You can disable the activation nag editing the registry. Locate the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation Change the key: "NotificationDisabled" from 0 (default) to 1
I have several USB Devices including pic programmers and developmental hardware that has not been finalized. The test mode watermarks irks me just as much as any other user would be irked by the build # etc. DSEO used to remove these watermarks but it is not compatible with Windows 8 yet.
I dont like KMS Activation method!! OK... I will try to make crack with OEM Activation but I need a mechanism to prevent hardware ID check nice work Mr.LiveFreeDead
bit confused with the first page. I just used the "Woot332's Patched Watermark Remover"....is that ok??. no idea what the other one are for..lol. anyway it works on enterprise x64
Yes. Then run the other 2 thread killers ones a service the other is the startup folder option. I run all 3 to nuke it from orbit just to be sure
Great patch! But a note to the dev: in order to make it work on the spanish version i had to edit the .bat file and change every reference to "administrators" to "Administradores". I guess it may be the same for other languages.
Thanks Guzmanus, that sounds like the "bug" I had. Will try to edit the .bat this evening. What about collecting those different .bats in Post #1? Regards Level9
I utilised this solution for my Windows 8 Pro x64 MSDN (French).... The "Windows 8 PRO | Build 9200" has been deleted but the "Activate Windows" is again visible ! I did this solution on a Windows 8 with a CLEAN installation ! (2h after the first reboot on Win8) How to use this tools in order to not have again this Watermarks.. ? (there are too many tools)
Here is the .bat modified for spanish users. It'd be good to have a compilation as it's been said before.
In this particular case you can solve the problem universally by using the symbolic SIDs instead of user/group names. Go to MSDN and search for 'Well-known SIDs' (I would post a link but I don't have that ability yet).
update: Just back to restart and now it seems that it goes well. It's funny, because you first reboot did not work. It must have been a system failure. Thanks and regards. Edit my previous message.

Update 2: Another solution that fails. I just came from the street, turn on my computer and again I have been displayed the following watermark: Activate Windows Go to Settings to activate Windows.
-----Updated----- ICACLS "shell32.dll" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F >NUL --- ICACLS "twinui.dll" /grant *S-1-5-32-544:F >NUL This solution works ;D Now, another bug Restoring the original state won´t work. Script tells me, the .rem files couldn´t be found, although they are in C:\Windows\System32, like twinui.dll.rem. As far as I understood the script, it´s working with systempaths, so why is there another problem? Maybe not language specific this time? Thx a lot anyway!
