What’s the purpose of this release?
Bypassing the product activation requirement of Microsoft Windows Vista x86.
How does it work?
Microsoft allows large hardware manufacturers (e.g. ASUS, HP, Dell) to ship their products
containing a Windows Vista installation that does NOT require any kind of product activation as this might be considered an unnecessary inconvenience for the end-user.
Instead these so-called ‘Royalty OEMs’ are granted the right to embed certain license information into their hardware products, which can be validated by Windows Vista to make obtaining further activation information (online or by phone) obsolete.
This mechanism is commonly referred to as ‘SLP 2.0′ (’system-locked pre-installation 2.0′) and consists of the following three key elements:
1. The OEM’s hardware-embedded BIOS ACPI_SLIC information signed by Microsoft.
2. A certificate issued by Microsoft that corresponds to the specific ACPI_SLIC information.
The certificate is an XML file found on the OEM’s installation/recovery media,
ususally called something like ‘oemname.xrm-ms’.
3. A special type of product key that corresponds to the installed edition of Windows Vista.
This key can usually be obtained from some installation script found on the OEM’s
installation/recovery media or directly from a pre-installed OEM system.
If all three elements match Windows Vista’s licensing mechansim considers the given
installation a valid system-locked pre-activated copy (that does not require any
additional product activation procedures).
So the basic concept of the tool at hand is to present any given BIOS ACPI_SLIC information to Windows Vista’s licensing mechanism by means of a device driver.
In combination with a matching product key and OEM certificate this allows for rendering any system practically indistinguishable from a legit pre-activated system shipped by the respective OEM.
How do I use it?
Preliminary hint:
Most operations described below require elevated privileges, so disabling UAC (Run->MSCONFIG.EXE->Tools->Disable UAC) for the time being is recommended, Of course, it can be safely re-enabled after all steps have been performed. Otherwise OEMTOOL.EXE and some SLMGR.VBS operations must be explicitly run with adminstrative privileges.
1. Install the Windows Vista x86 edition of your choice without entering any product key during setup. Basically any Windows Vista x86 installation media will do, regardless if it’s MSDN/Retail/OEM/…, MSDN/Retail are recommended though.
2. Install the emulation driver.
Run OEMTOOL.EXE, select the OEM BIOS information to emulate (ASUS might be a good choice given the fact that it’s the only OEM for which a complete set of product keys is provided 
) and hit the ‘<Install Emulation Driver>’ button.
Alternatively you can just right-click the ROYAL.INF file and chose ‘Install’ from the appearing menu. This only allows for installing the default OEM BIOS information (ASUS) though and is strongly discouraged unless OEMTOOL.EXE fails for some unknown reason.
When prompted about whether to install an unsigned driver, allow it. (For some odd reason Microsoft didn’t wanna sign this one…;))
3. Reboot your machine.
4. Install the OEM certificate matching your OEM selection during driver installation by running
SLMGR.VBS -ilc <OEMNAME>.XRM-MS
(e.g. “SLMGR.VBS -ilc C:\ASUS.XRM-MS” if you chose to install the default driver and extracted the certificate file to C:\)
Note that this operation might take quite a while depending on your system, so be patient.
5. Install an OEM product key matching the installed edition of Windows Vista x86 by running
SLMGR.VBS -ipk <OEM_PRODUCT_KEY>
(e.g. “SLMGR.VBS -ipk 6F2D7-2PCG6-YQQTB-FWK9V-932CC” if you’re running Windows Vista Ultimate using the default emulation driver)
Note that this operation might take quite a while depending on your system, so be patient.
See PKEYS.TXT for a list of OEM product keys published by different OEMs.
6. Run ‘SLMGR.VBS -dlv’ or right-click ‘Computer’ and chose ‘Properties’ to verify your licensing status.
Due to the variety of possible combinations of different earlier Vista activation hacks we’re not gonna provide details on ‘persuading’ existing installations to accept this method.
During our test the general procedure depicted above worked out fine though, i.e. installing the emulation driver, rebooting the machine and then using the officially documented ways of installing a matching OEM certificate and product key should do the trick in all but the most messed up cases.
What’s that ‘<Dump OEM BIOS Information>’ button in OEMTOOL.EXE for?
It dumps the BIOS ACPI_SLIC information of any SLP 2.0-enabled OEM system.
The dump can consecutively be used to emulate (‘clone’) that information on any other system by specifying the ‘Custom’ option. Using this function on a system booted using the emulation driver will give a dump identical to the currently emulated OEM BIOS information, so be sure to uninstall the driver and reboot the source machine first if you intend to dump the actual hardware-embedded OEM BIOS data.
What are all those files for?
- DIFXAPI.DLL - a runtime dll for Microsoft’s DIFx API used by oemtool.exe
- OEMTOOL.EXE - an application for installing/uninstalling the emulation driver and dumping BIOS ACPI_SLIC information from any SLP 2.0-enabled Windows Vista OEM system
- PKEYS.TXT - contains a list of validated OEM product keys
- ROYAL.INF - driver .INF file, can be (ab)used to install the emulation driver in case oemtool.exe fails to perform this task
- ROYAL.SYS - the emulation device driver
- CERTS\ACER.XRM-MS - the certificate that corresponds to the ACPI_SLIC information emulated by the driver when ‘Acer’ has been selected during driver installation
- CERTS\ASUS.XRM-MS - the certificate that corresponds to the ACPI_SLIC information emulated by the driver when ‘ASUS’ has been selected during driver installation
- CERTS\HEWLETT-PACKARD.XRM-MS - the certificate that corresponds to the ACPI_SLIC information emulated by the driver when ‘Hewlett-Packard’ has been selected during driver installation
- CERTS\LENOVO.XRM-MS - the certificate that corresponds to the ACPI_SLIC information emulated by the driver when ‘Lenovo’ has been selected during driver installation

