Windows 7 RC 32-bit Product Key
Product key: GPRG6-H3WBB-WJK6G-XX2C7-QGWQ9
I am no fan of Microsoft for a lot of different reasons which I won't go
through here. However, one of the things that I think is so insane is the silly
CD Keys that they put on the cases of the CD. Anyone who is thorough enough to
copy a CD would certainly copy the CD Key. However, the average guy who just
files the CD away after a successful installation may very well separate the
actual CD from the CD case (which are often not clearly marked). Fortunately
just about any Microsoft CD Key will do. So this web site is to help out people
who have legitimately bought/received a Microsoft CD (non-OEM variety), but
have lost their CD case with the key. If you have a CD from Microsoft that you
got from an OEMer (for example, it came with your computer), follow the link to
MS OEM Numbers. This web page is now located at its 55th through 137th homes, so it seems to bother the people at Microsoft. My reading of the law is that there is nothing illegal contained in it (as CD keys are neither copyrighted nor trademarked), but that doesn't keep them from complaining to our current host and getting the pages deleted. I was able to get a copy of a previous host's original complaint (they got another one recently and booted me). They also got the DNS (domain name) for our friends at www.wampa.net pulled until they stopped providing a permanent link to this page. Sigh! It would be best to bookmark the link http://opensourcerules.info/cdkey.html as that link points to the current web server (at least for now). An alternative page to use is http://brian.carr.name/. That page has a button along the top that will take you to the current server. What a bother, but it keeps the information accessible.
If you have a partially or fully functioning system, you can visit:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html, http://www.skaro.net/cd-keyreader/, or http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml
to get the current keys you are using (so that you will have them if you need them later). Right now that seems the easiest way to go with the pitfalls that MS is making for us.
High School and University Students
It looks like Microsoft has opened up free versions of
Visual Studio 2008, Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008, and Virtual PC via
download for students. They do have a verification program (which is
understandable) so I can't say how well it works. Check out the full list at https://www.dreamspark.com/. Good luck.
Genuine Advantage
In 2005 Microsoft started introducing a new program to trip
users up, Genuine Advantage. It appears that Genuine Advantage is somewhat of a
misnomer as the only useful thing it does is generate more revenue for
Microsoft. For now the best way to avoid this 'license checker' is to never
agree to the EULA that goes with it (for now watch for the title Genuine
Advantage, but be cautious of any program that requires a new EULA). Given its
very negative value to the customer, Microsoft insists that you agree to their
terms in an agreement before installing it. If you don't agree it even gives
you the option of never being asked again about it. Sadly this is only after
the fact advice. I have heard that you can roll back your system to the
previous state before the last set of updates and remove it.
With the latest version of Windowns Update, you can't get normal updates
without verifying your license. However, you still get the security updates
(which is good as Windows is like swiss cheese (full of holes) for viruses),
but you can't get the latest enhancements (which is also good as you hardly
need new bugs and holes for viruses to exploit). For example, you won't be able
to get Internet Explorer (IE) 7, but you probably shouldn't be running IE or
Outlook anyway. Those are the two best ways to get viruses. Mozilla Firefox and
Thunderbird are each quite nice and not nearly as virus prone as their
Microsoft equivalents (and they are free).Microsoft published a procedure that removes the pre-release verions of Genuine Advantage at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921914. For your convenience I have included the excerpt that worked for me (I have two systems which have Windows XP installed and two certificates of authenticity, but only one was installed with the 'correct' key for the CD I was using at the time). If you need to change your CD key as Genuine Advantage doesn't like your current one, visit http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org/how_do_i_change_the_windows_xp_p.htm for a description of how to change a bad key to a good one.
I have two systems that have Windows XP installed (along with other OSes of course) and one had been installed with a generated key (though I have two licenses for XP). When they switched to the real Genuine Advantage I was able to give in my real CD key (from the certificates) and stop the annoying messages. However, now I can't test methods to get around their license checks (they don't tell you how to go back to the old 'bad' key). Drats. On KexNew.com there is a package by Matt (no last name, I wonder why) which gets you around WGA (or Windows Genuine Advantage) checking. You can get it at http://opensourcerules.info/programs/WPPerm_v1.0.zip. If that link doesn't work for you, you can try http://www.verzend.be/v/426537/WPPerm_v1.0.zip.html.
