Windows XP activation algorithm cracked for offline use
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Verge
The activation algorithm for Windows XP has been completely cracked, allowing for totally offline activation. The program allowing it has apparently existed for at least several months, possibly floating in the ether as a torrent download. Microsoft ended official support for Windows XP just over nine years ago, but the OS refuses to die. In fact, as recently as 2021, the Windows XP remained the most popular operating system in Armenia.
