IR5 - The Official Windows 7 Rearm Solution

I have changed it. Try again.

 

I have had an idea.

It seems that winlogon.exe locks the WPA registry key.

Would it be possible to add some code to say, winload.exe to delete that key on every boot so that the system can be rearmed before the user logs on?

 

The only reason a reboot is required is because it modifies locked registry keys and files which sppsvc.exe is using.

If we can somehow do what a rearm does BEFORE windows loads all those components...

 

It seems the reason a reboot is needed is to modify the WPA key and as its locked by winlogon it queues it to be one on next boot.

 

My idea is to have it in grace before windows boots.

In theory its possible:
We get a machine in its grace period and take all the license stores and back up the WPA key, and restore it using something like winload before sppsvc and winlogon.exe even load every boot

Like a grace loader.

 

After the deleting WPA key in RE mode, the sub keys are again generated after the logon process. If you open Registry Editor after a reset or a rearm, you will notice that new sub keys are generated. Each of these subkey has a time assigned to it that differs in milliseconds. From my observation about four new sub keys are generated on each rearm.

 

I think "System Idle Process" with PID 0.

 

The system idle process just shows what CPU you aren't using lol, its so theres always one thread executing.

What locks WPA is winlogon.exe

 

When you terminate Winlogon.exe, winint.exe, csrss.exe, System Idle Process it results in a bluescreen.

 

Yep, that's correct. ntoskrnl.exe issues a bugcheck if any of them terminate, for safety reasons, because it can lead to instabilities.

 

thats why when i terminate winlogon.exe i just get logged off????

 

A good solution would be to increase the trial period to 365 days. Is this even possible? Does anyone know what "tells" the Windows that trial must last 30 days?

 

Why 365 days? Just to not have to reset the rearms for the entire year. But hey... sure why not do it for more. I've seen some keygens that would activate subscriptions of programs for hundreds of days. I got one for ZA (back when I was using it) that would activate it for 36,524 days.

I was just wondering if it was possible to increase the days just so you don't have to rearm every 30 days (even if it is automated).

But even if it's not possible your little app is still freaking genious.