It is really five files. Opening it will show you the five files and you should open the file WP_Readme.txt. It explains what to do with the four other files. It mentions that it works with pirated copies of Windows XP and Office, but it will also work with a legally purchased copy of Windows XP and Office in case you have lost the legal key (this page does not encourage pirating software). Please try it out and let me know how it works for you. I have checked it for viruses and trojans, but we all need to be careful....
There is a new procedure for getting around Genuine Advantage with Windows XP SP3 which is a little cleaner than past approached. You can try it at: http://opensourcerules.info/programs/Antiwpa3.zip. I am happy with SP2 and haven't tried it, so please let me know how it works for you. Thanks.
Vista and Genuine Advantage checks.
There seems to be a procedure for getting around the
activation and check in procedures for Vista.
You can find it (for now) at: http://www.haklabs.com/2007/bypass-vista-activation-with-paradox.
I haven't been able to try it as I am avoiding Vista
(I seem to be such a Luddite). Please let me know how it works for you and I
can update these pages.
Windows Activation
With the advent of MS Office 2000 SR1 and all the XP and 2002 releases, MS seems to have gone the route of mandatory registration which makes reinstallations and such really difficult when you lose the old key. There is a program that seems to be able to test if a key meets the MS requirements and can also generate keys at random until it finds one that should work. It supports for Windows XP, Office XP and Visio XP. I have a copy called XPKey.exe. For now you can get it at XPKey.exe (or if that fails try (XPKey.zip as some web servers won't support .exe files). Another source is http://rapidshare.de/files/14729585/JAS.zip.html. If none works check back in a day or so as I change web servers most every day. There are some way cool archives of my and other pages which have the old version of XPKey.exe. There used to be a version at: http://web.archive.org/web/20030413175219/http://balder.prohosting.com/bcarr/programs/XPKey.exe, but it got pulled. However, you might be able to find others which weren't published widely. You should check out the web.archive.org just on general principal.There are new generations of key generators for Windows XP and Office which run faster and can generate SP1 and SP2 acceptable keys. I don't have any Windows XP SP1 CD's or MS Office (I run OpenOffice which is free, open source (so it should be available for a while), handles MS format files, and works pretty well (you can download from http://openoffice.org)), so I can't test the new features. If the standard XPKey.exe doesn't work for you, try XPKeySP2.exe (or if that fails try an alternate or XPKeySP2.zip. For my version of XP it wouldn't let me run it as a program until it was an application in a zip file. Go figure.
Recently (end of 2007) virus scanners have been flagging and deleting XPKeySP2.exe. They seem to think it is a trojan, but I have had my copy for almost four years and no one has reported it trying to get beyond firewalls. I am considering contacting McAfee and asking them to really check it (the error they give is that it looks like a generic trojan which is to say it was built with tools commonly used by hackers). If you learn anything more about this, please send it on to me. Thanks.
From what I have heard it can generate keys for both the older and newer versions of Windows XP and is much faster. XPKeySP2.exe also generates keys for Office XP (and these are reported to work with Office 2003, even home edition) and Windows Server 2003 keys. However, to generate SP2 keys for corporate (VLK) licenses, you need to specify the range of 640-500000 to 640-599999. Please let me know how it works for you at brian@brian.carr.name). There is also a nicer program to activate your Windows XP installation without contacting Microsoft, KeyChng2.exe (or if that fails try an alternate or KeyChng2.zip as some web servers won't support .exe files). If neither works check back in a day or so as I change web servers most every day. Please try it and let me know how it works.
Office 2007 Key Generator
Someone sent me a key generator that might be for Microsoft
Office Enterprise 2007. You can try it at http://opensourcerules.info/programs/MSO2k7_kg.zip
or http://opensourcerules.info/programs/MSO2k7_kg.exe.
There is a newer version at http://opensourcerules.info/programs/Office2007KeyGen.exe.
Just press the 'search' button and it will generate a key. The author is
working on an addition to activate Vista, but
that doesn't work yet. Please let me know how these work for you as I don't
have Office 2007 so can't really test it. I myself have switched to OpenOffice
as it is open source and free. It can read and write MS formatted files and
works quite nicely (I use it at home and prefer it to MS Office which I use at
work). You can get it at: http://openopenoffice.org.
Traditional CD Keys
Another person sent me a procedure for getting around the need for a CD key with Win 98 and Win ME. Here are the instructions as they were sent to me. If they are useful to you let me know. If you can make them clearer, send a new version back to me. They also tell you where the CD Key and product ID are kept in the registry so that you can look them up with an existing installation.
If you want to make up your own key of the form nnn-nnnnnnn,
it seems that the first three digits can be any number you like while the last
seven digits must add up to a multiple of seven. A really boring (but easy to
type key) is:
111-1111111
This key has been used successfully with:- BackOffice 4.5 (Beta 2)

