Permanently Activate Windows Vista by Skip Activation with Patched TimerStop.sys Crack
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 20.12.2006
Hackers are going all out to crack Windows Vista activation procedure which is enhanced by Software Protection Platform (SPP).
Until now, Microsoft has an upper hand, with no permanent or foolproof ways to crack or bypass Windows Vista activation request emerged. Instead, various workarounds and tricks to bypass, skip, delay, disable or spoof Vista activation has been suggestion, to various degree of success, such as extend evaluation period, rearm method, install Vista in future year, ‘frankenbuild’ Vista by replacing RTM build WPA files with RC build files, activate against spoofed KMS server, or run and activate Vista with own local KMS server and etc. Now, there is new crack method that able to permanently stop the countdown timer of time left to activate Windows Vista, effectively running Vista OS in full functionality evaluation mode forever.
- Install Windows Vista Ultimate edition (or other edition) without product key.
- Windows Vista needs to be applied with 2099-ReArm trick, so that the counter of minutes to no activation required period will not return to normal after reboot. Click on Start Orb button.
- Select “All Programs”, then “Accessories”.
- Right click on “Command Prompt, then select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
- If User Account Control (UAC) prompt a warning message, click on “Continue”.
- In the command prompt, type date and press Enter. You will see the following:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Windows\system32>date
Current date: 12/19/2006 Thursday
Enter new date:
- Enter 12/31/2099 (December 31, 2099).
- Next, type cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm. You will see something like the following:
C:\Windows\system32>cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
The command completed successfully.
To make the change effectively, please restart the system.
- Then reset the date of the system to current date again by typing date again. You will see the following:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\Windows\system32>date
Current date: 12/31/2099 Thursday
Enter new date:
- Type in current date, i.e. 12/19/2006.
- Exit from command prompt, but do not restart the computer.
- Download StopTimer.zip, StopTimer.zip, StopTimer.zip or StopTimer.zip torrent.
- Extract the downloaded archive file into a folder. It should contains “Vista test crack.exe” and “timerstop.sys”.
- Execute or run the “Vista test crack.exe” by right click on “Vista test crack.exe”, and select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
- Optional: Press in Test button, and it will pop up a message says 4 timers are stopped. At this time, the counter should be freezed, Check with slmgr.vbs -dlv command, with the minutes left should be the same after a few minutes interval. If it’s the case, continue with the following steps to run the crack every startup.
- In the Vista test crack window, click on “Install” button. You will be prompted with “Service installed” message if everything is done properly and correctly. The crack will copy the patched stoptimer.sys to system folder and install a new service named “timerstop” to stop kernel-mode timers in spsys.sys system file.
- Exit from the crack, and restart the computer.
- The hacking is basically done. Next few steps to to verify that the activation grace period built-in countdown timer is actually stopped and disable the timers from working properly, and make sure that the crack is installed properly. After restart, log on to Windows Vista. Run for a few minutes.
- Press on Windows + R keys.
- Type slmgr.vbs -dlv to check the time left to activate Windows Vista. If the time left is 43200 minutes that’s mean the crack is successful.
With the crack, you will have the following in the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\TimerStop]
“Type”=dword:00000001
“Start”=dword:00000002
“ErrorControl”=dword:00000000
“ImagePath”=hex(2):5c,00,3f,00,3f,00,5c,00,45,00,3a,00,5c,00,57,00,69,00,6e,00,\
64,00,6f,00,77,00,73,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,\
00,5c,00,54,00,69,00,6d,00,65,00,72,00,53,00,74,00,6f,00,70,00,2e,00,73,00,\
79,00,73,00,00,00
“DisplayName”=”TimerStop”
Further information:
- The TimerStop vista test crack works on all 32-bit x86 Windows Vista edition such as Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium. Success rate in 64-bit (x64) environment is likely to be low.
- The crack will make the time left to activate Vista to become always 43200 minutes (30 days), and will not countdown or reduce.
- It’s possible to access Windows Update if you install Windows Vista with default product key (no product key entered when installation).
- During the first 3 days of activation grace period after installing Windows Vista, Microsoft has designed it in such a way that Vista will allow greatest flexibility for users to install required drivers and application during this period, so Vista won’t prompt any reminder message for activation. After crack, Vista OS will always run with 30 days left for activation, thus there will not be any watermark or reminder to activate.
- It’s possible to pass Windows Vista Genuine Advantage (WVGA) validation, so users able to download Microsoft value-added software for genuine customers.
- As mentioned above, as Vista will also remain in first 3 days of activation grace period, in theory, Microsoft will not be able to differentiate who is the newly installed system, or who is the ‘patched’ system, unless of course, they check for the specific file or system (privacy anyone?).
- Users can only view that there is 30 more days for system to be activated in the system properties, but it won’t affect system usage or installation method.

