How to bypass Vista 30 days activation
section: windows, for your questions: KezNews forum, 29.12.2006
Next way how to bypass Vista 30 days activation. This how to is for Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.
You’ll get 30 days limit to use it but you can bypass the 30 days activation easily with this hack. Try it at your own risk.
Where to get Windows Vista?
Go here:
Windows Vista RTM build 6000.16386 DOWNLOAD
The hack:
1.
When the first time you install Windows Vista, plug-off your internet cable.
2.
Go to BIOS (by pressing F2/DEL/F10) and set your computer date to the maximum (as example: 2070)
3.
Boot in Windows Vista’s installation and install like usual. When “Product Key” screen pop-ups, just leave it blank and press “enter”. Untick the box “automatically activate Windows when I’m online” and continue your installation.
4.
During the first boot to Windows Vista, click the clock at System Tray and choose “change date and time settings”. Click Internet time, and then “change settings”. Untick the box “synchronize with WIndows Time Server” , then click OK and exit.
5.
Restart your Windows Vista. Go to the BIOS again and now set the correct time. You will notice that the time in system tray will follow the time that has been set in BIOS.
6.
Click start and then Run. Type slmgr.vbs -dlv and press enter. Wait for one window to open. There, you will see a lot of data and information. Go to the last line and you will notice that “about 43196 left on evaluation” is written at the line.
7.
Reboot, do step 6 and see if the value is still the same. If not, you have to do all the previous steps again.
8.
In a nutshell, with this hack everytime Windows Vista restart it will reset the evaluation time back to 30 days, until 2070. That’s mean you don’t have to crack anything and can run Windows update as usual.
Note:
The evaluation will expire if you on your computer for 30 days non-stop. Don’t enable “Synchronize with an Internet Time Server” otherwise Vista will overwrite the time that you have set in your BIOS.

hey.. thanks but is this only working with a fresh install or does it also work when u have vista already
installed?
actually, all this trick really does is count down the actual minutes you use the computer, if you dont want
it to count down, you would have to reboot every hour, this was one of the firsts rumored 'crack' that wax
out
lets go pirates! lets go!!!!
come on... this "trick" is one month old. anyway, two sidenotes:
- it is perfectly safe to
synchronize with internet time after setting the date back to current year (ntp harms no one) and you can
change the time server if you don't trust microsoft's
- on the other side, it is not safe to run
windows update as ms could release a patch to invalidate the trick; the best thing to do is review updates
manually.
when reporting 1 month old "news", at least do it right.
come on keznews, is posting old news really necessary??
very nice...let them come :)
i have used a different way.. run date as admin..reset +1yr from today..check date..then slmgr.vbs -rearm,
then install stop timer... reset date back to current...sync the time back thru ms.
then check 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. that is my way.. and it works.. fast easy and no need to mess with the
bios and rebooting...
yes, timerstop does work. i was able to go even to wga and download the cool stuff and i smiled when wga said "thank you for using genuine software, etc."
but there is a problem and i think admin might help, this has been targeted by some people.
sometimes, only sometimes i got a blue screen of death or bsod when vista starts and it's linking it to timerstop.
i've even changed the registry name of timerstop.sys to ****rulez.sys. but same it gives me a bsod.
again this happens very few times, i would say 1 out of 20 boots.
now i checked about the error and this might interest you guys.
every thime you go into the event viewer you will see that windows auditing system gets an error, saying something like: audit failure
in my words:
"windows was unable to audit timerstop.sys, because the hash has incompatibilities, or corruption etc."
i can even remeber the event id is 5038.
i've checked for it, but there is nothing on the web about this.
for those of you who are actually running timerstop.sys, can you please check your event viewer for auditing errors.
could this error be related to the few bsod that some of us are getting.
sorry guys for messing your mind, the fact is that this crack works beautifully, except for some system failures, and i want to know the extent of this crack, and if it might affect vista's behavior.
thanks
only with fresh install?
