Cambiare il codice OEM di win XP.
Puo' capitrare di aver clonato 30 macchine con lo stesso cd, generato da un sistema funzionante. Accade pero' che in azienda mi ritrovo ad avere 30 Licenze, di cui usate solamente una. Apparentemente pare che io abbia piratato le installazioni. A questo punto devo ASSOLUTAMENTE cambiare la Key OEM su ciascuna delle 29 macchine ed impostare su ciascuna la chiave della OEM corrispondente.
Per evitare di fare una nuova installazione, perdendo configurazione di programmi, rete, ecc. procedo nel modo che segue.
Attenzione : Vi consiglio di eseguire un backUp dei dati prima di procedere , puo' capitare che al riavvio la , macchina non si accenda in modo corretto.
..... Editing the registry
Begin by opening the Registry Editor and navigating to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\WPAEvents
In the right pane, right-click the ODBETimer binary value and select Modify. Change at least one character of this value to either a number from 0 to 9 or to a letter from A to F, then click OK and close the Registry Editor. This renders the current product key invalid and deactivates Windows.
Now, it’s time to reactivate Windows using your new product key. Click Start | Run and enter the command:
%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe /a
where %systemroot% is your Windows directory. In many cases, this command will look like:
C:\windows\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a
At this point, Windows will launch the Product Activation Wizard.
Figure A
Select the option to telephone a Microsoft customer service representative to activate Windows, as shown in Figure A, and click Next. Now, select the Change Product Key option and enter your new product key as shown in Figure B. Finally, click Update and close the window. If Windows returns you to the previous screen, just select the Remind Me Later option. When the wizard is finished, reboot the system.
Figure B
When Windows reboots, your next step will depend on which Windows XP version you are using. If you have XP Home or Professional, you’ll be prompted to reactivate your copy of Windows through the normal activation process. If you have XP Corporate, no activation is required and your machine should have a valid product ID. You can verify this by running the %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a command again. When the wizard loads this time, you should see a message indicating that your copy of Windows has already been activated.
