Hello,

Here is a link to an online magazine article about this. The article does not give instructions on how this was done or links to where you can find out. This article is given for informational purposes only. Agnitum does not support the illegal circumvention of copyright protection in order to use or reproduce stolen software or other works. And, neither do I for that matter.

This tool allows only installation SP1.

AFAIK in October Microsoft activates keys checking at "WindowsUpdate" so - any illegally generated keys will not be accepted.

Hi all, let me explain situation with XP SP1 in detailes.
MS implemented blacklist of hacked XP serial numbers in SP1, so it will not install on XP with hacked serial number.
this protection is very weak: hackers developed XP serial number keygen, and now anyone could install XP with non-blacklisted SN and would not have any problems with installing SP1, this method also solve all problems with Windows Autoupdate site, where MS will check your SN and activation status.
With such keygen, MS can not differ legal SN from illegal one.

I don't remember in which article i was read about this situation, so - i try to explain by myself.

Every time Microsoft generate key this key is added to database. So - Microsoft knows every LEGAL key!
When you generate key - this key is CORRECT (you can install SP1) but this key is not LEGAL! When you connect to WindowsUpdate site your key will be compared with database and rejected!
I don't know which way Microsoft will prefer: to install timebomb or just say message "No updates available"...

AFAIK keys checking will be started 1 Oct.
