Windows 7 activation pops up and remove. How to activate Windows 7 so that activation never fails

Greetings, dear readers.

Seventh version operating system from Microsoft is one of the most popular today. Even though the developer has already stopped supporting it. At the same time, like any product of the IT giant, this one must undergo a special verification procedure. Afterwards, users receive full functionality. In addition, there is no annoying window prompting you to constantly register the system. Special software is used for this. But sometimes situations occur when users need to install new version program, but the presence of an old one does not allow you to do what you planned. Later in the article I will tell you how to remove Windows activator 7, and will also touch on some related issues.

Reasons

There are several main reasons why users might want to use new software. For example, sometimes the activation period ends and its extension is required. But the old application for some reason does not want to do this. As a result, users can delete it and use a new one.

But the very reason is still the release of a special update by the corporation. Thus, the KB 971033 addition closed the possibility of using an existing activator, be it Loader XE or the same Removewat. At the same time, to install a new one, you need to say goodbye to the old one, which is not always possible.

The easiest way

Regardless of what operating system bit size is used - x64 or 32, the procedure will be the same:

After this, we reboot and check the functionality of another activator, for example, Loader Extreme Edition .

Through the Administration panel

If the previous method did not help for some reason, we try another one. So, if you suddenly see a message on your desktop that says “your copy is not genuine,” we go through a series of movements:

After we reboot the device, download new program and try it. All of the above can be done both in the Maximum version and in the Home version.

Few people know, but after you have purchased and activated a license for Windows 7, the system no longer needs this key. It is needed only once - upon activation. The system does not check it further. And the most interesting thing is that this key is written to the registry, and this is already dangerous. Ask why? Yes, because if an attacker gets into your system, he can easily copy this key for himself and then use it for his own purposes. For example, create pirated assemblies with this key or activate it for yourself. This will subsequently lead to the fact that this key will be blacklisted and you will not be able to receive updates and will receive all the “delights” of non-licensed Windows.
Therefore, for security and protection purposes, those in the know usually delete the activation key.

How to remove a Windows 7 activation license key from the registry.

The most interesting thing is that we will not work with you.

1) Start Menu - Run () or keyboard shortcut Win + R and enter slui

2) In response, the key license verification service will open. If you do not have activated Windows, the window will look like this:

3) Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> (or Win + R enter cmd) and enter the command in it slmgr -cpky and press Enter

RMB by shortcut command line and select from the menu Run as administrator

Activation will not be lost due to these actions. You can check in Computer Properties then or reboot and check again. The activation key for Windows 7 was deleted, but the activation remained.

On the screens of those computers that use non-activated Windows version 7 or activation failed after the update, the message is displayed "Your copy of Windows is not genuine" or a message of similar meaning. Let's figure out how to remove the annoying notification from the screen, that is, disable authentication.

There are two options for disabling authentication in Windows 7. Which one to use depends on the user's personal preferences.

Method 1: Editing the Security Policy

One of the options for solving this problem is to edit the security policy.

1. Click "Start" and go to "Control Panel".



2. Open section "System and Security".



3. Follow the inscription "Administration".



4. A list of tools will open in which you should find and select "Local politics...".



5. The Security Policy Editor will open. Click right click mice ( RMB) by folder name "Restricted Use Policy..." and from context menu select "Create a policy...".



6. After this, a number of new objects will appear on the right side of the window. Go to the directory "Additional Rules".



7. Click RMB on an empty space in the directory that opens and select the option from the context menu “Create a hash rule...”.



8. The rule creation window opens. Click the button "Review…".



9. A standard file opening window opens. In it you need to go to the following address:

   C:\Windows\System32\Wat

   In the directory that opens, select the file called "WatAdminSvc.exe" and press "Open".



10. After completing these steps, you will be returned to the rule creation window. In his field "File Information" The name of the selected object will be displayed. From the dropdown list "Security level" select value "Forbidden", and then press "Apply" And "OK".



11. The created object will appear in the directory "Additional Rules" V "Security Policy Editor". To create the next rule, click again RMB on an empty space in the window and select “Create a hash rule...”.



12. Again in the rule creation window that opens, click "Review…".



13. Go to the same folder called "Wat" at the address given above. This time select the file with the name "WatUX.exe" and press "Open".



14. Again, when returning to the rule creation window, the name of the selected file will be displayed in the corresponding area. Again, select the element from the security level selection drop-down list "Forbidden", and then press "Apply" And "OK".



15. The second rule has been created, which means that OS authentication will be disabled.

Method 2: Deleting files

The problem posed in this article can also be solved by deleting some system files responsible for the verification procedure. But before that, you should temporarily disable the standard antivirus, « Windows Firewall» , remove one of the updates and deactivate a certain service, since otherwise problems may occur when deleting the specified OS objects.

1. After you have deactivated your antivirus and "Windows Firewall", go to the section already familiar from the previous method "System and Security" V "Control Panels". This time open the section "Update Center".



2. A window opens "Update Center". Click on the inscription on the left side of it "Viewing the log...".



3. In the window that opens, click on the inscription to go to the update removal tool "Installed updates".



4. A list of all updates installed on your computer will open. You need to find an element in it KB971033. To make your search easier, click on the column title "Name". This will list all updates in alphabetical order. Search in a group « Microsoft Windows» .



