Bypass Windows XP Activation
If you've already reloaded your Licensed Windows XP software a couple of times, Microsoft may see this as an act of stealing and therefore, not allow you to again activate your Licensed Version of Windows XP.
If this is happening to you, there is a way to activate it yourself.
How To Bypass WPA (Windows Activation) on Windows XP
Click "Run..." on your Start Menu.
Type "regedit" (without the "") in the box and press enter.
The will open the Registry Editor and display a long list of keys on the left.
Browse through the list for:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents.
On the right, you will see a stringz value named OOBETimer.
This is the activation data.
Any changes you make will be change back by Windows within a few seconds.
Whatever this value is, change it to FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F D5 33 93 FD.
This is not a unique value. It is the same for every machine activated.
After you've changed it, right-click WPAEvents and choose "Permissions..."
A window will open with a list of user names.
Click SYSTEM, and in the list below ("Permissions for SYSTEM") check every box under "Deny".
Click OK and you've activated Windows XP. (No need to even reboot).
You may find the "Permissions" section to be a bit tricky. If so follow this:
Under "Permissions..." for WPAEvents, Go into the Advanced settings.
Uncheck "Inhereit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects.
Include these with entries explicitly defined here"
When prompted what course of action to take from here, click "COPY".
From there, Highlight the SYSTEM line, and click edit.
Deny all options, apply, and run your activated Windows.
