XP activation GAME OVER

X

XPisthebest

I had a legit XP and my PC (Dell Vostro) and HD crashed but I had full backup (TerabyteUnlimited)...

I restored on another PC (Acer Aspire) with a fresh HD and after reboot it asked me for an activation...

I contacted Terabyte to know... they said when hardware is too different, XP ask for activation...

Even if I have original key, I could not reach Microsoft...

I found a program who do the keygen, it worked for my XP pro V2002 SP3.

Program is reacheable here:
However, xp_activate32.exe can be downloaded as an 8 kb 7-Zip file, xp_activate32.7z, here:
https://mega.nz/file/nkJRwQIS#313TDXlkG1ly5WdYFyQ7OgY_rbZFGbwqgreIV6VKeb
But, just as an Internet best practice, it’s best done in a way that’s sandboxed (virtual machine or disposable spare physical machine that can be re-cloned). (You can also then virus check it before unzipping.)
The actual executable, xp_activate32.exe, is 18,432 bytes long, and is dated 1/15/2022 at 8:24 PM in the Properties/Detail panel.
It comes with an SHA-256 hash: 5a4bcac5a50eb5113dd6a2f88c35ebdb709c4df8a792c71ad03ea347afaced52
that you can use to check that the file has not been tampered with. (At a command prompt, navigate to the folder where the file is located, and enter the command: certutil -hashfile xp_activate32.exe SHA256 to verify the hash.)

Program open a dual box where you enter code generated when you ask for a phone activation and when all numbers are entered, it generate those to put in response to the (dead) call to microsoft.

I hope link will be usable for years... anyway I think Microsoft does no longuer care about XP.

NOTE: Very not recommended to use XP today but we all have old programs or machines that still work's and that we do not have to connect to internet.

Ted!
 
Since neither online or phone activation works anymore your only option is to call the appropriate Microsoft customer support number. Did you try one of these numbers? Customer service phone numbers

I called the U.S. numbers a couple years ago and activated Windows XP Pro on a couple computers. The agent help me complete the steps that "phone support" would have done.

The offline method you mentioned was discussed in the thread Windows XP activation algorithm cracked in this forum.

Post #4 has download for file: xp_activate32.exe. After you connect to OneDrive look for folder "xp telephone activation"

I used this method when I reinstalled Windows XP last year on these same two computers. The method worked just fine.
 
I would advise forum members to only download files from trusted sources rather than from someone who just joined with no reputation.

Windows XP activation algorithm cracked

This business of windows XP "activation" seems to have passed me by, is it perhaps possible that if you use a Volume Licence Key (VLK) that "activation" isn't required?

"Trust no one" :b

I have D/L files via links posted by "trusted members" on this site who handed me "trusted links" in the past, only to find my AVG and/or Malware-bytes immediately quarantined the files. So much said for that.

Since I've used other methods in the past, I never bothered to D/L the "xp_activate32.exe" file b4 today.... and with your addition Clippy I now have 3 of them. They're all from different sites, all virus scanned, and I ran 7zip Sha-256 on all them....

I don't recall anyone posting the authentic Hash for this file, but since all three match, I would say I'm good?

Anyway, bottom line is still the same... "Trust no one"!!!
