Remove, Bypass, Patch and Disable Microsoft Windows Genuine Advantage WGA Validation version 1.5.708.0 with LegitCheckControl.dll Crack
Microsoft has released Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool version 1.5.708.0 which consists of LegitCheckControl.dll and LegitCheckControl.inf that is installed to whoever that wants to download WGA-protected downloads and software from Microsoft Download Center such as Internet Explorer 7 RC1 (Windows XP SP2), Windows Defender (Beta 2), DirectX End-User Runtime, Windows Media Player 10 and 11 Beta, Windows Installer 3.1 Redistributable, Photo Story 3 and other Windows Genuine Advantage special offers. The latest version of WGA Validation Tool is installed when you try to perform Windows validation even though you already have hacked or patched version of LegitCheckControl.dll installed.
WGA LegitCheckControl.dll version 1.5.708.0 has different structure from previous version and cannot be ‘upgraded’ by simply change the version info from the existing patched LegitCheckControl.dll. However, one reader Danny has contributed a cracked and patched version of LegitCheckControl.dll which is able to bypass and disable genuine Windows validation check to download the WGA-restricted downloads from Microsoft Download Center, beside performing Windows update.
- LCC_DLL.zip which consists of cracked and fixed LegitCheckControl.dll version 1.5.708.0 and LegitCheckControl.inf can be downloaded from
here(link deleted due to complaint from Microsoft). - Launch Windows Explorer, navigate to \Windows\System32 folder, and delete LegitCheckControl.dll file. (Note: If you unable to delete the file, restart your PC into Safe Mode, and try again)
- Copy the extracted files from the downloaded ZIP to \Windows\System32 folder. If you haven’t delete LegitCheckControl.dll, simply replace the existing DLL.
- If you’re in Safe-Mode, restart your computer now.
- Click on Continue (Validation Required) button to continue to download page to download your desired software.
If the patched LegitCheckControl.dll above is not working, you may try to get Helios’ instructions on changing Windows VLK product key on IE and Windows respectively, so that there is Cryptographic Errors Detected on MGADiag.exe in order to bypass validation on Download Center.
Alternatively, download the dp-XPgen15708auto (removed due to complaint from Microsoft) by renaTgaD from Desperate TCG. It’s a fixed exe which mean it’s the WGA installer contains patched version 1.5.708.0 of LegitCheckControl.dll (WgaLogon.dll and WgaTray.exe stay at v1.5.540.0). After download, just close any web browser and run the installer to install fixed version of WGA.
There is also crack and hack from Team ETH0 which most likely will enable you to run Windows Update (Microsoft Update) and remove any nag screen only. Download the WGA 157080c (removed due to complaint from Microsoft) and run the installer.bat batch file.
Beside, if you still facing problem, try to use direct download link location URL to download directly from Microsoft, bypassing all WGA validation check.
Feedback on usability at the comments section.
Note: There may be secondary genuine validation check built into program installer that will trigger during installation. Just search within the site for workarounds by bypassing the validation check.

i can remove the genuine but how can i update to sp2?
October 1st, 2006 12:28
XP pro Key, but the Tool is also for XP home.
For as long as it takes…
CTMDQ-QQVTB-9CMBP-HPJ2T-9D2FG
also use this very special validation Utility:
http://temporarydir.uwnet.nl/software/Windows_Genuine_Advantage_Utility.zip
Or you may use another Key-Code that you
could find on the PC-case, Software, or from
other people, if they want to share their Keys,
and so forth and so on…
(Try to find out if the Keys are multi-usable)

Read the instructions again!
Under “You need the following” it says:
2 blocked VLKs
Blocked VLKs are easy to obtain. Or you can generate one from an XP KeyGen. Use Google if necessary.

