits left.
*It’s not fully known what that bit does, but all a priori valid product keys I’ve checked had it set to 1.
Elliptic Curves
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a type of public-key
cryptographic system.
This class of systems relies on challenging «one-way» math problems —
easy to compute one way and intractable to solve the «other» way.
Sometimes these are called «trapdoor» functions — easy to fall into,
complicated to escape.[2]
ECC relies on solving equations of the form
In general, there are 2 special cases for the Elliptic Curve leveraged in cryptography — F2m and Fp.
They differ only slightly. Both curves are defined over the finite field, Fp uses a prime parameter that’s larger than 3,
F2m assumes
. Microsoft used the latter in their algorithm.
An elliptic curve over the finite field Fp consists of:
- a set of integer coordinates
, such that ;
a set of points
- .
An elliptic curve over F17 would look like this:
The curve consists of the blue points in above image. In practice the «elliptic curves»
used in cryptography are «sets of points in square matrix».
The above curve is «educational». It provides very small key length (4-5 bits).
In real world situations developers typically use curves of 256-bits or more.
Since it is a public-key cryptographic system, Microsoft
had to share the public key with their Windows XP release to check
entered product keys against.
It is stored within pidgen.dll
in a form of a BINK resource. The first set of BINK data is there to validate retail keys, the second is for the
OEM keys respectively.
In case you want to explore further, the source code of pidgen.dll
and all its functions is available within this repository, in the «pidgen» folder.
Generating valid keys
To create the CD-key generation algorithm we must compute the corresponding private key using the public key supplied with pidgen.dll
,
which means we have to reverse-solve the one-way ECC task.
Judging by the key exposed in BINK, p is a prime number with a length of 384 bits.
The computation difficulty using the most efficient Pollard’s Rho algorithm ($O(\sqrt{n})$) would be at least
,
but lucky for us,
Microsoft limited the value of the signature to 55 bits in order to
reduce the amount of matching product keys, reducing the difficulty
to a far more manageable
.
The private key was, of course, conveniently computed before us in just 6 hours on a Celeron 800 machine.
The rest of the job is done within the code of this keygen.
Known issues
- Some keys aren’t valid, but it’s generally a less common occurrence. About 2 in 3 of the keys should work.
Fixed in v1.2. Prior versions generated a valid key with an exact chance of0x40000/0x62A32
, which resulted in exactly
0.64884
, or about 65%. My «2 in 3» estimate was inconceivably accurate. - Tested only on Windows XP Professional SP3, but should work everywhere else as well.
- Server 2003 key generation not included yet.

I will add more decent reads into the bibliography in a later release.

XPKeygen
A Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 VLK key generator. This tool allows you to generate valid Windows XP keys based on the Raw Product Key, which can be random.
The Raw Product Key (RPK) is supplied in form of 9 digits XXX-YYYYYY
and is only necessary to generate a Windows XP Key.

Head over to the Releases tab and download the latest version from there.
The problem
In general, the only thing that separates us from generating valid Windows XP keys for EVERY EDITION and EVERY BUILD is the lack of respective private keys generated from their public counterparts inside pidgen.dll
. There’s no code for the elliptic curve discrete logarithm function widely available online, there’s only vague information on how to do it.
As time went on, the problem has been partially solved.
The BINK resource was not encoded in any way and the data was just sequentially written to the resource. sk00ter also fully explained the BINK format on the MDL forums.
Utilizing prior community knowledge on the subject, I wrote a BINK Reader in Python 3. The file is public in this repository, click here to view the source code.
The discrete logarithm solution is the most unexplored area of research as of May 28th, 2023. However, my friend nephacks did find that elusive tool to solve that difficult problem in the darkest corners of the internet.
It’s called ECDLP (Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem) Solver by Mr. HAANDI. Since it was extremely frustrating to find online, I did reupload it on my website. You can download the tool here.
The ReadMe file that comes with the version 0.2a of the solver is good enough by itself, so anyone with a brain will be able to set that tool up. However, it’s not open-source, so integrating it into my keygen is proven impossible.
