    I have one function implemented for CryptoID ever since freestyler brought it up.

    I wanted to add the EditionID and ProductDescription from the xrm file but am stuck.

    Maybe if you want to share your functions it may help.

    Dear user_hidden, take a look at the pkeyconfig decoded structure:
    Code:
    <Configuration>
    <ActConfigId>{f8c153f5-e319-4296-a308-922b83cb319a}</ActConfigId>
    <RefGroupId>1813</RefGroupId>
    <EditionId>ServerMultiPointStandard</EditionId>
    <ProductDescription>MultiPoint Server 2012 RTM ServerMultiPointStandard OEM:NONSLP</ProductDescription>
    <ProductKeyType>OEM:NONSLP</ProductKeyType>
    <IsRandomized>false</IsRandomized>
    </Configuration>
    First of all, note that "ActConfigId" node does not have any child nodes. You have to enter each "Configuration" node, then check its "ActConfigId" node inner text. If it is your aid then assign "RefGroupId" inner text to a cid variable, "EditionId" inner text to eid variable and "ProductDescription" inner text to pd variable. Now - how to get these variables aout of the function? You can just pass them to function as a reference (so they will stay changed after the function ends) or make your function return a structure of 3 strings instead of just string.

    Hope it will help you.

    Edit:

    I see CODYQX4 already posted a code but please consider implementing my suggestions if you need all the 3 informations because gathering them in one XML lookup will be much faster.

    thanks Janek.

    once i get Cody's code to work, i will cleanup the VB version and get it all into one function for greater speed.

    i have a couple of AAOEM Win8 keys but the PID Checker sees them as invalid.
    i'm wondering if they require a different xrm-ms file?

    anyone have insight on this ?

    What about Freestyler's online tool?? If that also fails, then it requires new xrm-ms file (or wrong key may be;)).

    Paymyrent / The Dev or someone,

    ok guys I finally upgraded my OS to Win8 x64.
    what I am experiencing is some of my apps build on WinXP with VS2010 are not working.
    namely my PID Checker is not working which I would require some help for it to compile or maybe rewritten.
    I have tried converting it to Activex86 instead of AnyCPU but no difference.
    Language is VBnet under VS2010.

    Let me know I can PM my source

    Since this appears to have become the general product key research thread, I'll ask here. I apologize if I'm doing something wrong.

    I am trying to understand how product keys in Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 are:
    1. decoded from their textual representation
    2. validated
    3. determined to belong to a certain edition and distribution channel.
    Thus far, this is as much as I know:

    Windows XP encodes keys as base-24 with the an alphabet of BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789 and it uses Schnorr signatures with a non-standard elliptic curve. I do not understand Schnorr signatures or elliptic curves right now.

    In Windows 8, the base-24 alphabet has have changed: It now includes N, which was not there before.

    It seems that between Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, minimal or even no changes happened, according to these forums. I searched for "pidgenx.dll."

    Using Licenturion's xpdec tool and comparing the output with janek2012's Ultimate PID Checker for a Windows 7 key yielded a disparity in the calculated channel ID.

    More recent versions of Windows include a so-called pkeyconfig.xrm-ms, which appears to include some information on validation and distribution channels. This file is used with the PidGenX function.

    How big are the differences between Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8?
    Assuming I understand the algorithm (which I don't, and the first part of the PidGenX export seems to be deriving a function pointer in a highly complex function), would there be more to do than getting the values from a different pkeyconfig.xrm-ms for 8, 8.1 and 10?
