Retail Confimation ID #1

I don't think there's a website available but there is an executable that does work, I'm actually testing it as we speak and have been able to successfully generate a key for (and activate) windows xp pro sp3 The file you're looking for is named I'll direct you to this thread/comment |

I'm working on disassembling |
Installing XP in a VM right now and trying it! |
So I built your repo and ran ./xpkey on a Debian Linux system & all the keys generated say "product key is invalid", do I have to edit the main.cpp with a specific product ID or something for the edition I'm installing? in this case XP Pro? |
|
They product keys are for Windows XP Pro VL Let me look into why compiling on debian is throwing that error. I was testing the changes under WSL Ubuntu but that shouldn't be an issue |
I'm using a 64-bit Debian so, maybe you're using 32bit? Not sure. |
Oh to be clear the tool says the key is valid, but when I enter in XP install (or after install), it says invalid product key entered.. |
Thank you for this! Anyways, are the keys only usable in XP Pro VL? What about OEM versions? |
Ooh nice... also, I'm glad I could be of help for those who have retail XP discs laying around. I happen to have a XP SP2 system builder CD that I know (without the aid of this tool) would have been unusable today because activation actually doesn't work without updating certificates in the OS itself. |
Yes so I just test this on an XP Pro Volume license installer and this seems to work correctly.
Yes! I agree! - Personally, I desire creating a comprehensive tool for both creating keys and activating XP (and other versions of windows/office that use these types of keys) |
Oh! Jackpot :) I was about to ask about Office 2003! It would be nice to have a keygen that could generate keys and activation for non-VL versions Windows XP and Office 2003. I also have multiple CDs of retail / OEM versions in different languages of Office that are essentially useless because there's no possible way to active them. Thank you for your efforts. |
|
I have a copy of Office 2003 small business and it would be great, i could install it again on a XP machine ^^ btw is there others Microsoft products that use the same Product key scheme as XP ? (like there was during the 95 period) |
they specifically mentioned you @Neo-Desktop . |
|
less than 9 hours after you made that comment, they wrote an article about this. |
|
@Neo-Desktop The YouTuber Enderman is already working on a functional XP Keygen. It can already generate the same VL keys and we're currently in the process of cracking the rest of the Elliptic Curve private keys to support all editions and builds. |
|
So far, the xp_activate32.exe program supports Windows XP Home Edition and Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 Enterprise, from my testing. It doesn't support Office 2003 or Plus! DME, so it's just for Windows. |
Oh wow, right on! Ya love to see it
Thanks for linking this - it seems that there's a lot more math involved here to make these keygens work. This may be a bit of a stumbling block for me but I'm sure there are people that have a very good understanding of the math involved that might be able to assist
Ah okay thank you for testing - so it sounds like the activator specifically works with the NT5 product family phone activation. At this point I wouldn't know what the differences are, but thank you for testing this and reporting your results |
@Neo-Desktop It might also just be that the creator didn't bother to check and hardcoded anything else apart from known values to throw that error. After all, the check digit algorithm is the same. |
I can't seem to get any key generated from this or Enderman's tool to be accepted by the installer, I'm using the slipstreamed SP3 x86 Professional ISO's provided by Microsoft, though I doubt that makes any difference & Enderman's tool even mentions SP3 |
|
Okay I used the proper VL ISO and it works now |
@Neo-Desktop As an addition, this is what happens when you use an unsupported product: |
|
Are there chances this could be an internal keygen from Microsoft themselves? It's probably low, but most keygens have stuff like "MADE BY X-FORCE" and have ear deafening music. |
No, this tool has a whole separate dialog in Cyrillic and it breaks some best practices in the code that very likely wouldn't fly at Microsoft. I'm fairly positive any Microsoft specific tool for generating phone activation confirmation ids would be some kind of client-server (like asp.net) webapp that integrates with the automated phone (IVR-based) activation system |
|
The xp_activate32.exe's timestamp is 0x5A8711DB, it's 2018/02/16 19:16:11. So, it's 5 years old already. |
|
He just posted it. Grab it while you can. |
Got it. Thanks Edit: this source looks legitimate I'll have to dive into it further |
|
for the love of Bill "Microsoft" Gates, upload faster |
Just to clarify SP0 meaning RTM? |
yes, sorry for the confusion. |
Having this exact same issue but this time it's with an upgrade copy of XP Home using Service Pack 1. Maybe for some reason the application doesn't work with anything older than Service Pack 2 or 3 perhaps? |

im not sure if there really are any upgrade editions of xp but maybe you would have a better chance of activating successfully if you had changed your product key to a non-upgrade key because xp_activate32.exe did definitely work for me on windows xp home edition sp1 retail. maybe your specific product key is the issue. |
|
Does anyone have a list of Upgrade-only ISO's I can use for testing? |
i just tried a key that is supposedly an upgrade key. also, you might have a copy that might differ from non-upgrade versions and that version of windows might not be found anywhere. might also be helpful to give out your product id as well. |
|
Well it's a genuine copy, box, manuals and everything, Even has the upgrade label on the holographic disc and box. I wasn't really thinking much when I was doing testing for it. The key from the box is: HB49T-J3KGF-B2PM7-RM29P-CXG6F works fine with the activation hotline but once it spits out the confirmation from the xp_activate32 app and I entered it, give me an error. |
|
Can you copy the disc to an ISO and send it here? (You can do this via AnyBurn (free version works): https://www.anyburn.com/download.php) |
|
imgburn is also prefered - please upload to archive.org |
i just put in your product key and tried activating via xp_activate32.exe and it worked just fine. |
|
Weird, guess it's the upgrade disc I have then, I'm in the process of uploading it now, just waiting through the long upload progress rn. Just kinda weird that it would be the upgrade disc that's affecting the product activation or the supposed service pack on the disc. |
|
i dont think the service pack has anything to do with it, i think it has something to do with the fact its an upgrade edition. |
|
interesting, nevertheless here's the upgrade copy I imaged https://archive.org/details/xrmhccp-en_202306 |
|

i used your xp iso and tried the upgrade and the clean install approach. |
|
One time I think I tried the get and store from the app and manually typing it in Virtual PC 2004, the id was exactly as it was typed out. I tried again, gave me a different one and that didn't work either. I'm trying it again on virtualbox now but hopefully it wasn't any minor mistakes on my end. |
|
I'm testing |
|
huh, putting it in virtualbox seemed to work, so sorry if I may have wasted all your time. Weird it was the right version, I think the program didn't seem to work for me in virtual pc for some reason |
|
don't know if it had something to do with the drag and drop method or what, gonna try it again and see if it was a mistake |
|
maybe vpc 2004 had some form of oem bios embedded into it and windows xp acted as if it was an oem installation so it blocked any form of telephone/online activation. |
|
Nope, didn't seem to be the case. Tried it again on VPC 2004, and for some reason it worked. Maybe because I did the get and store commands first, but I couldn't remember if there were any mistakes when I entered the ID from VPC in. Maybe it was my fault and I was just wasting my time by doing it, but can't keep wondering to myself how it was able to work that time. Well I appreciate the effort nevertheless |
|
did you activate on the same vm that had this issue or did you install on another vm? |
|
I created a new vm for the install after the first one failed on me. I think I was installing the first one directly from the disc if I recall correctly |
|
just fyi: we are migrating away from using |
|
Good to see the hard work pay itself off. I gotten the error a few days ago and didn't think much of it. Hope to see more improvement in old Microsoft activations in the future |
and others
The link in the description to the activation service is down.. is there a open source version of it?