In the ideal scenario, the keygen would ask you for a BINK-resource extracted from pidgen.dll
, which it would then unpack into the following segments:
- Public key (
pubX
;pubY
) - Generator (
genX
;genY
) - Base point (
a
;b
) - Point count
p
Knowing these segments, the keygen would bruteforce the geneator order genOrder
using Schoof’s algorithm followed by the private key privateKey
, leveraging the calculated genOrder
to use the most optimal Pollard’s Rho algorithm. There’s no doubt we can crack any private key in a matter of 20 minutes using modern computational power, provided we have the working algorithm.
Once the keygen finishes bruteforcing the correct private key, the task boils down to actually generating a key, which this keygen does.
To give you a better perspective, I can provide you with the flow of the ideal keygen. Crossed out is what my keygen implements:
- BINK resource extraction
- Bruteforce Elliptic Curve discrete logarithm solution (
genOrder
,privateKey
) - Product Key processing mechanism
- Windows XP key generation
- Windows XP key validation
- Windows Server 2003 key generation
Principle of operation
We need to use a random Raw Product Key as a base to generate a Product ID in a form of AAAAA-BBB-CCCCCCS-DDEEE
.
Product ID
Digits | Meaning |
---|---|
AAAAA | OS Family constant |
BBB | Channel ID |
CCCCCC | Sequence Number |
S | Check digit |
DD | Public key index |
EEE | Random 3-digit number |
The OS Family constant AAAAA
is different for each series of Windows XP. For example, it is 76487 for SP3.
The BBB
and CCCCCC
sections essentially encode the Raw Product Key. For example, if the first section is equal to XXX
and the second section is equal to YYYYYY
, the Raw Product Key will be encoded as XXX-YYYYYY
.
The check digit S
is picked so that the sum of all C
digits with it added makes a number divisible by 7.
The public key index DD
lets us know which public key was used to successfully verify the authenticity of our Product Key.
For example, it’s 22
for Professional keys and 23
for VLK keys.
A random number EEE
is used to generate a different Installation ID each time.
Product Key
The Product Key itself (not to confuse with the RPK) is in form FFFFF-GGGGG-HHHHH-JJJJJ-KKKKK
, encoded in Base-24 with
the alphabet BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789
to exclude any characters that can be easily confused, like I
and 1
or O
and 0
.
As per the alphabet capacity formula, the key can at most contain 114 bits of information.
$$N = \log_2(24^{25}) \approx 114$$
Based on that calculation, we unpack the 114-bit Product Key into 4 ordered segments:
Segment | Capacity | Data |
---|---|---|
Upgrade | 1 bit | Upgrade version flag |
Serial | 30 bits | Raw Product Key (RPK) |
Hash | 28 bits | RPK hash |
Signature | 55 bits | Elliptic Curve signature for the RPK hash |
For simplicity’ sake, we’ll combine Upgrade
and Serial
segments into a single segment called Data
. By that logic we’ll be able to extract the RPK by
shifting Data
right and pack it back by shifting bits left, because most a priori valid product keys I’ve checked had the Upgrade bit set to 1.
Microsoft redid their Product Key format with Windows Server 2003 to include a backend server authentication key, which was an actually secure approach to
license validation, as no one could ever make a guess on which validation algorithm they had employed on their private server. Besides adding the online
validation mechanism, they also cranked up the overall arithmetic from 384 to 512 bits, and the signature scalar to 62 bits of information.
Segment | Capacity | Data |
---|---|---|
Upgrade | 1 bit | Upgrade version flag |
Channel ID | 10 bits | The BBB part of the RPK |
Hash | 31 bits | RPK hash |
Signature | 62 bits | Elliptic Curve signature for the RPK hash |
Auth Key | 10 bits | Backend authentication value |
However, if we generated a key without the online activation in mind, we still could generate valid keys that would let us through the setup of the operating system.
And that’s exactly what the code does — it generates a random 10-bit authentication key. Nowadays it doesn’t matter at all, as activation servers are down and
Server 2003 is considered abandonware, the same way this entire project shouldn’t be considered piracy.
Elliptic Curves
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) is a type of public-key cryptographic system.
This class of systems relies on challenging «one-way» math problems — easy to compute one way and intractable to solve the «other» way.
Sometimes these are called «trapdoor» functions — easy to fall into, complicated to escape.[5]
ECC relies on solving equations of the form
$$y^2 = x^3 + ax + b$$
In general, there are 2 special cases for the Elliptic Curve leveraged in cryptography — F2m and Fp.
