Windows 8/2012 sideloading crack

I managed to disable Windows store signature checks and spoof license responses from microsoft

I change license type from Trial to Full, delete expiry date and force WSService to save it into tokens.dat
But I don't know how to test if applications actually expire.

Even if I do no modifications to license - changing system date does not expire them.
I need any application where I can reproduce trial effects, may be some feature locks.

Anyone know such app ?

Yes, hydro thunder is one of such apps. Unfortunately, simply changing type to Full cause error.
I suppose some additional information should be present in the license when app is bought.
I need to gather larger statistics.

 

For curious guys I post protocol capture of licensing requests.
You can see yourself WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION IS SENT TO MICROSOFT.
Some personal data - computer name, system manufacturer.

This is very good.
I confirmed my idea - by hijaqing cryptography API it is possible to void almost anything that rely on RSA signatures and uses standard cryptoapi.
My technique with application license spoofing works. At least on some apps - I found some apps been able to successfully unlock from trial.
Now i'm gonna write some useful functionality - file logging and docs - and then post it here for testing
It will work on anything - even on core edition

Then, it will be very intereseting to me to tamper with sppsvc.
Who knows, may be it will do the magic. You will need to disable sppsvc no more. It will eat anything from ppdlic

 

Updated version 1.1 is here (see the first post for downloading URL)

 

After numerous experiments I have discovered how microsoft track win8
devices in their store.
This information can be used to reset all trials and make microsoft
see your device as new - never seen before - without reinstalling windows.

To install something from windows store you need to enter your liveID.
Microsoft under your liveid keep track about everything you have ever installed,
license status - full,trial,expiration date.
If you move to another device and enter the same liveid - license sync occurs.
If you install a trial app , uninstall it, enter another liveid and
try to install it again - windows store says "you have installed this
app on this computer before" and prohibit installation. Installation
is possible if trial is not expired and you use the same liveid
you first used to acquire trial license on this device.
Furthermore, If you even reinstall windows and try to use your previous liveid
store will prohibit installation.

Reasonable question arises. How microsoft track your device.
I know exactly how. It tracks MachineID GUID.
On clean windows there's no MachineID.
First time you install any appliation from windows store MachineID is created.
If you use you previous liveid microsoft query their database for hardwareid
presented by your windows store application.
If it finds something similar it return previous MachineID with all logical
consequences. Store will not allow you try and try the app endlessly using different LiveIDs
on the same machine.
MachineID associacion is supposed to be one time and forever.
It is never supposed to change.
Idea here NOT TO USE YOUR PREVIOUS LIVEID.
If no MachineID is associated to the device and you use clean livid
microsoft has no way to associate your device with something from their
database. MS does not verify your IP. It also assumes there may be
many computers with the same hardwareid. The only piece of information
that help to track you is your LiveID.

Second question is. Is it possible to remove MachineID without reinstalling ?
The answer is YES.
MachineID is stored under registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\39EEE4D3-6EBB-4C0A-8CBC-421AB72D114E-1

Once created this key cannot be deleted. It is protected by windows kernel.
But it is still posible to delete it.
You must boot from windows installation disk. Press shift+F10 and you will
get command prompt. Run regedit. Place cursor on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE node.
Map SYSTEM hive from your windows installation.
Common location is D:\windows\system32\config\system.
Remove
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\<mapping node>\WPA\39EEE4D3-6EBB-4C0A-8CBC-421AB72D114E-1.
Then boot to your windows installation.
Go to windows store settings and sign out from your current liveid.
Enter there clean liveid. (I suppose you dont use LiveID for windows logon - its very bad idea !)
First time you install an app you'll get new MachineID.
And you will also be able to try all trial apps again.
Microsoft will give you trial licenses because it thinks you are new customer.

Format of stored machine ID :

<Machine>
<Registration>
<MachineID>12345678-cbd7-414b-c217-edb5660512ae</MachineID>
<HardwareID>XAAAABMALgAAAAEAAwABAAEAAAABAAAAAQABAAEA+l6kPOeDJGbmt/7biAR26Hb5GDEAHA0AAgABAQACBQADAQAEAgAFAAAGAQAHAAAIBwAJAwAKAQALAAAMBwA=</HardwareID>

It is signed by microsoft and verified by WSService on its startup.
WSServiceCrk also removes signature checks from MachineID - it removes ALL signature checks from WSService.
You can tamper with MachineID. But if you change it manually and remove
WSServiceCrk - WSService will not be able to verify signature and may fail.
Better to delete it and request new ID. MS will sign it for you.


Also it is desired to delete
"C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Packages\WinStore_cw5n1h2txyewy\AC\Microsoft\Windows Store\*"
while Windows Store client is not running.
It keeps there some local cache about trial expiration.

 

Guyz !! Victory !!

I discovered how to feed licenses to wsservice without store client.
WSClient.dll!WSLicenseInstallLicense
It works !

Some apps are preinstalled with windows 8. They have OEM licenses such as:

<License Version="1" Source="OEM" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:windows:store:licensing:ls">
<Binding Binding_Type="Machine">
<ProductID>16db93bf-8748-449a-96ba-e9ed3a5f872d</ProductID>
<PFM>Microsoft.ZuneMusic_8wekyb3d8bbwe</PFM>
</Binding>
<LicenseInfo Type="Full">
<IssuedDate>2012-07-14T01:24:20Z</IssuedDate>
<LastUpdateDate>2012-07-14T01:24:20Z</LastUpdateDate>
</LicenseInfo>
</License>


It is possible to change ProductID and PFM and import license for any product.
Appxes can be easily downloaded from winstore. Use fiddler to find URL.

Having

1) Appx
2) WSServiceCrk
3) Bogus OEM license
4) my WSService license loader

it is possible to install any metro app even withoug internet connection.

Redistribution via torrents is possible !

I need some time to prepare release. And it starts. Torrentz for metro appz

 

Here we go. I'm rewriting first post.

 

I prepared some packages with games.
I'll post them on a torrent tracker. Tomorrow. Now is too late where I am.
