Winxp key algorithm

[coolted]

I am wanting to know if anyone knows where I can find an algorithm for winxp that will tell me what ver a key code works with. Like if the key is home, pro, upgrade, retail, oem ect... I do a lot of reloads and knowing which cd the code will work with would save lots of time


Thanks for the info...

huh you why would you want to know that? I'm sure the only people who know are selective groups and microsoft try asking them.

I work as a pc tech doing multiple reloads of winxp a day. Sometimes the pc's don't have the coa stickers on them. I only get raw key code.

That doesnt add up....whats a raw key code?? An xp key can be used for 1 PC only. If the COA isnt on the machine or on the cd sleeve then you are pirating software and that shoudlnt be discussed here. Please clarify, where are you reloading these machines? Are they home pc's or an office network? There is really no reason to need to know what you want to know.

they window algorithm is what is used to created pirated cdkeys... All cdkeys fallow a certain algorythm that microsoft uses, and no one should even have the slightest clue what it is, but people gather lots of information and can find out what the algorythm is, and thus are able to general false cdkeys.

As long as I wasn't the first to point it out this time. You will get no help with making keygens here at TF.

I believe you guys are misunderstanding. Sometimes I am given a key code over the phone when I need to reload a client's computer. Unfortunately, most of the times, they don't have any idea as to what version of XP the code coincides with. Instead of going through and testing the code by trying to install one version, then another, then another, trying the code with each install, I would like to write a program that will run the key code I am given through the algorithms and tell me if its an invalid key, or that it belongs to Windows XP Home Retail, or Windows XP Professional Upgrade... so on and so forth.

I have to agree with ted here on this situation, its a shame that in such a constructive forum that software piracy is the first thing you turn to flames.

Ted: I am also looking for a solution and will keep in touch if I find anything and would also look forward to more constructive posts on this thread.

Thank you all,

unfortunately, you will probably need to either do the testing or contact MS. This isn't something that I think you will find without a lot of grief.
Good luck