They differ only slightly. Both curves are defined over the finite field, Fp uses a prime parameter that’s larger than 3,
F2m assumes $p = 2m$. Microsoft used the latter in their algorithm.
An elliptic curve over the finite field Fp consists of:
- a set of integer coordinates ${x, y}$, such that $0 \le x, y < p$;
- a set of points $y^2 = x^3 + ax + b \mod p$.
An elliptic curve over F17 would look like this:
The curve consists of the blue points in above image. In practice the «elliptic curves»
used in cryptography are «sets of points in a square matrix».
The above curve is «educational». It provides very small key length (4-5 bits).
In real world situations developers typically use curves of 256-bits or more.
BINK resource
Since it is a public-key cryptographic system, Microsoft had to share the public key with their Windows XP release to check entered product keys against.
It is stored within pidgen.dll
in a form of a BINK resource. The first set of BINK data is there to validate retail keys, the second is for the
OEM keys respectively.
The structure of the BINK resource for Windows 98 and Windows XP is as follows:
Offset | Value |
---|---|
0x0000 |
BINK ID |
0x0004 |
Size of BINKEY structure in bytes (always 0x16C in practice) |
0x0008 |
Header length (always 7 in practice) |
0x000C |
Checksum |
0x0010 |
Number-encoded date — BINKEY version (always 19980206 in practice) |
0x0014 |
ECC curve order size (always 12 in practice) |
0x0018 |
Hash length (always 28 in practice) |
0x001C |
Signature length (always 55 in practice) |
0x0020 |

0x0110 |
Base Point y-coordinate Gy |
0x014C |
Public Key x-coordinate Kx |
0x0188 |
Public Key y-coordinate Ky |
Each segment is marked with a different color, the BINK header values are the same.
Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP x64 implement it differently:
Offset | Value |
---|---|
0x0000 |
BINK ID |
0x0004 |
Size of BINKEY structure in bytes |
0x0008 |
Header length (always 9 in practice) |
0x000C |
Checksum |
0x0010 |
Number-encoded date — BINKEY version (always 20020420 in practice) |
0x0014 |
ECC curve order size (always 16 in practice) |
0x0018 |
Hash length (always 31 in practice) |
0x001C |
Signature length (always 62 in practice) |
0x0020 |
Backend authentication value length (always 12 in practice) |

And here are my structure prototypes made for the BINK Reader in C:
typedef struct _EC_BYTE_POINT { CHAR x[256]; // x-coordinate of the point on the elliptic curve. CHAR y[256]; // y-coordinate of the point on the elliptic curve. } EC_BYTE_POINT; typedef struct _BINKHDR { // BINK version - not stored in the resource. ULONG32 dwVersion; // Original BINK header. ULONG32 dwID; ULONG32 dwSize; ULONG32 dwHeaderLength; ULONG32 dwChecksum; ULONG32 dwDate; ULONG32 dwKeySizeInDWORDs; ULONG32 dwHashLength; ULONG32 dwSignatureLength; // Extended BINK header. (Windows Server 2003+) ULONG32 dwAuthCodeLength; ULONG32 dwProductIDLength; } BINKHDR; typedef struct _BINKDATA { CHAR p[256]; // Finite Field order p. CHAR a[256]; // Elliptic Curve parameter a. CHAR b[256]; // Elliptic Curve parameter b. EC_BYTE_POINT G; // Base point (Generator) G. EC_BYTE_POINT K; // Public key K. } BINKDATA; typedef struct _BINKEY { BINKHDR header; BINKDATA data; } BINKEY;
In case you want to explore further, the source code of pidgen.dll
and all its functions is available within this repository, in the «pidgen» folder.
Reversing the private key
If we want to generate valid product keys for Windows XP, we must compute the corresponding private key using the public key supplied with pidgen.dll
,
which means we have to reverse-solve the one-way ECC task.
Judging by the key located in BINK, the curve order is 384 bits long in Windows XP and 512 bits long in Server 2003 / XP x64 respectively.
