WPA_kill Pl0x? - cannedpeahes - 08-10-2008
I understand this kind of works in a grey area in the DMCA, so if you decide it's more black than white, Scotty, you can lock it or delete it. I've been trying to get Windows working on my computer again but they're giving me flak about activation and I'd rather bypass the whole hassle if at all possible. All the copies of wpa_kill that I could find on Pirate Bay are infected one way or another so I thought it would be best if I came here.
So if anybody can gimme the sauce of a clean WPA_kill file or host it themselves, I'd give you awesome sexy-time. Thanks.

Nah, I think it's good. However if you have links to stuff, please PM it to peaches.
Have you called MS tech support? I ran into a similar issue a few years back when I had a corrupt hard drive and installed XP a few times to many apparently, but when I called tech support they had no problem helping me out.

Awesome cool. I haven't talked to MS recently, but last time I had a similar problem - this happens a lot to me, fuck karma - I was on the line for four hours only to be told that I had activated the one key too much. I'd rather not do it again.

WPA?
Re: WPA_kill Pl0x? - ScottyGrayskull - 08-10-2008
That's weird. My issue was also that I activated it too much within a short time. Don't remember how long I waited on hold, but it was like a 5 minute conversation. I told them the message it gave me, they asked me for a few bits of information, I think they gave me something to input, and then all was well. Maybe they've changed their policies since Vista came out though.

i was activating my key too much and the box told me i coulndt use it anymore. i didnt feel like calling MS support, but my copy hasnt been deactivated yet...
Re: WPA_kill Pl0x? - s0lesurviv0r - 08-11-2008
Sorry, noob question, how many times can you use a vista activation code?

Windows Product Activation. WPA_Kill is a cracked .exe that one of the more prominent groups released a while back that, whenever Windows XP installations were forcing people to authenticate their copies online and those people were having trouble, you could run it and it would alter the system files to post-activation versions of the same files.
As I understand it.
Re: WPA_kill Pl0x? - jorge - 08-11-2008
Just get a student edition install disc. Zero activation.
Re: WPA_kill Pl0x? - cannedpeahes - 08-11-2008
Yeah, that's money I don't want to spend if I can help it, though...
Re: WPA_kill Pl0x? - Budr - 08-11-2008
The whole activation thing's such a joke. Last year I upgraded my mobo, CPU and graphics card in one hit and Windows just acted as if nothing had happened then last month I threw in an extra gig of RAM and it shit a brick and started screaming at me to reactivate.

Ah. I was thinking 'Wi-Fi Protected Access'. Was scratching my head as to why you wanted a tool that effected a wireless authentication protocol.
I just copy the license stickers off PC's at work, and activate as usual. HP's come with regular 2002 build keys, while Dells have some funky special verison.

Really? I had to activate mine...
Although that might just be a standard edition that they sold for cheap at the university. *shrugs*

Same here. I just checked my disc, and it definitely says Student on it, but it could be that the earlier/later editions don't need activation (mine says June 2006).
Re: WPA_kill Pl0x? - Ianki - 08-11-2008
as a general rule, copies that are "acquired" from "friends" don't normally have activation on them. Or so my experience has been.
but if you have a clean copy, just fuckin' call MS, no need to pirate or crack if you don't have to dude.
Re: WPA_kill Pl0x? - cannedpeahes - 08-11-2008
Mine is a clean copy, but my experience with MS has been bad and I'd rather just kill it altogether.

Perhaps.
I know Microsoft.Windows.XP.Professional.Student.Edition.SP3.Integrated-ETH0 is coolbeans though.
