More than 21 years after its appearance, the Microsoft Windows XP operating system refuses to die, although the developers themselves have long since “buried” it. Thanks to a community of enthusiasts, new life has been breathed into the operating system – now you can activate new installations of XP with license keys safely and securely, without hacking and without an Internet connection.
Appeared on Tinyapps Blog News that the algorithm Microsoft uses to validate keys in Windows XP has been hacked and redesigned. As a result, it is now possible to generate valid activation codes for Windows XP without an Internet connection. Microsoft has already deactivated all Windows XP activation servers.
The Windows XP operating system, released in 2001, has a weak level of security by today’s standards. Precisely for this reason, it is currently strongly discouraged – especially on computers that are connected to the Internet. The problem, however, is that sometimes people need it. For example, there is hardware that only works with Windows XP, or that can be very expensive but requires a long outdated version of Windows to run. If you have such a device or need to run certain very specific software that doesn’t work properly on any recent version of Windows, you may be forced to use XP. If this is the case, the problem is that Microsoft has disabled the activation servers, so you can no longer activate them over the Internet, even if you install a clean, fresh copy.
If you’re determined to get online with XP, Internet Explorer 6.0 won’t get you far. Even installing IE 8, the latest version for XP, doesn’t help much – Microsoft.com won’t even open anymore. For that you can try Seamonkey version 2.49.5 – an open source browser that still works on XP or Opera version 36 you can find on the download page companies. As an antivirus, there is an option with Avast, which also offers a version of it free antivirus programwhich still works on XP.
The tinyapps.org site itself is a treasure trove of minimalistic apps for this long-outdated operating system, as there’s still an active community of XP fans online, helping each other out with tips to keep this “outdated” code working. If you must run Windows XP, it is highly recommended to run it in a virtual machine isolated from the internet.
