software protection/licensing entirely from the OS, removing checks/nags from the OS, with some tweaks to fool MS into thinking its in trial mode.RemoveWAT blocks Windows access to various Windows Activation Technologies files, to render them unusable by the operating system (about as good as deleted).Then RemoveWAT changes a registry entry called DigitalProductId in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion] to trick MGADIAG.This works because when it finds an invalid product key, the result is null or "0", and strangely enough, MGADIAG interpets "0" as "genuine".A similar result can be accomplished through several other methods, such as removing the DigitalProductId4 value altogether, swapping DigitalProductId and DigitalProductId4, or even with hacking of the Software Licensing WGA API or Software Licensing Client DLL.Tricking Windows into believing it is genuine, and tricking MGADIAG are completely separate things.There are no registry changes that can make Windows genuine.DLL reassembly is the only way to genuinize Windows without a valid product key....FreeRyde
