Permanently Activate Windows Vista by Skip Activation with Patched TimerStop.sys Crack
Hackers are going all out to crack Windows Vista activation procedure which is enhanced by Software Protection Platform (SPP). Until now, Microsoft has an upper hand, with no permanent or foolproof ways to crack or bypass Windows Vista activation request emerged. Instead, various workarounds and tricks to bypass, skip, delay, disable or spoof Vista activation has been suggestion, to various degree of success, such as extend evaluation period, rearm method, install Vista in future year, ‘frankenbuild’ Vista by replacing RTM build WPA files with RC build files, activate against spoofed KMS server, or run and activate Vista with own local KMS server and etc. Now, there is new crack method that able to permanently stop the countdown timer of time left to activate Windows Vista, effectively running Vista OS in full functionality evaluation mode forever.
- Install Windows Vista Ultimate edition (or other edition) without product key, if possible in year 2099.
- You may need to disconnect from Internet while applying the patch. If you disconnect Internet, connect to Internet until right before you verify the Vista crack with “slmgr -dlv” command.
- Windows Vista needs to be applied with 2099-ReArm trick, so that the counter of minutes to no activation required period will not return to normal after reboot. Try the following normal procedures to rearm Vista at 2099. If it’s not working, you may need to apply Vista ReArm Unlimited Patch to ensure Windows Vista back to initial activation grace period.
- Click on Start Orb button.
- Select “All Programs”, then “Accessories”.
- Right click on “Command Prompt, then select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
- If User Account Control (UAC) prompt a warning message, click on “Continue”.

Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.C:\Windows\system32>date
Current date: 12/19/2006 Thursday
Enter new date: - Enter 12/31/2099 (December 31, 2099).
- Next, type cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm. You will see something like the following:C:\Windows\system32>cscript slmgr.vbs -rearm
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.7
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.The command completed successfully.
To make the change effectively, please restart the system. - Then reset the date of the system to current date again by typing date again. You will see the following:Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.C:\Windows\system32>date
Current date: 12/31/2099 Thursday
Enter new date: - Type in current date, i.e. 12/19/2006.
- Above time changing process to ‘fix’ Vista is done from within Windows itself for easy access. However, if you have any problem, reboot to BIOS and change the date and year from there.
- Exit from command prompt, but do not restart the computer.
- Download StopTimer.zip or vista_test_crack.zip (both is same).
- Extract the downloaded archive file into a folder. It should contains “Vista test crack.exe” and “timerstop.sys”.
- Execute or run the “Vista test crack.exe” by right click on “Vista test crack.exe”, and select “Run as Administrator (A)”.
- Optional: Press in Test button, and it will pop up a message says 4 timers are stopped. At this time, the counter should be freezed, Check with slmgr.vbs -dlv command, with the minutes left should be the same after a few minutes interval. If it’s the case, continue with the following steps to run the crack every startup.
- In the Vista test crack window, click on “Install” button. You will be prompted with “Service installed” message if everything is done properly and correctly. The crack will copy the patched stoptimer.sys to system folder and install a new service named “timerstop” to stop kernel-mode timers in spsys.sys system file.
- Exit from the crack, and restart the computer.
- The hacking is basically done. Next few steps to to verify that the activation grace period built-in countdown timer is actually stopped and disable the timers from working properly, and make sure that the crack is installed properly. After restart, log on to Windows Vista. Run for a few minutes.
- Press on Windows + R keys.
- Type slmgr.vbs -dlv to check the time left to activate Windows Vista. If the time left is 43200 minutes that’s mean the crack is successful.
With the crack, you will have the following in the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\TimerStop]
“Type”=dword:00000001
“Start”=dword:00000002
“ErrorControl”=dword:00000000
“ImagePath”=hex(2):5c,00,3f,00,3f,00,5c,00,45,00,3a,00,5c,00,57,00,69,00,6e,00,\
64,00,6f,00,77,00,73,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,\
00,5c,00,54,00,69,00,6d,00,65,00,72,00,53,00,74,00,6f,00,70,00,2e,00,73,00,\
79,00,73,00,00,00
“DisplayName”=”TimerStop”
Update: There are now automated Vista activation crack tools that apply the above patching steps automatically, namely TimerLock (more realiable), TimeStop which apply TimerStop.sys and TimerStop64.sys v2a.
Further information:
- The TimerStop vista test crack works on all 32-bit x86 Windows Vista edition such as Vista Ultimate and Vista Home Premium. Success rate in 64-bit (x64) environment is likely to be low.
- The crack will make the time left to activate Vista to become always 43200 minutes (30 days), and will not countdown or reduce.
- It’s possible to access Windows Update if you install Windows Vista with default product key (no product key entered when installation).
- During the first 3 days of activation grace period after installing Windows Vista, Microsoft has designed it in such a way that Vista will allow greatest flexibility for users to install required drivers and application during this period, so Vista won’t prompt any reminder message for activation. After crack, Vista OS will always run with 30 days left for activation, thus there will not be any watermark or reminder to activate.
- It’s possible to pass Windows Vista Genuine Advantage (WVGA) validation, so users able to download Microsoft value-added software for genuine customers.
- As mentioned above, as Vista will also remain in first 3 days of activation grace period, in theory, Microsoft will not be able to differentiate who is the newly installed system, or who is the ‘patched’ system, unless of course, they check for the specific file or system (privacy anyone?).
- Users can only view that there is 30 more days for system to be activated in the system properties, but it won’t affect system usage or installation method.
Note: This timer stop + Vista ReArm method is exactly the same with Vista RTM Timer Stopper Crack cloned and copied by other sites.
If you facing problem that the activation countdown timer continue to countdown, or keep reducing after an Automatic Updates, check out the solution to unstoppable timer. On the other hand, if you having problem with KB929391 Windows Vista Validation Updates, visit ways to remove or uninstall the Vista validation tool.