5. Having found the desired update, select it and click on the inscription "Delete".



6. A dialog box will open where you need to confirm the removal of the update by clicking on the button "Yes".



7. After the update is removed, you need to disable the service "Software Protection". To do this, go to the section "Administration" V "Control Panels", which has already been discussed when considering Method 1. Open element "Services".



8. Starts "Service Manager". Here, just as when deleting updates, you can arrange the list items in alphabetical order for ease of finding the desired object by clicking on the column name "Name". Having found the name , select it and click "Stop" on the left side of the window.



9. The service responsible for software protection will be stopped.



10. Now you can proceed directly to deleting files. Open "Conductor" and go to the following address:

    C:\Windows\System32

    If the display of hidden and system files is disabled, then you must first enable it, otherwise you simply will not find the necessary objects.

    

11. In the directory that opens, find two files with a very long name. Their names begin with "7B296FB0". There won't be any more objects like this, so you can't go wrong. Click on one of them RMB and select "Delete".



12. After the file is deleted, do the same procedure with the second object.



13. Then return to "Service Manager", select the object "Protection software» and press

    As you can see, if your system activation has failed, then it is possible to disable the annoying Windows message by deactivating authentication. This can be done by setting the security policy or by removing some system files. If necessary, everyone can choose the most convenient option for themselves.

If you use a pirated copy or forgot to activate it after installing Windows, you know that every time you start the OS a sign appears " ActivationWindows" (in Windows 7 - "Your copy of Windows is not genuine"). By the way, the non-activated "ten" is functionally no different from the activated one, except for the blocked personalization settings and the "reminder" (water mark) in the lower right part of the screen. then the Universal Watermark Disabler utility has long stopped removing the inscription " Windows activation“Forever, after rebooting the system, the “stamp” is visualized again. How to remove the annoying watermark in Windows 10 / 8.1 / 7? This will be discussed in our meeting today.

Why does the "Windows Activation" message appear? "?

As I already said, main reason the appearance of a watermark - the installed copy is illegitimate (flighted activationWindows). Regarding the “ten”, a year ago it was possible to join Windows program Insider with a non-activated OS, and the reminder message disappeared (although personalization did not function). Next, users who upgraded from Windows 7 and 8 to Windows 10 for free or purchased an upgrade from Windows Store, as well as insiders receive activation without the need to enter a license key (activation key, product key), by linking the license to the equipment. This is the so-called digital permission or digital license. digital entitlement").

The fact is that the "tens" license is now tied to your account Microsoft. Redmond made this decision the year before last (from the current news item): "ZDNet portal experts conducted their own research and found that when upgrading to Windows 10, a device identifier is created that is unique and based on license key copies of the operating system, as well as a combination of components. If you install this copy of Windows again on the same device, it will be activated automatically. Experts note that when adding additional hard drive or changing the video card, the "ten" will not perceive the computer as new and will receive the status of licensed software. Difficulties may arise when replacing motherboard, which is considered a key component of the device. In this case, you will have to activate by phone".

How to disable activation in Windows 10/8/7

• To 100% remove the annoying reminder, we’ll use the editor system registry. So, use the hotkey combination " " to open the "Run" command window, type regedit and click " OK" → in the editor, expand the branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Windows NT \CurrentVersion \SoftwareProtectionPlatform \Activation .

• Selecting the section " Activation ", in the right half of the window, right-click on the parameter " Manual "→ next," Change" → change the value from "0" to " 1 " → "OK" and restart your desktop (laptop).

Removing the activation window (sign)Windows viaREG file

This method is useful for experienced and lazy users, because... For beginners, I would recommend improving their computer literacy by mastering the method above. In general, to automate the process of getting rid of the “stigma” on the face of Windows, I suggest downloading an archive with the corresponding REG-file. It's just a matter of small steps: after unzipping the file, double-click on it → in the window that appears, answer the question “Do you really want to continue?” answer with " Yes" → when a panel appears notifying you that changes to the registry have been successfully made, click " OK".

Finally, to make sure everything was done correctly, reboot the system.

Important!

REG-files – text files for quickly changing data Windows registry, are convenient for setting up, transferring and restoring program configurations.

You decided to install Windows 7 and used one of the many pirated builds. However, when the system boots, a window constantly appears stating that your copy of Windows is not registered, and you need to go through the activation procedure. A reasonable question arises: how to remove activation of Windows 7? There are two ways to get rid of the annoying message, which will be described in detail below.

Disable notification

Restart your computer and log into Safe Mode.

Open the Start menu and click the Run button. Type "regedit" and click OK.

Open the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE→SOFTWARE→Microsoft→WindowsNT→Current Version→WPAEvent. Find the "OOBETimer" parameter and change its value to "FF D5 71 D6 8B 6A 8D 6F D5 33 93 FD".

Be sure to save your changes and restart your computer. The notification about the need to activate Windows will no longer appear.

Removing the activator

If you know how to remove Windows XP authentication, you should be aware that a specific update is responsible for this security feature. In the case of Windows 7, the situation is absolutely identical: you need to remove the “KB971033” update from the system in order to remove the built-in activator.

If you have already tried deleting old Windows updates 7, then you can easily handle the activator. Let's refresh our memory a little:

The next step is to disable the protection service and remove the old activator.

Files may be hidden. Make them visible using the Folder Options section of the Tools menu.

Be sure to restart your computer - the old activator will no longer be on it.

However, remember: if you do not register the system, you will not be able to update it; some will also be inaccessible Windows features. Therefore, it is better to download the universal activator or use the “crack”, which should be in the archive with any build of Windows.
