How to : Bypass Windows Genuine Advantage Check on Windows XP

Sponsored Links

Windows XP LogoA brief guide on how to bypass Windows Genuine Advantage check on Windows XP.

It took basically 5 minutes to figure out how to bypass this check. However, Microsoft can change his server part of the check in order to block this.

Updated: Since this page become popular on search engine, I’m now include the procedures to bypass Windows Genuine Advantage check here.

Here’s the procedure as it works (28 July 2005):

1. Block the ActiveX execution.
2. Choose the alternate method and download the GenuineCheck.exe

Bypass Windows Genuine Advantage Check

3. Right-click this executable and go the compatibilty tab.
4. Set the compatibily mode to Windows 2000.

Bypass Windows Genuine Advantage Check

5. Run GenuineCheck.exe.
6. Paste the code returned in the Browser.
7. Your windows would now have been validatest and off you go.

You can download Windows Validation Tool (GenuineCheck.exe) from here.

Update: for new visitors, above trick is no longer work. Please read through the comment below and try suggested bypass steps from others. From now on, I’ll try to mirror all of the recommended files, so incase the original file has lost, you can still download it here. Note that I DIDN’T check the files personally, so make sure you scan it for viruses before you try it.

    May be everyone’s asking this- How do you remove the WGA stuff?

    Mike says:

    I did a google search of this problem about 6 months ago and was able to remove the WGA nag at that time by removing a file in the windows system 32 folder. I believe it was called something like wga.dll or wgachk.dll. Good luck.

    eestlane says:

    These tricks only patch Windows and also they aren`t 100% truthful. You have to fix basic problem: your CD-key is banned or not valid. To fix this problem you have to change CD-key. Thatway I have posted 4 tools to make your Windows GENUINE. It works 100% (OK , maybe not 100% because microsoft may has changed his security system, I don`t know if he has done that) Anyway I was able to make my Windows XP VALID. ) So if you decide to try this solution , download windows.rar from this site: http://rapidshare.com/files/32959804/windows.rar

    Yes, I can confirm it.

    Works great!!!!

    I was pretty skeptical but didn’t have any problems.

    To whoever wrote this, you’re the greatest!!!!!!

    DocJRoberts says:

    Here’s a thought… download the tool, GenuineCheck.exe as normal… and run it on a computer that DOES have genuine windows… take the code from that and paste into the computer w/out genuine windows. You just have to have a legit computer or a friend with a legit computer :-)

    Jaymz says:

    Just to confirm… the Genuine XP Patch (available above) worked like a charm…

    Mr_C says:

    Like the Jaymz said.. the Genuine XP Patch (available above) worked like a charm…

    Marcus says:

    What did the guy meant by, “Make sure the ‘Microsoft Windows’ tab is open”. Was it that tab on the keyfinder, isn’t it already there? Is it possible to actually close it? Anyway, couldn’t get any of them to work. I clicked the “Change” button after putting the new XP Pro VLK serial number in, but no pop-ups. It just doesn’t work. This thing was last updated on 11/18/06, doesn’t anyone have anything more recent?

    Buzz9 says:

    EVERYONE!!!

    Microsoft is searching these files on every Windows OS.
    If you still have the file (WGAcrack) on your pc, delete it. Don’t worry, your pc will be still legal.

    If they find YOU, your pc will be illegal again and you won’t be able to download it again. The only thing you can do is buy a legal product key.

    You can also reinstall windows with WGAcrack in the disk package (needs to be xp SP2!).

    I hope you will delete the file to prevent trouble.

    Chaja,

    i have a strange problem i have a genuine key but my cd consists of xp sp1. If i install that i’ll have to update all the way up to sp2 and further more.
    Now i got xp sp2 cd from a friend but its pirated.
    My question is that is there any way to apply my valid key to this pirated copy. I have alrady tried microsofts key changer but it does not work any more they say that the key is already activated before and cant be activated twice.
    Plz help :(

    I did the whole process…changed the product key, but the diagnostic tool say “Validation Control is not installed”…..and I can’tinstall the wga trought WinUpdate

  63. 63
    Bhups says:

    NikkItaly you dont have to install the wga. When you want to download something, use the alternate method of checking which requires you to download and run GenuineCheck. Do it and you will get a code. Put that code where it asks you and you can start downloading. Thats how I’ve used it. Works like a charm.

    ericdog says:

    *** BEWARE **** CAUTION**** trojans in files.

    I agree with vucko. I downloaded the genuinexp.net.tc files and the 3rd one has a keylogger and other spyware in it. It was detected by mcafee, so I deleted the lot and have used genuanewindowspatcher.rar with no problem, as it is clean and has NO trojans in it.
