According to Genuine Windows blog, the Windows Activation Technologies Update for Windows 7, this update will detect more than 70 known and potentially dangerous activation cracks or exploits. Activation exploits are now and then called “hacks”, and try to bypass or compromise Windows’ activation technologies. The blog post further explains how the KB971033 update will work: Once installed, the Update protects clients by identifying known activation exploits that may affect their PC experience. If any activation exploits are found, Windows will alert the client and offer choices for settling the issue – in a good deal of cases, with just a few clicks. Machines running authenti Windows 7 software with no activation exploits will see not one thing – the update runs quietly in the background protecting your system. If Windows 7 is non-genuine, the notifications built into Windows 7 will inform the client that Windows is not authenti by displaying informational dialog boxes with choices for the client to either get more information, or acquire authenti Windows. The desktop wallpaper will be swopped to a plain desktop (all of the customer’s desktop icons, gadgets, or pinned apps stay in place). Periodic reminders and a persistent desktop watermark act as further alerts to the customer. Other that activation cracks and exploits, the main controversy of the KB971033 is that the update will “call home” to Microsoft each 90 days initially. The callback to the Microsoft’s activation server serves as an further and added layer of periodic validation, which allows that WAT scheme to download latest and modified signatures that are employed to tell apart new activation exploits in order to verify and determine whether the Windows 7 installed on a PC is authenti or pirated, and take respective activenesses to alter the user experience and conduct of the PC if the WAT decides that the scheme is not authenti or the right way authenticated, even altho the system is still activated at the point of the time. In short, KB971033 update for Windows 7 activation and validation scheme may not be the exploit detector itself, but just a introduction of mechanism with capacity to establish authentication validation connections to central servers to download piracy signatures database from Microsoft as and when necessitated in order to combat new activation cracks or methods. By doing so, Microsoft may dynamically update WAT system, rather release finish update for WAT again in future. Luckily for pirated Windows 7 users, KB971033 Windows Activation Technologies update is optional and voluntary. It’s marked as Important update in Windows Update, and user may choose not to install the update. Initially, it will be rolled out to Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise editions. It will have to be available to all Windows 7 and Windows Vista schemes in the end. After installed, user may still uninstall the KB971033 easily, however, once the scheme is flagged as fraudulent, not genuine, pirated or illegal, it will stay so in spite of the update is got rid of or uninstalled. In fact, KB971033 Update for Windows Activation Technologies have been leaked to Internet for everybody’s download since early February, and long discussion thread on My Digital Life forums has been debating on how far the update will go to invalidate and deactivate respective cracks and hacks for Windows 7 such as loaders (softmod) and BIOS-mod (hardmod). As the update depends on online update for new signature, which does not seem to active or go live yet, so the actual effect of the update is not yet known. Most do notwithstanding agree, based on Microsoft’s track records on WGA update on Vista platform, that the WATU (WAT Update package) will largely deal with activation cracks which modify the activation or licensing files, such as Chew-WGA and RemoveWAT Win7 activation crack, and a heap of other “derivative” cracks and exploits that may include virus or Trojan horse (hence the comprehensible statement for 70 odd exploits available in the wild). The update will try to fix core licensing system files that have been tampered with, disabled, got rid of or changed illegally, which efficaciously disable the activation hack. For user who wants to install KB971033 update to verify the legitimacy of the Windows 7 system, it may be downloaded thru the download links below: 32-bit (x86): Windows6.1-KB971033-x86.msu ————————————————————- The hack works to “activate” Windows 7 by bypassing activation altogether, and thence does not require any product key. Previously in Windows Vista, the try to permenantly bypass Windows Vista activation by stopping activation grace amount of time countdown timer has been not successful and foiled by Microsoft with anti-crack update. In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, hackers undertake to block access of Windows Activation Technologies, comprising of SPP (Software Protection Platform) and SLC (Software Licensing Client), which manages and handles licensing and activation matters on the operating scheme to the core constituents or