CI Build status

In light of the recent exponential interest in this project I've decided to put updates of this project here:

Please see ticket #8 for more information

• This program is a tool for researching and experimenting with retro Microsoft product licensing, for products released before 2012.

• Enderman's XPKeygen Readme explains everything in detail.

• It all comes down to four simple steps:

• i386 processor or better
• MS-DOS 6.22 or later
• Any DOS-based version of Windows
• Windows NT 4.0 or later (via NTVDM)

• i686 processor or better
• Windows XP or later

• Windows 11 21H2 or later

• Apple Silicon or x86_64 processor
• Latest version of macOS

• modern ARM, x86, or x86_64 processor
• Latest version of your Linux distro

• (GitHub account required)

  • Download the latest experimental version using the Actions tab (Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, DOS DJGPP)

• (GitHub account *not* required)

  • Download the latest release for your operating system and architecture from the releases page

• After installation, you will be prompted to activate Windows.

• Select the telephone activation method, then, run umskt -i <Installation ID> using the Installation ID the activation Wizard provides for you

  • If you're activating a non-Windows product, use umskt -i <Installation ID> -m <Product>, where <Product> is one of OFFICEXP, OFFICE2K3, OFFICE2K7, PLUSDME, or OFFICEACC
  • If activating Office 2003/2007, use umskt -i <Installation ID> -m <Product> -p <Product ID>
