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:


FAQ

What does it do?

  • This program is a tool for researching and experimenting with retro Microsoft product licensing, for products released before 2012.

How does it work?

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, Linux).
  • (GitHub account *not* required)

    • Download the latest release for your operating system and architecture from the releases page
  • 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!
