This sounds like total control, lol. M$ remotely controls your license, lol. Actually there is a lot about 'remote' found at UEFI specifications. I also guess that there will be something UEFI related, like to load something into EFI at activation, but: OA3.0 has to work via phone activation, or they have to name ISP requirement! MSDM table is found at BIOS (this is the most surprising fact to me...) I still think OA3.0 will require UEFI (features).....
I think this must work and i am not sure about it why not some one gets a chipset or something like drivers then modify the driver and insert slic like how paradox guys did or modify the kernel... Sorry if am worng just thought helping in my style
Nice nononsence so if the new oem activation will allow phone activation all you need is confirmation ID, maybe its exposed just me speculating though.
Numbers are usually presented in code as 2^8 code rather than plain decimals, in other words i mean 10^54 is less than 256^23. Where is this from? I've read only this:
kernel is signed so modding it would require testsigning on, which would enable security hole, and it's being updated very offen so it'd be boring to patch it each time. Driver is out there for a few years, google odin or uodin, however on 64-bit OS it also needs testsigning or kernel patch.
OK, now I have got what you mean. Installation ID 54 digits numbers only, confirmation ID 48 digits (numbers only), I've been confused since the product key consists of characters, not numbers only. No, somebody told me (confirmed forests post) the MSDM data is specified to hold 29 digits (characters), so I assume it's the product key. It will be written into NVRAM by the OEMs. If this is true nobody knows of course.
attached is an example of how to do it with WinAPI, only works on Windows 7, COM appears to be broken on Windows 8. EDIT: COM is not broken in Windows 8, no 32bit version of sppcomapi.dll is included with 64 bit Windows 8 compile as x64 and should work.
Only Windows 8 uses the keys containing N. As KeyStr.BIN is a file all on it's own then I guess this is how they insert unique serials. And no doubt this serial thats leaked will be traced back and blocked too.
@ nononsence Shame theres no function to get the serial as DefaultKeyFromRegistry will only retrive the default trial key.