vista sucks. bought the OEM version and after a week went back to XP. Runs too slowly on my BRAND NEW dual core computer. Why bother? for some visual effects and toys nobody REALLY needs.
Don’t buy, don’t install, don’t crack it.
Stick to XP. Spend your cash on hardware that you will actually benefit from (For running Vista you will need much more).

People hated XP for at least 18 months when that came out. Now the same crowd hate Vista cos they don’t know how to use it properly. This is excellent work from Paradox as usual. Vista works great for me on a AMD Athlon 64 3200, 1GB DDR400, 200 GB Maxtor. Obviously not as fast as XP, but if you want a low performance OS that doesn’t use resources try Win 98! OS’s DO use resources. And in Vista you can disable all the visual themes which will improve performance. The biggest prob with Vista isn’t MS, it’s the manufacturers not releasing good drivers. The only pain in the ass from MS is that the 64 bit version insists on signed drivers, which simply aren’t out there yet! But the 32 bit Ultimate is fine for now. Packed with good features, and tricks!

:neutral: Hello i have just figured it out on how you can get the ultimate edition without buying that edition you can get this by what i will tell you. Here it is the steps.
1.Buy the cheapest edition of windows vista for a example purchase Windows Vista Home Premium Academic upgrade.
2. Find a product key on a file sharing network that works in the setup then once you have a product key.
3.Run the setup program make sure you if it asks for a product key enter it now and make sure when you click next it chooses with edition is right for that key you got from a file sharing program.
4.Make sure you read the terms and conditions for ultimate edition then click next now you can choose upgrade or custom install i have done this by custom install instead of upgrade option but i havent tried that option at all with this trick.
5.Once you clicked on Custom option choose where u want to install windows vista ultimate edition then when you choose the partation drive click next once you highlight it and wait till then setup is complete.
6. Once complete setup now you will see the welcome screen.
7. Make sure you go to your system section in the control panel then click on system then click on where the activate windows is you have 3 days to activate this you must activate this before you restart your computer or you may stuff up your computer but i did this for the first time after setup and it asked me to purchase a new key or change the key.
7. So instead of these options i clicked on telephone activation and selected my country once you do that you will have a telephone number and your id numbers below.
8.Dial your number that the country you choosed to activate your product and follow the prompts. enter the id numbers on the screen once you have listened to your prompts next you must wait microsoft might say that your product key already is been used but press 1 after it says that msg when it finishes that prompt and give them the first 6 digit numbers then they will ask how many computers have you installed this product say one and give them the reason why and tell them that you had hardware problems then they will give you your new numbers to enter in the box below.
9.Click next and finish now you can use the ultimate edition for windows vista and now your computer is now genuine.
Everytime you to reinstall this to get ultimate edtion for free follow these options above all the time.
Publish this privately.
Thankyou

I’ve read lots of places of people calling up Microsoft activation support with blacklisted product keys and Microsoft actually giving them valid activation codes.
Is this the best kept Vista Activation secret or just a fluke?
Anyhow, VISTA ROCKS!! (on the right hardware and with the right software updates)

I too had that problem when using the Paradox Crack (I haven’t tried the auto-activator) after I installed drivers for my motherboard (nVidia’s reference Vista drivers for the GigaByte nforce4 SLI Intel Edition). Vista recognized all the hardware except for the sound card and SMBus. After installing the SMBus driver I get the same blue screen as you; going into safe-mode and doing a system restore to before I installed the driver fixes the issue. I’ve been using Winbeta.org’s install disc, I’m gonna try to use a legit OEM disc and the auto-activator.