Show all commentsnice nice nice....hope someone try it out but i think it definitely will work fine..
damn, no x64 support?
since lots of pc's will run x64 it would be nice to find similar workarounds.
its dumb...
i wonder why these keep coming with no x64 support, all computers will end up with x64!
merry crimbo and a vista new year
i agree with the "no 64 bit no future" statement...
actually i take that back. i am just one stupid prick.
i love the cock too...
works perfect, i had 14 days left, now 30 days, and minutes not counting down!
very impressive crack... :) works like a charm. thank you !
working...thx
works 100%
i could not download file please upload it to new place??
hi selsei,
i just tried both links are working.
what you have to do is click on the link, then
a new window opens, click on the free download and another window will open, so look at the botton and you
will see a count down, when it finishs give you 4 numbers you enter on the form next to it and click download,
should work.
can we use windows update service this way?
and to think, i was going to go and buy this because of no working solution lol. i can't wait to apply this
crack/patch when i get home
perfect !! works at 100% on windows vista ultimate x86.yes we can update but only with safe updates (defender
updates.....)yupiiiii
do not forget to rename in regedit temerstop to smth. random.
timerstop.sys to "randomname.sys"
keyname timestop to "randomname"
displayname to randomname
imagepath to point randomname.sys
works 100%. first crack i've used that really works. thank you and well done!
fox: i'm sure the checks for this will be a little more advanced than checking for the service, like checking
if the timer has been stopped ;) i guess it's on!
hi guys i already activated using another method i want to use this method but when i make this on command
promt run it on run as administrator appear this microsoft vbscript runtime error permission denied. what can
i do? another thing this works like coa key product? in other words with this we can download all the windows
updates including the newest wga??? please help and post the step to solve my problem i will apreciate that...
thaks merry christmas
i have applied the new crack without reinstalling vista and until now (1 hour from cracking ) it works without
any problem !
vista reports 43200 minutes left !!!
can it be ? is this the crack ???
well worked for 2/3 restars, but now on 4th restart the timer is counting down :(
so does this work or not?????
yes it works
does anyone know what gets reset by windows when you do a re-arm patch? (besides the
date).. do all profiles get reset?
i have tried this looks as if it works but im still showing 30 days but its not counting down
same here as razer, work fine for the first couple of restarts and then like the third or fourth restart...the
timer starts to count down. tried it on three fresh install of vista ultimate and happens everytime.
hmmmmmm....maybe i am doing something wrong here...
7 restarts and almost 2 hours past the cracking and i still have 43200 minutes
what can i say !
is
it possible that the clock is ticking and the report from slmgr is stuck to 43200 (30 days ) ?
wot does this mean (windows vista needs to be applied with 2099-rearm trick)
thaks
i made the procedure, but mine it congealed in 42485. the system says that i have 30 days! the time stopped,
really. cool!!
can someone just send a x64 to these guys in china (apparently only chinese can crack vista) since
apparently they do everything for old x86 computers?
better than nothing but still silly to think
this crack has any future if not working with modern x64...
it looks as though it messes with spsys.sys in system memory. you cannot do that in x64 because of added
protection given by the cpu. you will have to find another way of tampering with spsys.sys!
do you have to re-install vista again? as instructed, or can you just apply the carck
i have applied the crack without reinstalling and now after 10 system restarts and more than 6 hours past the
cracking , it still works perfectly
vista reports 43200 minutes (30 days)
couple of things to note...
1-there is a major delay before the "command completed successfully"
prompt appears - be very patient!
2-pressing the test button yielded a response of 2 timers
stopped, not 4.
3-the command slmgr.vbs -dlv returns a script error during the patch process, but
works properly after the first reboot showing 43200 minutes remaining.
thanks for the great crack.
excellent! thank you.
since when a crack is copyrighted ?
we do not need a king in a dead king's throne !
no key install. 3741 min left.
i ran test gave me 4 timers off..installed and everytime i check 25
days.. i have one with x64 not working report..
14 system restarts , more than 7 hours after cracking and vista reports 43200 minutes (30 days) !
i think
this time the crack actually works!
worked so far, the only thing that did not work was it would not let me set the dat in cmp to 2099 so i had to
set it in the bios and when it restarted it sed windows medaplayer will not work with this date but i just
carred on with the crack and it seems to work
it's not working at all with x64 version, i just just tried.
as said above there is no chance that it
ever works with x64, lame :(
because the next windows update might contain a auto-kill for timerstop.sys
does it work on x64 vista for somebody?
step 2 of the procedure ??
does something has to be applied right after install and before the
procedure or is it just an information about what's gonna happen in the next following steps of the procedure
??
on x64 with amd, my machine changed 12days to 30days after using this.
thanks a lot.
please post these files i need them to try this trick becuase i have replaced them, anyone have original vista
files including pkeyconfig and tokens.dat from original vista ultimate?
very nice, thanks antiwpa - you have done it again. works as instructed.
i applied the crack and withoust sucess:(, just wondering, what might be the problem? i haven't re-installed
vista, i asked earlier if the crack worked without installing and several people said it worked...
guys mine isnt working , wen i restart its asking me 2 reg windows caus its illigal , i need some help .. is
der something dat i forgot.... please guys
did you move your clock ahead in the bios before applying the crack or after? or did you at all..
