Activate 64-bit Windows Vista (Ultimate and x64) with TimerStop v2a Crack plus 2099 Trick
The TimerStop.sys crack that can permanently activate Windows Vista by making the state of Windows Vista system always in evaluation or trial state, and posted by offlinevista in an anti-WPA forum has been updated to support Windows Vista 64-bit of all edition, including Windows Vista Ultimate. The new version of TimerStop Vista activation countdown timer stopper version 2a (or v2a) consists of 32bit (x86) timerstop.sys (4096 bytes) and timerstop64.sys (6136 bytes) for activation crack of 64bit or x64 version of Windows Vista.
The previous version of TimerStop.sys (3584 bytes) does not work to stop the timer on 64-bit (x64) of Windows Vista because the driver is not signed which is a requirement for the TimerStop.sys to execute and run properly on x64 Vista in order to intercept the running timer in spsys.sys. If you enable bootlogging, you can check for an entry in ntbtlog that shows “Driver not loaded …\timerstop.sys” which is the result of this problem.
V2a version of Vista experimental crack has a new and update driver, adds support the bypass or disable of Vista driver signature check enforcement in Vista 64 bits which prevents all unsigned drivers to load in normal mode, and thus the driver no longer loads in testsigning testmode, as implemented in previous version of StopTimer.sys driver. Beside, the test button in the installer no longer in need or indeed functioning, as due to changes in the TimerStop.sys driver, the installer can’t determine if it works or not, instead will just let you see if the counter is freezed or not. Beside, now the installer will prompt to run as administrator if you forget to run it with elevated rights or turn off Vista UAC. Also enhanced is that V1 only checks for timers once, while V2 will check for several times for the timers, as if Vista startup is slow, the timer may stop after a few minutes.
TimerStop stops kernel timers launched by the Microsoft Licensing System in spsys.sys (part of SPP or Software Protection Platform)
For automated installer which will automatically does the rearm at 2099 trick for you in Windows Vista RTM 32bit or 64 bit, and then install the TimerStop patch, try TimeStop v2. Apparently other automated self-claimed TimerStop cracks such as vistatalk activation crack and Dr Hisham (CORE) Timer Stopper, are based on version 1 of TimerStop.sys, thus its reliability to crack the activation on Vista 64bit is low.
New: TimerLock automated batch install script.
Step-by-step how to use instructions to apply the TimerStop v2a crack for Windows Vista RTM x86 and x64 (32 and 64 bit):
- The Windows Vista must be installed with no product key.
- You will need to apply one of the “2099 trick”, either by install your Windows Vista in year 2099, or rearm Windows Vista in 2099 once (see second part of the article). Remember to disconnect the Internet so that the time won’t sync back to current date while rearm is in process, and change back the time after that.
- Download the TimerStop_Crack_V2.0.rar (alternative download link) or TimerStop_V2a.zip archive, containing install.exe, timerstop.sys and TimerStop64.sys.
- Unpack the archive in a temporary folder.
- Run install.exe.
- When prompted for permission to run as administrator, click on OK, as administrator’s rights and privileges are needed to install the driver.
- On the installer window, press the “Test” button. Do not close the message box shown on screen, but you can ignore what is displayed.
- Launch a elevated command prompt with administrative rights by right clicking on Command Prompt icon, then select “Run as Administrator”. Alternative method is to press Windows+R keyboard shortcut.
- Type “slmgr.vbs -dlv” in the command prompt, a dialog box should popup in 10-20s.
- Take note of the number of minutes remaining on “Time remaining” displayed on the last line, and close the dialog box.
- Wait a few minutes, and run “slmgr.vbs -dlv” again.
- If it works, the number of minutes remaining for Vista activation should be the same. You can then close the messagebox shown after pressing “Test”, and press the “Install” button to install and auto run the driver at each system start or reboot.
- Check again your system with “slmgr.vbs -dlv” to see if the counter keep counting down. If the timer still running, try to restart your PC.
Note: You may not have exactly 43200 minutes remaining, as if you use the “install in 2099″ trick, you will have less than 43200 minutes left, since the crack isn’t applied just after the timer is initialized to 43200 at the end of setup. It’s only possible to get exactly 43200 minutes if you use the “rearm in 2099″ trick, or slightly less than that if your computer is slow.
Upgrade from Previous Version of StopTimer.sys (v1)
If you have already used the previous version of TimerStop.sys (non v2) on your Windows Vista x64, you can upgrade to v2 version by doing the following:
Disable testsigning mode by running the following command in elevated command prompt:
“bcdedit -set testsigning off”
Then just run the installer. There is no need to uninstall or reinstall the Vista experimental crack as the driver hasn’t changed.