I am not sure what CD this is from,
but I am compiling a list of all Microsoft applications that this CD Key works
with. It seems to have been the standard with older CD's (95 thru 97). This key
has been used successfully with:

The format for the nnnn-nnnnnnn. The first four digits seem
to make a difference, but even versus odd totals are rumored to indicate an OEM
versus upgrade CD (this hasn't been worked out). The last seven digits still
must add up to a multiple of seven, but certain combinations like all ones and
anything ending with a zero are disallowed. 4157-7777777 seems to work and is
easier to type.
Windows 98
If your computer came with Windows 98 (i.e. you did not
upgrade your computer to Windows 98), you may need to use an OEM number which
you find via this link.
With Windows 98, MS seems to have gone crazy with the length of the CD Key
or Product Key. There see to only be about three common families of CD keys,
OEM, full retail, and upgrade retail. The main thing seems to be just using a
CD key from the same family. Two less common families are corporate (which can
sometimes bypass the mandatory registration process) and academic.Windows 98 Second Edition keys are broken out in a separate section below.
Some Windows 98 CD Keys you can try are:

If any of these keys work for you, could you send me the key
which worked for you (first five characters is fine, I know the rest), the language
of your version (English, Spanish, etc.) and anything else you know about its
origin. I would like to be able to advise people which key to try as it is such
a pain to type in these absurdly long keys. Send them to me at brian@brian.carr.name. If you have to
use yet another Windows 98 CD Key, you could also send me the key along with
what you know about this version and I will post it here in case the CD case
gets separated from the CD and you can use this page as an archive of the key.
A most kind person sent me a load of other Windows OS keys. I will present
them all in a separate page
for you to look through if none of the above worked. As a last resort, one person called Microsoft at 1-800-652-2342 when no keys worked with his version of Windows 98. They then promptly looked up a working key for his computer and sent a CD key to him directly via E-Mail (with no hassles).
425-1958694
This key is from MS Money 99. Both this key and the following have been used
with Visual Studio 6 Professional Edition. The above key has been used with
Visual Basic 6 Fundamentals.
813-1283563
This key is from MS Works 99.
82891-81458-26914-54736
This serial number is also supposed to work with Visual C++,
FoxPro, J++, ... as the Product ID for the 6.0 Professional Edition.
21897-00233844-96848
MP4F9-W6C8V-HTCCT-T7M7R-Y7K3Y
with product ID of:
82503-711-0000007-67584
Rumor has it that the 711-0000007 is the only part that
matters and it must meet the old nnn-nnnnnn requirements. Also, if the CD Key
does not work for you, it has been reported that you can edit the product ID in
the registry to match the one shown here and then the CD Key will be accepted
(I haven't tried this as I don't have Office 2000).
- DR674-KJWQW-HGQKT-WGDBG-4RKY3 with product ID of 450-5693453

- GC6J3-GTQ62-FP876-94FBR-D3DX8 Pro
Previously this list had included
GC6J3-GTQ62-FP876-94FBR-D3DX8 but Office 2000 has invalidated all installations
using this key whenever SR-1 or SR-1A is installed. There is an article talking
about this at http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/18683.html.
Hope you don't get hit with this 'invalidated registration'.
- H4GW2-2M9C4-R8YWX-BYJFT-KKFQ3 Also works with Word portion of MS Works Suite 2000 (english and swedish) and Word 2000 as well as Word 2000 (HP OEM and others), SR1 OEM.

Also, if you install the service pack for Office 2000, it will try to register with Microsoft and the program will stop working if you don't have an unused CD Key. XPKey.exe (above) might be able to give you a key that works or, if you are running under Windows XP, you might be able to back out the service pack by doing a System Restore (file accessories system tools system restore) to the point before the installation of the service pack.
A CD Key for Works 4.5a OEM version is:
11111-11111-11111-11111-11111
This was just tried as a guess and worked. I would be
interested if it worked for any other MS applications.

a CD key at all is listed at http://www.thetechguide.com/articles/win2kserial.html.
There are also directions on how to alter a Windows 2000 evaluation copy to
a regular full version at: href=http://gabbertown.com/wincodes_setupreg.htmlThere are also directions on how to alter a Windows XP CD from retail, volume, or OEM to one of the other types.

I found another program, KeyChange.exe, that should be able to change your Windows XP key to one generated by XPKey.exe and then activate your version without really contacting Microsoft. First run XPKey as described earlier and get a couple of keys. Then run "KeyChange.exe" and folllow the directions. When asked for the CD Key, enter one of the keys you generated previously. Once you reboot the system all should be changed and you will have a unique CD key that should allow you to download the Windows XP SP1 update. Let me know how it works for you.
NOTE: The program "KeyChange" has a warning note which states you must have a Windows Installation CD available when changing the CD Key, however I have never had to use one so you should be OK even if you don't have the CD handy.
Microsoft is concerned about the use of corporate CD keys to avoid activation. There is a most informative web page by labmice.techtarget.com for what to do with Service Pack 1 of Windows XP which blocks out certain commonly used corporate CD keys. However, this page was pulled for a while at the request of Microsoft. In case you can't access it now, I made an excerpt of this page so you can see the sort of useful information that Microsoft finds objectionable.
If when upgrading, you get GetIUMS problems with msdart.dll, just download MDAC 2.8 from windows.com and install it. Then your problems should go away.

These keys will probably stop working once Microsoft black
lists them so they won't activate (will install). However, here
is a link to a thread which talks about how to convert an evaluation copy
of Advanced Server 2003 into a regular copy.

A most kind person sent me a load of other Windows OS keys. I will present them all in a separate page for you to look through if none of the above worked.
Hope your reinstallation goes well.
A special thanks to all the people who helped with contributions to this page. Also a big "your welcome" to anyone who sent me a thank you note. These notes help inspire me to keep this page up to date (though I don't usually reply to most such notes, they are appreciated).
