I UPDATED IT IT'S 2 COMMANDS NOW :O I found that running these 2 commands will disable the 7/R2 activation requirement by causing SLUI to fail to start, which keeps nags and stuff at bay rather than renaming it or whatever. Code: takeown /F %WINDIR%\System32\sppcomapi.dll icacls %WINDIR%\System32\sppcomapi.dll /deny *S-1-1-0:F Run that from an ADMIN cmd line, and its done. You will receive updates, pass WGA and be able to download security essentials etc. It will count down but nothing will happen To undo: Code: icacls %WINDIR%\System32\sppcomapi.dll /grant *S-1-1-0:F Cool huh?
No way, why risk leaving the activation DLL to re-nag-rivate you at some later date. Wish I would have tested more when I played with this last week, he did some good works here.
Well its something that hasn't been done before. Loaders have been around for years, no one took the time to investigate and find it all comes to pieces when you rename a file.
and it catches Windows Update without breaking it, can't argue with that. I like this cause it doesn't require (supposedly) any 3rd party exe or any questionable GRLDR modified SLIC emulations.
Very nice, but will the commands screw anything up in the future though if MS patches this? Because I'm sure they will. A few commands that prevent people from having to activate will surely be on Microsoft's list to fix right away.
but to be precise Win7 or R2 are in Eval State the OS is not aktivated but it doesn't run out of time.
So evaluation time counts down to 0 days, then of course remains at 0 days, but nothing else happens, right? And what will happen when the counter is at 0 days, and then the .dll is renamed back to its original name?
When it hits 0 days it will change to "you must activate windows" Nothing will happen and you can receive updates as normal as if it was activated. If at 0 days the dll is renamed again then the not activated screens will apeear at logon for 15 secs like if the period has expired.
Thanks for the good work and information. Just for interest: What can be done if Windows has expired? What works, and what doesn't work anymore?
Everything can be done when windows has expired, it just nags and bothers you to death. This kills those nags