The computation difficulty using the most efficient Pollard’s Rho algorithm with asymptotic complexity $O(\sqrt{n})$ would be at least $O(2^{168})$ for Windows XP, and $O(2^{256})$ for Windows Server 2003, but lucky for us,
Microsoft limited the value of the signature to 55 bits in Windows XP and 62 bits in Windows Server 2003 in order to reduce the amount of matching product keys, reducing the difficulty to a far more manageable $O(2^{28})$ / $O(2^{31})$.
As mentioned before, there’s only one public tool that satisfies our current needs, which is the ECDLP solver by Mr. HAANDI.
To compute the private key, we will need to supply the tool with the public ECC values located in the BINK resource, as well as the order genOrder
of the base point G(Gx; Gy)
.
The order of the base point can be computed using SageMath.
Here’s the basic algorithm I used to reverse the Windows 98 private key:
- Compute the order of the base point using SageMath. In SageMath, execute the following commands:
E = EllipticCurve(GF(p), [0, 0, 0, a, b])
, wherep
,a
andb
are decimally represented elliptic curve parameters from the BINK resource.G = E(Gx, Gy)
, whereGx
andGy
are decimally represented base point coordinates from the BINK resource.K = E(Kx, Ky)
, whereKx
andKy
are decimally represented public key coordinates from the BINK resource.n = G.order()
,n
will be the computed order of the base point. It may take some time to compute, even on the newest builds.- Factor the order using
factor(n)
. Microsoft used prime numbers for the point orders, so if it returns the number itself, it’s completely normal. - Save the resulting factors of the order somewhere.
-K
will give you the inverse of the public key in a projective plane with coordinates(x : y : z)
. Save they
coordinate somewhere, it is required to generate a correct private key.
- Compute the private key using ECDLP Solver v0.2a.
- The tool comes with a template job
job_template.txt
and a ReadMe file. It’s necessary to understand how the tool works to use it. - Insert all public elliptic curve values from the BINK resource, except the
Ky
coordinate. To generate a correct private key, you must use the inverse coordinate-Ky
you have calculated in SageMath earlier. - Insert the factors of the base point order
n
and specify the factor count. It will very likely be1
, as Microsoft mainly uses primes for their generator orders. - Run the tool
<arch> ECDLP Solver.exe <job_name>.txt
and wait until it calculates the private keyk = %d
for you.
- The tool comes with a template job
Here’s an example of the Windows XP job job_xp.txt
that yields the correct private key for the ECDLP Solver.
GF := GF(22604814143135632990679956684344311209819952803216271952472204855524756275151440456421260165232069708317717961315241); E := EllipticCurve([GF|1,0]); G := E![10910744922206512781156913169071750153028386884676208947062808346072531411270489432930252839559606812441712224597826,19170993669917204517491618000619818679152109690172641868349612889930480365274675096509477191800826190959228181870174]; K := E![14399230353963643339712940015954061581064239835926823517419716769613937039346822269422480779920783799484349086780408,17120082747148185997450361756610881166187863099877353630300913555824935802439591336620545428308962346299700128114607]; /* FactorCount:=1; 61760995553426173 */
And the ECDLP Solver output for it:
Important note:
Be wary that I could not generate a correct Windows XP x64 key using the private key I’ve reversed, even using the Ky
coordinate instead of usual -Ky
.
For some reason, I also failed to calculate the Windows Server 2003 base point order using SageMath. I gave it 12 hours to compute on my i7-12700K, but it was still stuck calculating.
Validating / generating product keys
The rest of the job is done within the code of this keygen.
Known issues
- Some keys aren’t valid, but it’s generally a less common occurrence. About 2 in 3 of the keys should work.
Fixed in v1.2. Prior versions generated a valid key with an exact chance of0x40000/0x62A32
, which resulted in exactly
0.64884
, or about 65%. My «2 in 3» estimate was inconceivably accurate. - Tested on multiple Windows XP setups. Works on Professional x86, all service packs. Other Windows editions may not work. x64 DOES NOT WORK.
- Server 2003 key generation not included yet.
Fixed in v2.2. - Some Windows XP VLK keys tend to be «worse» than others. Some of them may trigger a broken WPA with an empty Installation ID after install.
You have the best chances generating «better» keys with theBBB
section set to640
and theCCCCCC
section not zero. - Windows Server 2003 key generation is broken. I’m not sure where to even start there. The keys don’t appear to be valid anywhere,
but the algorithm is well-documented. The implementation in my case generates about 1 in 3 «valid» keys.