I’ve installed timestop several times as an admninistrator on 32 bit, and every time it appears to work… for a few days. Then the timer jumps down to 38181 minutes less or some other lesser number. I have turned off all updates. Any ideas why my timer keeps starting up?

hi…were i can find an italian 64bit version?
January 29th, 2007 15:55
Works for my ultimate win32 install, it only stopped 2 timers tho, anyway, from time to time (especially after a weekend, don’t know why) it gives a “please activate” copy, but the slmgr.vbs -dlv command still shows 32400 minutse (and system properties also 30 days) so I just cancel it.
Haven’t been bothered by the validation update yet, perhaps it doesn’t bother since it thinks you’re in trial mode.
So far so good

[...] TimeStop v2 is a Chinese program that enhance and automate the Windows Vista activation crack of TimerStop.sys which used to permanently activate Windows Vista. TimerStop.sys hack stop the countdown timer of Vista activation, so that Windows Vista system will always have 30 days or 43200 minutes left without the need to reset or rearm the Vista timer. With countdown timer always at 30 days, technically Windows Vista is recognized as legitimate and genuine by Microsoft as evaluation period. The TimeStop crack for Windows Vista is called a idiot style of crack patch by the author, as the whole Windows Vista activation crack process is fully automated. The TimeStop patch v2 update the Timer Stopper patch (timerstop.sys) so that the crack can be applied and used to crack Windows activation on Windows Vista 64-bit (x64). Beside, it also include an algorithm to check if it’s run on Windows Vista operating system. If it detects that your OS is not Vista, it will prompt a critical error message (in Chinese language, basically mean “You aren’t using Windows Vista system, right? Are you trying to play me?”), and stop you from continue using the smart utility. Although the Vista activation crack utility is in Chinese, but it should work on English edition of Vista, as the core of it, TimerStop.sys is the same. [...]

Vista permanently crack activation works great on my pc but can’t get updates !!! Any suggestion ?!
January 13th, 2007 23:41
any breakthrough for x64 yet?
January 11th, 2007 16:28
Both methods (KMS & this trick) don’t work with Vista Ultimate x64.
1. I tried to activate vista with KMS server but I always got the weird error 0×7005xxsmth (don’t remember the number but MSDN says that it is “Access Denied”).
2. The TimerStop trick does NOT reset the timers on x64. It says smth like ‘Stopped -2742 timers.” So it actually doesn’t work at least with x64 Ultimate.
January 9th, 2007 11:34
It works..keeping time remaining 30days to activate constant. But unless I activate, no upgrade can be downloaded. Any solution, please.

The timer stop crack seems to work, but every time I reboot my computer and check the slmgr.vbs –dlv the timer seems to have resumed. For some reason the timers get restarted. I can run the “test” manually upon every reboot in order to get the timers to stop once again, but that seems to defy what the “install” is suppose to do.
Has anyone else encountered this problem…does anyone have a possible explanation.
Also the slmgrhack –rearm, never actually resets my timer to 43200. It says the process has completely successfully when I run the command, but once I restart to see if the timer reset, nothing happened.
It was fun playing with the vista, but I think I will stick with xp until some new tricks come out to play with….. I have done like 10 reinstalls playing with this stuff.
January 3rd, 2007 03:26
this method works fine to me,.. however i got 2 timers are stopped.
not sure if it will cause any problem tho
January 2nd, 2007 18:43

Fanfuckingtastic.
Thanks.

[...] If you crack Windows Vista activation with StopTimer patched service that stop the countdown timer of the activation grace period, and thus making the time left to activate Windows Vista is always 30 days, the steps in the tutorial guide should be able to permanently (well, sort of as time left is always 30 days or 43200 minutes) activate your Windows Vista, or freeze Windows Vista in an initial state that fooling or tricking Microsoft into thinking that your installation of Windows Vista is just happen, and still in the initial grace period. The trick should work out-of-the-box the first time, but if it fails, or starts counting timer again after Automatic Updates, try the following solution. [...]
