### **Plan of Action / ToDo List**

In light of the recent exponential interest in this project I've decided to put updates of this project here:

* [Please see ticket #8 for more information](../../issues/8)


------

### **FAQ**

#### **What does it do?**

* This program allows you to generate endless Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 keys.
  You also can use it to check your already existing keys.

#### **How does it work?**

* [Enderman's XPKeygen Readme explains everything in detail.](https://github.com/Endermanch/XPKeygen)

#### **How do I use it?**

* It all comes down to four simple steps:


### **Usage**
#### 1. Download the latest version of WindowsXPKg

* *(GitHub account required)*
    * Download the latest experimental version using the Actions tab ([Windows](../../actions/workflows/windows.yml?query=branch%3Amaster), [Linux](../../actions/workflows/linux.yml?query=branch%3Amaster)).


* *(GitHub account \*not\* required)*
    * Download the latest release for your operating system and architecture from [the releases page](../../releases)


* **Note:** Before continuing, please ensure you have both the `xpkey` program and the `keys.json` datum extracted and in the same directory

#### 2. Run `xpkey` to generate a key, or add `--help` to see more options.

#### 3. *(Activation step for `Retail` and `OEM` only)*
* After installation, you will be prompted to activate Windows.


* Select the **telephone activation** method, then, run `xpkey -i <Installation ID>` using the `Installation ID` the activation Wizard provides for you

#### 4. Profit!