i want to know also which other vlk?
September 30th, 2006 09:35
To helios
…3. Run Keyfinder.exe and check which of your VLKs is displayed. Then, from the ‘Options’ list select ‘Change Windows Key”. Enter your other VLK and click ‘Change’…
Which …other VLK..?
September 29th, 2006 22:01
O.K.
If you are using a VLK key that Microsoft blocks, you might find my experience useful.
This is how I managed to pass validation at the download site, with Danny’s patched LegitCheckControl.dll in place.
You need the following:
2 blocked VLKs.
Microsoft’s diagnostic tool MGADiag.exe (see post #16)
ProduKey.exe, available here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/produkey.zip
Keyfinder.exe, available here: http://www.magicaljellybean.com/downloads/kf151.zip
1. Run MGADiag.exe (I configured my firewall to prevent it from accessing the Internet) and check the validation status of your OS. If it says “Blocked VLK” then continue.
2. Run ProduKey.exe and check that both IE and XP have the same key. This is normal.
3. Run Keyfinder.exe and check which of your VLKs is displayed. Then, from the ‘Options’ list select ‘Change Windows Key”. Enter your other VLK and click ‘Change’.
4. Run ProduKey.exe again. This time IE and XP should have different product keys displayed.
5. Run MGADiag.exe again. This time the status should be “Cryptographic Errors Detected”.
6. Visit Microsoft’s download site and try your luck!

(((When the Windows Key you are using is informed by this tool as “Blocked VLK”, the patched 1.5.708.0 dlls do not work neither with Download Center nor with Windows Update (you get to the “Not Genuine” page)))
I have the “Blockedd VLK” and 1.5.0708.0 In Windows Update works without a glitch, but in Download Center NO!
The problem with all the patches until now is in the Download Center. This suggest that MS is using a different approach of validation…

Both patched LegitCheckControl.dll 1.5.708.0 available here from Swissboy and from Danny seem to work for some people and do not work for other people for the purpose of WGA Validation for Download Center & for Windows Update.
Anyway, the KB905474 patch from Swissboy is still working OK for overriding WGA Notifications.
Well, I found the following:
It seems like the patched 1.5.708.0 dlls work or do not work depending on the Windows Key you are using. I tried changing several Keys.
Tested each installed key with the M$ tool MGADiag.exe (MGADiag.exe).
When the Windows Key you are using is informed by this tool as “Blocked VLK”, the patched 1.5.708.0 dlls do not work neither with Download Center nor with Windows Update (you get to the “Not Genuine” page).
When the Windows Key you are using is informed by this tool as “Invalid Key”, the patched 1.5.708.0 dlls do work OK either with Download Center or with Windows Update.
I don’t know the difference. Does anybody?
I can assure I tested several keys and the behavior seems to be always the same.
Hope this help.
As always, thank you very much! Great work!!!

Any success story? For those who failed, did you install the WGA update version 1.5.708.0 before applying the patch?
September 29th, 2006 06:24
Yap, same like by the “master”
September 29th, 2006 05:13
Not working.
I can erase or replace legitcheckcontrol.dll.
No problem with it.
But not working.
September 29th, 2006 03:54
I Tried Handles Patch and it worked for Bypassing the Microsft Download center and Microsft update. v1.5.708.0
September 29th, 2006 03:53
Yeah it didnt work for me neither.
September 28th, 2006 18:06
I have tried this patch and it should works. If you can replace the DLL without going to safe mode, try to play round to restart the PC and/or IE.
September 28th, 2006 18:00
Didn’t work! This time MS has made it difficult! 13 days passed from September 15 and still no solution on the web around the world??? Hey boys what is happening?
September 28th, 2006 16:29
Sorry to say this didn’t work for me either, even though previous versions of cracked LegitCheckControl.dll have in the past. In the case of this 780 version I’m still getting nonGenuine errors and being unable to download.
September 28th, 2006 09:15
No thanks! this junk dosent work, it keeps saying nonGenuine PC, and what are we suppose to do with the legitCheckControl.INF? I wonder if swissboy is making one better
September 28th, 2006 02:49
You continually refer to a file LegitCheckControl.ini
The file in my download is LegitCheckControl.inf
I assume you have made and repeated a typo.
September 28th, 2006 02:03
Didn’t work for me.
I still get the same “This copy of Windows is not genuine” message. The ‘patched’ LegitCheckControl.dll has not been replaced by the validation procedure.
September 28th, 2006 02:00
Downloaded and patched but was unable to install files off Windows Update as it came up with an error when trying to install.
Any ideas?
September 27th, 2006 13:47
thank you for you mettods . again . thanks.