Fixed in v2.3*.

Conclusion:
Windows XP Product Key is a popular operating system that Microsoft released in 2001. There are several ways to obtain a key for Windows XP. One option is to purchase a physical copy of the software from a retailer or online store.
At the time of installation or upgrade, each version of the Windows Operating System requires a unique product key. Product keys contain both numbers and letters and are 25 characters long. Windows XP product keys are written in the following format: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
In conclusion, a Windows XP product key is a unique code used to activate a copy of the operating system. It can be obtained by purchasing a physical or digital copy of the software, but it is essential to ensure that the product key is virus free and from a reliable source to avoid risks and consequences.
What is Windows XP Product Key?
Windows XP Product Key: If you’ve been using Windows for a while, you might know about something called a “product key.” But what is it exactly? Think of a product key as a secret code with numbers and letters. It’s like a special password that certain programs and systems, such as Windows XP, ask for when you’re setting them up. This code is special to each person, and it helps the people who made the software make sure everyone is using it the right way.
Back in 2001, Microsoft made the Windows XP Operating System, and lots of people liked it. Even though Microsoft doesn’t help with it anymore, many people still use it. If you want to make sure your Windows XP keeps working well, you need a “Windows XP professional product key.” These keys are like magic codes that make sure your Windows XP does what it’s supposed to.
These product keys are important for all versions of the Windows Operating System. They’re 25 characters long and look like this: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Each group of five characters has a dash between them. It’s like a secret handshake between your computer and the software. So, when you’re putting in or updating your Windows XP, make sure you have your special product key ready. It’s like having a key to a treasure chest – your digital treasure chest!
Windows XP was a really famous computer system, and lots of people still use it today. Whether you’re putting Windows XP on a brand-new computer or just trying to make it work again on one you already have, you need to know about the product key to make it all go smoothly. So, let’s talk about everything you should know about these Windows XP product keys.
Types of Windows XP Product Key
There are three main types of special codes, called product keys, for Windows XP, and each type is for different kinds of users.
First, there are retail product keys. These are for regular people who buy a boxed copy of Windows XP from a store. With a retail product key, you can activate Windows XP on one computer. The cool thing is, if you get a new computer, you can move the product key to it, as long as you take Windows XP off the old computer first.
Then, there are volume license product keys. These are for businesses or big groups that need to put Windows XP on lots of computers. They buy these special keys from Microsoft’s Volume Licensing Program. The thing about these keys is that you can’t move them around. They only work on the computers they were first bought for.
Last but not least, there are OEM product keys. These are for the companies that make new computers and put Windows XP on them before selling them. OEM product keys stick to the computer’s insides and can’t be used on a different computer. They’re usually cheaper than the retail ones but are only for the companies making the computers.

So, depending on whether you’re a regular person, a big business, or a computer-making company, there’s a specific type of product key for you. Just remember, some keys can move around, and some are stuck to one computer forever!

Activating Windows XP with a product key is easy and can be done while installing or after it’s installed. Here’s how you can do it:
- Open the Activation Wizard: When you’re installing Windows XP, the activation wizard will show up. If it doesn’t, you can find it by clicking “Start,” then “All Programs,” then “Accessories,” followed by “System Tools,” and finally clicking “Activate Windows.”
- Enter the Product Key: There’s a space where you type in the special 25-character product key. Make sure you enter all the characters exactly as they are. Click “Next” to move on.

Несмотря на то что данная операционная система появилась довольно давно, она до сих пор пользуется успехом определенных категорий пользователей. Естественно, за Windows XP уже никто не хочет платить. Проще бесплатно активировать операционную систему при помощи лицензионного ключа. Дальше мы подробно расскажем, как это правильно делается.
Активация при установке
Чаще всего данную операционную систему невозможно установить без предварительного ввода лицензионного кода активации. В первую очередь мы опишем способ, подразумевающий как раз такую ситуацию:
- Когда загрузочная флешка с Windows XP будет создана, устанавливаем накопитель в USB-порт компьютера или ноутбука, после чего приступаем к установке. На первом этапе достаточно нажать кнопку «Enter».
- Дальше принимаем лицензионное соглашение при помощи клавиши «F8» на клавиатуре.