files which are required for it is operation. By blocking, preventing, removing and disabling access to or loading of the activation and licensing related scheme files, SLUI will fail to start, causing activation been circumvented and Windows does not need to be activated anymore, for everlastingly and permanently. For example, the commands that been applied to restrict access to Windows Activation Technologies (WAT) scheme files are: takeown /F %WINDIR%System32sppcomapi.dll Where sppcomapi.dll is the library which controls most of the SPP functions, so nullifying this DLL disables all activation and licensing related functions. And as the activation functionality is disabled completely, the activation grace amount of time (for free evaluation) does not matter anymore, though it may still carry on to counting down to 0 days. The crack is possible in all probability due to leniency permitted on the percentage of Microsoft on activation mechanism to keep away from getting too a lot of false-positive or complaint on activation error. However, by disabling and turning off the activation element of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, after the free trial evaluation activation free amount of time of 30 days is expired, nag screen to notify and remind user to run authenti Windows and activate Windows 7 may appear from balloon tip at notification scheme tray, or when launching to run NotePad, WordPad, Calculator or even when opening Control Panel. Besides, there may be desktop watermark of this copy of Windows is not authenti appearing at four corners of the screen, and scheme cannot pass WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) validation which requires prior to install non-critical updates from Windows Update and some sure programs in Windows 7, such as Microsoft Security Essentials. Thus, respective hackers have came up with tools or utilities which deals with all “side-effects” that follow after activation scheme in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 is disabled and removed, so that Windows OS will proceed to operate as it will have to (no automatic log off or shutdown), no nagging pop-up messages, no use authenti Windows or activate Windows now notification dialog box, and most importantly, pass WGA validation and permanently no product key required to activate the system. Currently, two leading Windows 7 non-loader crack is RemoveWAT and Chew-WGA. Both tools initially get started with dissimilar approach, but have since employed rather similar crack method, as bugs are came upon and fixed. Another crack tool, Win7X Genuine Updates (Win7XGU) does not completely automate the routine by calling for users to carry out assorted steps to get authenti status, further signifies how difficult for hackers to tamper with Windows licensing system. RemoveWAT RemoveWAT, devised by Hazar and nononsence is a Windows 7 crack that completely removes Windows Activation Technologies from the system so that users may validate the illegal pirated copies of Windows 7 as authenti status (some reported as “Tampered Binary” in MGADiag due to patching), for a limitless time and permanently. RemoveWAT supports both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) and all editions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. RemoveWAT, which has been refreshed to RemoveWAT v1.9, also stops sppsvc service and patches DLL files such as slwga.dll, sppcomapi.dll and systemcpl.dll, where the last one removes the whole Windows activation section from the Control Panel’s System Properties. RemoveWAT likewise aid silent install with /s switch, and may be integrated to Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 installation DVD. Chew-WGA Chew-WGA is a similar Windows 7 crack which is designed to test the security resistance of respective software protections built into Windows 6.1.x operating systems. It works by restraining sure parts of the software shelter platform. Other than restricting access to sppcomapi.dll file, Chew-WGA also patches a lot of SPP related files. Chew-WGA, which presently modified to Chew-WGA v0.9, will make the scheme to return activated status, and Windows is activated message is displayed in Control Panel’s System Properties. As crack based on remotion of activation factor involves patching, changes and modification to a lot of scheme files, it’s likely to be without apparent effort detected and nullified by Microsoft, exceptionally in next WGA update or Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. In fact, Software Protection Platform (SPP) has been efficaciously to counter unauthorized edit of system files, which may result in features or functionality of Windows been deactivated, reduced, disabled or removed, causing respective error message when user wants to carry out sure action. Thus, the cracks must never be executed on a scheme intended for continual use, and ought to only be employed to extend the evaluation amount of time to keep out of the way of reinstallation. In fact, to use Windows operating scheme any longer than 30 days, users ought to buy a license.
