In-depth Summary of Vista cracking methods (seven methods are available currently)

The following lists the methods used to crack Vista, which are arranged in the chronological order.

1. replacement method

Principle: use some system files replaced by Vista to crack Vista
Disadvantages: Missing functions and complicated operations are the first solutions, but they have been gradually abandoned.

2. kms private server activation method

Principle: it is not activated on Microsoft's official server, but on a private server. It can also be activated by setting up an activation server on the vmwarevm or by setting up an activation server on other machines in the LAN.

Advantages: there is no difference between activation and genuine software. This method is difficult for Microsoft to block.

Disadvantage: Only applicable to B (Business Edition) and E (Enterprise Edition), and will be re-activated once every six months. In addition, the private server may be unstable and may be shut down one day, but it is complicated to set up your own server.

3. timestop (time stop) Method

Principle: Vista has a 30-day trial before activation. This method loads the drive (timerstop. sys) and stops the countdown for 30 days, so that you can avoid activation and unlimited trial.

Advantages: easy to operate, can be used for U (flagship edition), no functional limitations (automatic update, dream desktop, etc. can be used)

Disadvantage: Vista is not activated. Although there is no functional limitation, it will affect the appearance of the person who pursues perfection. It is foreseeable that Microsoft will block this method after a certain upgrade (such as SP1) in the future.

Usage: We recommend that you do not enter the serial number when installing Vista, and do not select "automatically activate windows when going online ". If vistais installed, click timestop.exe on timestop.exeand run timestop.exe with the administrator ID. The computer restarts automatically to complete the cracking. Then you can run "slmgr. vbs-DLV" to verify that the countdown is stopped for 30 days.
