WATRemover v2.2 - The perfect activation solution for 7/R2 - Hazar

[antox]

Microsoft has launched an update to repair Windows Activation Technologies (WAT) which will be released in the update: KB971033

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971033

Windows Activation Technologies helps you confirm that the copy of Windows 7 that is running on your computer is genuine. Additionally, Windows Activation Technologies helps protect against the risks of counterfeit software. Windows Activation Technologies in Windows 7 consists of activation and validation components that contain anti-piracy features.

* Activation is an anti-piracy technology that verifies the product key for the copy of Windows 7 that is running on your computer. The product key is a 25-character code that is located on the Certificate of Authenticity label or on the proof of license label. These labels are included with each genuine copy of Windows. A genuine product key can only be used on the number of computers that are specified in a software license.
* Validation is an online process that enables you to verify that the copy of Windows 7 that is running on your computer is activated correctly and is genuine.

Several Windows 7 users point out, however, that despite being in possession of a valid copy of Windows 7, the update KB971033 reports valid copies as invalid. In these cases it is useful to contact Microsoft to rectify the position.

In the meantime, many prefer to simply remove the update KB971033 resorting to using software named RemoveWAT 2.2:

RemoveWAT, developed by Hazar and nononsence is a Windows 7 crack that completely removes Windows Activation Technologies from the system so that users can validate the illegal pirated copies of Windows 7 as genuine status (some reported as “Tampered Binary” in MGADiag due to patching), forever and permanently. RemoveWAT supports both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) and all editions of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.

RemoveWAT, which has been refreshed to RemoveWAT v1.9, also stops sppsvc service and patches DLL files such as slwga.dll, sppcomapi.dll and systemcpl.dll, where the last one removes the whole Windows activation section from the Control Panel’s System Properties. RemoveWAT also support silent install with /s switch, and can be integrated to Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 installation DVD.

* The program will remove WAT off the your operating system.
* It also allows not only to receive the updates, but also to reactivate the WAT by clicking on "Restore WAT.

Once back in Windows 7, you will have access to Control Panel -> System and Security -> Windows Update -> View update history, and uninstall the update KB971033.

Here's some various CMD commands to deal with KB971033 WATu (and activation in general). All commands assume an elevated cmd prompt:

* Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-clickCommand Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.


They are only checked against x86. I reference commands that I borrowed from elsewhere (sorry if I missed anything).

KB971033 is being pushed as an optional update through Windows update, and it will also install itself on your computer if you validate online

1. First you want to disable or delete WATu files:
* Disable WATu files without uninstalling

takeown /f "%windir%\System32\Wat\*" && icacls "%windir%\System32\Wat\*" /deny *S-1-1-0:F

Delete WAT Registry entries

WAT stores information in the registry including a machine ID, a UGUID, number of times validates, number of times validation failed (and a time stamp). Why not delete this and reduce the amount of info Microsoft can collect? If validated again the UGUID will be regenerated as a new number , in my quick test the machine ID remains the same.

REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Activation Technologies" /f

Next, you'll probably want to disable the WATu's task scheduler:

Task scheduler

* WATu uses task scheduler to check first time after reboot (when first installed) and again in 90 days. It's simple to disable the associated tasks.

schtasks /change /disable /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Activation Technologies\ValidationTask" && schtasks /change /disable /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Activation Technologies\ValidationTaskDeadline"

Then you'll want to run another validation check to make sure your Windows 7 is valid.

* Force validation re-check
If your system is flagged non-genuine, eg: blacklisted lenovo key, if you change product key you won't become genuine until you validate again. This code will force WATu to revalidate:

%SystemRoot%\system32\Wat\WatAdminSvc.exe /run

#

* Validation takes 2-5 minutes to complete, and you may have to log out or reboot for all nags to disappear

# Then if the update was installed:

* Uninstall update

If for some reason you installed this update, you can easily uninstall it at command prompt. I would make sure you're in a genuine state before uninstalling. For x86 only

dism /online /remove-package /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Security-WindowsActivationTechnologies-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~7.1.7600.16395

The name above is only valid for x86. The following is untested for x64:

dism /online /remove-package /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-Security-WindowsActivationTechnologies-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~7.1.7600.16395

You can enumerate the package name with:

dism /online /Get-Packages |find "WindowsActivationTechnologies"

While we're talking about command line, here some extras:

CLI slmgr
I prefer console access to slmgr (easier copy/paste, no windows randomly appearing), but typing "cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato" can be a pain in the ass. I simple save the following as c:\windows\cslmgr.cmd

@cscript %WINDIR%\System32\slmgr.vbs %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

then I use cslmgr in place of slmgr and the output appears in the console.

Of course you can create it with:

@cscript %WINDIR%\System32\slmgr.vbs %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 >%WINDIR%\cslmgr.cmd

Disable activation check
This is the easiest way to bypass the most annoying parts of "notification mode" without having to run any cracks.

takeown /F %WINDIR%\System32\sppcomapi.dll && icacls %WINDIR%\System32\sppcomapi.dll /deny *S-1-1-0:F

To Undo:

icacls %WINDIR%\System32\sppcomapi.dll /grant *S-1-1-0:F

Disable expired Enterprise Eval autorestart

takeown /F %windir%\System32\wlms\wlms.exe && icacls %windir%\system32\wlms\wlms.exe /deny S-1-1-0:F
