did you re-arm your system before RemoveWAT? If so how many times? Have you tried the latest version of RemoveWAT, there are 6 now!
That is odd then, maybe You downloaded a hotfix or unofficial update that messed with it or some conflicting software. No matter, your activated with Daz's loader so you should be good to go dude. Just keep an eye on your activation status to make sure it does not go back to grace period mode.
Hello all, Just a minor update. The current version, after 30 days windows will go to license 50 and you won't receive OPTIONAL updates. I have a fix for this to freeze the system in trial mode forever it just needs some tweaking.
I ran removeWAT on a friend's windows7 ultimate N and after that w7 is still not activated. seems like the process can't be reversed.
yeh mines activated but i want to reverse it as i actually havea key and the disc i was given had removewat 1.2 and so far no version i have tried can reverse the process on my 64bit ultimate
RemoveWAT don't activate windows,but remove the activation stuff,so you can use windows for unlimited time!
Hazar after the trial period is expired, MGADiag show "Invalid License" (Status code:50), so it's not geniune and also I can't download all the updates..
Any ETA Hazar?.. btw nice work Oh and also i was wondering if this apply's to the previous versions like v1.5?
Hazar, Another thing that you must over come is KB974431. Without the spp, it will fail to update. Maybe instruct the users to update KB974431 first while in genuine period. This will knock out two birds with one stone. TO All, If you are having problems uninstalling RemoveWAT, try this. 1. Uninstall RemoveWAT 2. Run the following in the admin command prompt to repair Windows. Code: sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\System32\systemcpl.dll pause Code: sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\System32\slmgr.vbs pause Code: sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\System32\sppcomapi.dll pause Code: sfc /scanfile=c:\windows\System32\en-US\user32.dll.mui pause For non-English users who are still having problems getting your watermarks back, you need to replace [ en-US ] with your language. For example [ ja-JP ] for Japanese. While you guys are at it, run [ sfc /scannow ] to make sure your Win7 is absolutely clean. For those who want your rearm back, try the "Trial Reset" in Windows 7 Loader Xtreme Edition (v3.117) by Napalum. Added: I may have solved the WAT and WU issue. It is very simple. Here is what I did. 1. Make sure Win7 is mod free. Run [SFC /SCANNOW] to make sure. 2. Install update [KB974431] if not already installed. If you don't install it now, then you will not be able to install it successfully later on until you undo #5. 3. Set your clock back to when Win7 is genuine and restart your computer. 4. If you are inside the grace period, your Win7 should be genuine. Use MGADiag to verify. (Restart again just to be safe.) 5. After a restart, go into the Services, DISABLE and STOP the [Software Protection]. 6. Set the date to the current time and restart your computer. 7. After a restart, use MGADiag to verify that Win7 is still genuine. 8. Now just do the WU and you should get ALL the updates. I am doing the updates right now and will report back if successful or not. Added: Win7x64 update was successful plus one optional language. Win7x86 update was successful plus one optional language. MISSION COMPLETE
I can confirm that this file was the free RTM given at the M$ event for Developers/IT launch over the Summer. It came with an Key that is interchangeable between 32and and 64bit .
There is no need because as far as Windows is concerned, it is genuine. That's why you get ALL the updates plus optional languages for the Ultimate Edition. As far as preinstall with the /s (thinking....) 1. I know you have to slipstream [KB974431]. 2. Sppsvc must run once to create the license files we discussed. 3. Just make a run once file to Disable/Stop sppsvc in the services after Windows successfully installed. For #2, if you disable it before the first run, Windows will go into a restart loop and unable to complete the installation. What do you think?
No box, dissasemble notepad in ollydbg. It checks the startup type of sppsvc. Disabling it causes nag screens in control panel, pain, notepad, photoviewer etc. How come it also needs to have a single update before it can be disabled? Does it create those license files then? I found that I can stop/start sppsvc all I want but windows update wont work unless it is running the first time windows does and update.
Hazar, I just opened the Control Panel, Notepad, Paint, Photo Viewer, and did a WU and no NAG or Watermarks. This is even after restarting Windows 45 days pass the grace period. (I made a shortcut to do all to get Windows activated.) Let me test it first and I will post it. I believe certain updates require checking the license files and need sppsvc to run in order to get the information. It is possible that it is making changes in the license files to update the information. I'm guessing because the license files are encrypted. The sequence of event to start/stop sppsvc is critical.