I reinstalled Vista using an OEM disc and as long as I don’t install the SMBus driver everything is fine. If you’re feeling adventurous their is a guide on how to modify your BIOS to include the OEM SLA info; that way you don’t have to emulate the BIOS at all.

HERE’S the solution-i just copied and pasted. it worked for me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
http://www.digg.com/software/W....._and_CLoNY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I get a BSOD, but I found a fix:
“The BSOD error is caused by the Update from Microsoft named Nforce4 PCI-Express Root Port (also included in Nvidia drivers).
1. If you got the BSOD, find a way (safemode or dualboot) to rename the file in windowssystem32driversroyal.sys to royal2.sys
2. Your should not get the BSOD the next time you restart.
Go to Control panel -> Device Manager.
3. Under System Devices you should see the Nforce4 PCI-Express Root Port.
4. Right-click and choose Properties.
5. Under the Driver tab choose Roll Back Driver.
6. BEFORE you restart rename windowssystem32driversroyal2.sys back to royal.sys
7. Restart now and it should be activated!”

I too am getting the BSOD error on my P5N32-SLI Premium board and I can’t fix it. I run the crack and restart and get the BSOD. So I boot to safemode rename the file to royal2.sys then restart and it boots to windows perfect but is not activated. I roll back the driver in windows and rename the file back to royal.sys and it has a verification to rename it with the cracked copy and I select continue. I restart the computer and it’s still BSOD royal.sys. Is there something I’m missing or can I get a little more detail on how to do this?

so if u r using any oem bios emulation crack, don’t install the nforce 4-sli chipset drivers
u can install the graphic card drivers

Hello,
While installing Windows Vista in my Hp machine during the process of installation of vista, the system restarts and then it gives a blue screen error notification stating that it is trying to read ROM memory and it encountered an error while reading the file Royal.sys. At this stage if I restart the machine and press F9 it takes me to the menu and if i chose ( load with last known best configuration) then vista installs.However it installs a limited version.
I have installed the same vista ( fully cracked) version from the same cd to other pc’s as well and all those pc’s have got a full version Vista.
Could any one help me in installing to my HP laptop.
Thanks.!!

This worked great for me. I had tried a different crack with similar approach, but was never able to get it to work. When I used this one, I installed as ultimate, did not enter key code at install, unchecked activate when connected to internet, and installed vista. Then I did NOT do any windows updates, and I turned off UAC. Next, I ran oemtool and then followed instructions as provided. I was running on Dell Dimension 2300. First time I used Asus (default) but it didn’t work. Next I uninstalled, rebooted and installed as Hewlett-Packard. It worked!!! Thanks to all who wrote this hack! You are all geniuses in my book
Now shows as activated in computer properties windows.

Well I was able to get this working, of course it didnt work as described. Long story short, I did everything by the numbers but my properties window indicated that it would still expire, I decided to activate once again (as a long shot) and would you believe it? The activation worked this time.
Good work paradox!

For any/all wit NVidia chipsets sing the Paradox Activator…
Use the drivers that come with your motherboard CD, or whatever vista FIRST installs.
The BSODs will come if you install the UPDATED driver (in my case, specifically the NVidia nForce PCI System Management driver) – PS – this driver is listed in the updates as OPTIONAL, so I saw no reason to use it anyways.
I have installed ALL other drivers and updates, and the system is BSOD Free!
Hope this helps everyone!

Hi everyone, is there an activator out there that can activate VISTA Ultimate on an nforce5 mobo (royal.sys BSOD)? I need the nforce drivers coz im gonna use the ntune software from nvidia.
BTW my Vista is activated, however mobo drivers are not installed just to stay away from BSOD (royal.sys). I Hope there is a new Activator available
Thanks!

I am running a Windows Vista Ultimate. And crack it with Paradox. Everything was fine. I also updated the Vista with SP1. Everything went well too. But just now, a Windows Activation window suddenly showed up and said that the product key is invalid for activation. And it leaves me with 3 choices : buy a new product key; type a different product key; contact microsoft. I have also checked slmgr -dlv and it is written unlicensed. Help me please. I am afraid to turn the computer off now because I am afraid I can’t log on again. Help please.. Sorry for my bad English. Thanks..