- На следующем этапе приступаем к разметке диска. Если логические тома еще не созданы, устанавливаем раздел диска c в районе 100 Гб. Все остальное пространство оставляем под данные.
- Дальше форматируем системный раздел. Не рекомендуем использовать быструю разметку, так как в таком случае стабильность работы операционной системой будет хуже.
Внимание: тщательно убедитесь в том, что вы выбрали именно системный раздел, на котором ранее была установлена ОС. Если отформатировать другой том, все пользовательские данные будут безвозвратно утеряны!
- Дожидаемся завершения процесса форматирования.
- Дальше начнется копирование всех нужных для установки операционной системы данных. Ждем завершения процесса.
- Сразу после окончания разметки диска начнется установка Windows XP Home Edition SP Точнее, ее первый этап.
- После перезагрузки компьютера установка продолжится и нам нужно будет ввести имя ПК.
- А вот и тот самый момент, когда мы должны ввести лицензионный ключ активации. Переходим в самый конец странички и скачиваем текстовый документ с кодом. Так как автоматическая вставка здесь не работает, вручную переписываем символы, заполняя все нужные поля.
- Также нам предложат проверить правильность системного времени. Если все верно, продолжаем установку, нажав «Далее».
- Указываем имя пользователя, который будет являться администратором.
- Уже через несколько минут Windows XP будет установлена на компьютер, и мы получим полностью лицензионную операционную систему.
Активация готовой ОС
В некоторых случаях мы сталкиваемся с ситуацией, когда ОС уже установлена на компьютер и требует активации. Лицензировать Windows XP в таких случаях тоже очень просто:
- При помощи всем известной кнопки открываем меню «Пуск».
- Выбираем раздел «Все программы».
- Переходим к пункту «Служебные».
- Выбираем «Активация Windows».
- Опускаемся в самой низ странички и скачиваем текстовый документ со свежими сериями лицензионных ключей для данной операционной системы.
- Прописываем символы и подтверждаем ввод.
Готово. Надпись об активации мгновенной исчезнет с экрана, и вы получите полную лицензионную версию продукта от Microsoft.
Используем активатор
Выше мы рассмотрели вариант активации Windows XP при помощи лицензионного ключа во время установки и уже тогда, когда операционная система используется на ПК. Существует еще один универсальный вариант, позволяющий в любой момент получить бесплатную лицензию для данной ОС. Это активатор. Рассмотрим, как работать с таким приложением:
- Сначала перейдите в самый конец странички и при помощи одной из кнопок скачайте сам активатор. Дальше запустить операционную систему в безопасном режиме. Для этого в момент старта компьютера периодически нажимаем кнопку «F8». В результате появится показанное на прикрепленном ниже скриншоте меню.
- Когда операционная система запустится, мы открываем папку с заранее распакованным активатором и запускаем исполняемый файл от имени администратора.
- Появится небольшое окошко, в котором нужно выбрать отмеченную на скриншоте кнопку.
- В проводнике находим и выбираем файл «winlogon». Нажимаем кнопку «Открыть».
- В результате активация будет проведена в автоматическом режиме. В окне вы увидите надпись об успешном исходе операции.
Готовая активированная сборка
Если вы только собираетесь установить Windows XP на компьютер, проще всего навсегда забыть об активации и просто скачать уже лицензированную сборку данной операционной системы. Сделать это, опять же, можно в самом конце странички.
Активация по телефону
Прейдите в самый конец странички и скачайте специальный генератор ключей подтверждения, которым мы и воспользуемся. Дальше при помощи меню «Пуск» вы открываете раздел активации Windows. Прописываем лицензионный ключ, предварительно выбрав регион. Воспользовавшись генератором, создаем код ответа. Вводим получившееся значение в соответствующую форму. Подтверждаем внесенные изменения, нажав «Далее». В результате активация мгновенно будет произведена.
Видеоинструкция
Любая текстовая инструкция всегда становится только лучше, если в ней есть обучающие видео по теме.
Скачать
По прикрепленным ниже кнопкам вы сможете скачать текстовый документ с лицензионными ключами активации. Также мы прикрепили торрент-раздачу с чистым образом операционной системы от Microsoft. Третья кнопка позволяет совершенно бесплатно загрузить уже активированную Windows XP, а четвертая получить генератор ключей для активации по телефону.
