apparently arabmed doesn't understand the difference between activates and not-genuine... Post. Step by Step Procedure please arabmed.
Very interesting indeed... Well, I have never seen that before in tests that others have done... Does windows update still work with the date advanced like that?
i will format my computer and iwill install win7homepren and will try i will format my computer and i will install win7homepren and will try its work but when run slmgr -dlv its show win vista its only test tell we have any oem slip key and certi for win 7
It will always show Windows Vista {Edition} OEM_SLP because it is a Vista cert, and Vista key.... The problem I am having is it going to not-genuine even with it activated because files are changed to force offline activation. Well, actually, the cert has nothing to do with it saying Vista.
Very very interesting, so it activates offline though eh? Just shows up as non-genuine when you take it online?
then what about pkeyconfig.xrm-ms you mentioned in first post? What Version of Vista files did you use? RTM, SP1, or SP2? (not sure if they changed)
I will try it on my older desktop, as you have piqued my interest now... So you copied the whole directory from Vista... Any chance that you could .zip/.rar the files in that folder that you copied and post it to rapidshare or something? I have tried this before on my test system and could not get it to work previously with the Vista files that I have... I am just curious, as I have already prepaid for my copy of Win7...so I don't _need_ to activate it yet until I get my legit copy...just want to play around with it on my test system . If you cant, no biggie...as I said before, its just out of curiosity... But thanks though for doing this "testing" for us arabmed . If no body tried stuff like this, then no one would learn anything new... I just think its fun.