First, regards and best wishes to PARADOX team. Really good job. The best idea, the best method and the BEST crack I have ever used.
But, since they release this crack I didn’t heard any further information from them. I hope they are still working on this project, fixing current problems with BSOD and releasing x64 compatible version. But also I’m afraid that Bill Gates used his power and richness to hire professional killers to find and kill all PARADOX members.
When they release this tool, I try it immediately and activation was 100% successful. Shiny blue “ask for genuine Microsoft software” logo appears without problem. I used it on my, 4 years old, no name/brand desktop PC. Configuration is: ASUS A7N8X-X deluxe motherboard with nForce2 chipset, AMD Athlon 2600+, 512 MB Ram, 80 GB Maxtor. Now, I’m studing outside my country and using Acer Aspire 4520 notebook (based on AMD and nVidia). I tried to install Vista from the same DVD and I got BSOD for the first time. Fortunetly, I found a solution. First I guess, but it seems, that my laptop already has Acer’s hardware-embedded BIOS ACPI_SLIC information signed by Microsoft so I don’t need to emulate it using “OEMTool.exe”. I just done step 4 (install OEM certificate) and thats it. I also try to complete step 5 to change the product key to Acer Home Premium: 2TYBW… because during setup I used ASUS Ultimate: 6F2D7… (I thought it wouldn’t work) but I get error. So guys, all of you who owned ASUS, Acer, HP or Lenovo. Your machine is probably SLP 2.0-enabled Windows Vista OEM system. You shouldn’t care about your nForce motherboard. Install Vista using key provided by PARADOX. I think it doesn’t matter which key you are using because I use ASUS key on Acer notebook. Install appropriate certificate and you are done.

Hi. I used the paradox crack before and it worked perfectly, software license status said “licensed”. It was okay for a while then, when I checked again, the countdown restarted. I kept autoupdate off and never installed any updates. Now, I can’t get the crack to work again. Can anyone help, please? Thanks.

I got that same Error! You need to make sure that the Certificate (located in the CERTS Folder) is in the C:\ Directory, in order for it to work correctly. So if you downloaded the files, and the ASUS.XMS file isn’t in the C:\ Directory, then that is why you are getting that error!
Hope this helps!
Thanks Paradox!!!

Uninstall all Nvidia drivers including graphics and ethernet using Programs and Features on Control Panel. Reboot and BSOD is gone. Now reinstall just the graphics and ethernet. Reboot. No need to rename royal.sys workaround.

Ntune or now commonly called Nvidia System Tools don’t affect the drivers that cause that PCI update error. You can go ahead and try it out, I was similarly hesitant to use it but it’s royal.sys error free.

Some people claim that the program leads to errors. Which could be true. I know that Dell Computers ship with a Vista version which you can install on whatever system. The Vista version on the DVD is somehow pre-activated with some sort of company key. The key is even different from that one stated on the label on the computer.

People astound me…. I own two copies of Vista Home Premium, one copy of XP Pro and two copies of XP home but All of my five boxes run hacked Windows versions (4 x Vista Ultimate 64Bit & 1 x Windows Home Server). It has nothing to do with affordability, I personally like to think that I should pay for my OS’s so that Software manufacturers can at least continue producing stuff for people to hack!! Again, I own a legitimate copy of Windows for each of my boxes that are all retail versions, it’s just the right thing to do. If you don’t feel it nescessary to purchase them then don’t but before you decide to install a hacked copy of Windows, maybe you should try a free OS; Linux types for instance, I’ve also used many different flavors of Linux with great success.
The above suggested Activation bypass shouldn’t even be considered a hack being that it is standard practice by OEM builders, instead look at it like this; I own a legit copy of Vista that I have already had installed and activated, now I need to replace my Hard Drive but can’t be bothered to go through the nightmare of re activation (Remember the days of XP activation, the internet automatic activation never took so you had to call and feel like a criminal the entire time you were trying to get your legit XP activated, what a pain), Vista has yet to give me this same type of trouble the 10 or so times I have reinstalled a legit copy of Vista Home Premium but the memories are still there.
As for the folks that claim Vista’s 64Bit editions are garbage or problem filled, I urge you to give it a go now, there have been great strides to make it more useable in the past year or so and I have yet to run into any major problems on any of my machines; three of them being at least three years old. The hardware support is there by way of drivers and 64Bit even offers the flexibility to install and run 32Bit applications without fail

There’s a way to reset the password and it doesn’t involve reformatting and reinstalling Windows.
The program that I recommend is the Windows Password Key 8.0, it is very easy to create a
recovery disk that you can use on any Windows PC. It works perfectly to reset any local user account to a blank password. Just an easy to use bootable CD/DVD . It can also be used on a USB Flash Drive. http://www.lostwindowspassword.com/

forgot windows password? The first thing which you check if you forget login password. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account “Administrator” and sets its password to blank. So if you have forget Your user account password then try this:
Start system and when you See Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it’ll show Classic Login box. Now type “Administrator” (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.
Now you can reset your account password from “Control Panel -> User Accounts”.
Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.
Windows XP and further versions also provide another method to recover forgotten Password by using “Reset Disk”. If you created a Password Reset Disk in Past, you can use that disk to reset the password.
Or you can use windows password recovery tool to reset windows password.
