( "1. Important: must unzip all files into a new folder, Won't work f you run it from inside the zip file.

2. Run WindowsXP&2003Activation.cmd to activate windows.

3. If you're locked out and can't login because
activation needed, please login windows in Safe-Mode, and run the "Windows-Activation.cmd"

Thank you!" ).

Just tried it. It works with all versions of Microsoft Windows
including Vista. Ironically the "crack" is also available on eBay.
Just like the Internet the battle never ends it's what makes computing interesting.