does the v2a work for x84 or should i just stick with the 2099 for that?
February 21st, 2007 10:10
i used the v2a and the timer stopped, and i rebooted.
now when i check, the timer at the bottom is not there anymore…
the last line just says: Licensed: unlicensed
and thats all, the timer was there before but now it dissappeared.
so is it working or what?
February 16th, 2007 10:23
ok
I tryed 2 times and still dont work. every time i restart the computer says u need to activate or limited functionalty
February 16th, 2007 06:46
Quick question. Is it true that the amount of programs you are allowed to open at one time is restricted or can i open as many as i want.
Cheers.
February 16th, 2007 04:42
thanks, its work great whit my ultimate x64 vista, and not onli whit the timerstop, the command “bcdedit – set testsignin off” works for my sound blaster live 24-bit drivers!!!!
very good tutorial
February 14th, 2007 01:26
ok,i saw people replied me,but i completely forgot i posted here,cuz i found a way to keep it to 30 days by periodically replacing some files.
Ok,people,how do you think:”Why on earth will i type 31.12.99 when it should be 2099?!?” I make i just CAN’T make it to 2099-the last possible year is 2098,then i turns on 1999. Maybe it’s just the bios,i don’t know. That’s why i stopped wasting my time with it.
Sorry to “admin”, i don’t remember anymore what i did,but i followed the steps described and saw they don’t work for me. There was a rearm method,on which i clicked on test and on the place of “4622 minutes” or whatever it was, it told me “rearm -3 times” or something like that. And most times after i apply a crack,it deleted my gratis key and when i restarted it appeared only the white “Activate or restart” screen.

With v2a, it’s possible to access Windows Update as long as you’re not downloading validation update.
February 12th, 2007 22:57
Quick Q regarding installing cracked/hacked versions – do they nullify any security updates or service packs in the future? Surely every version of Windows has uncountable gapong holes that you’re probably not going to want to leave open.
February 11th, 2007 17:10
After every reboot the timer is back at 43200 minutes.
Is that oke? Can i still use windows update?

[...] TimerStop v2a driver crack for Windows Vista activation is a popular workaround to bypass Windows Vista activation, as it locks the Vista machine activation grace period in within officially allowed 30-day duration which fools the Microsoft to treat the system as newly installed for trial usage and not yet activated. Hence, the all Windows Vista edition, including Windows Vista Ultimate cracked with TimerStop may able to access Windows Update, download Ultimate Extras and other free software from Microsoft Download Center. The make the application of TimerStop.sys patch easier, pembros has posted on anti Windows Product Activation (WPA) forum a batch script that automated the TimerStop.sys driver installation process. The TimerLock batch script comes with original working version 2a (v2a) of TimerStop.sys and TimerStop64.sys by offlinevista. The command script will firstly install TimerStop driver with a random file name. Then it applies the 2099 crack (and thus will use one rearm count) and restarts. Upon restart the system will be restored to original date. The batch process also auto disable driver enforcement in Vista to skip warning about unsigned driver, and will work on any localized language or region version of Windows Vista as it change the date format during the process silently.

Ok. I found an Ultimate key, so I used that. I got it to work. Now the minutes stay at 43200. Upgrade went smooth, although it took a couple hours.
February 6th, 2007 23:04
dandan,
mine is permanently staying at the number it was at when I applied the crack. Not 43200 but I did the install trick instead of the rearm.
February 6th, 2007 19:18
I had this crack running perfectly on my Vista Business Edition a few days ago, however, yesterday I got the brillian idea of upgrading the cracked Business Edition to cracked Ultimate. Lol. I do have a burned disc. How do I go about upgrading?
February 6th, 2007 13:36
i seem to have done it..i think
i used the disable integrity checks thing and then used the sPoTTy D0g crack
the timer still counts down but resets to 43200 on every reboot
my question is… is this right or did yours (johnsteel, shadowchaser) perminently stay at 43200
thanks in advance
February 6th, 2007 13:14
Shadowchaser,
Scratch that, sorry for ever doubting you
It didn’t work for the “test” mode but it sure as hell seems to have worked when I just went ahead and installed it anyways. Thanks a ton your knowledge is MUCH appreciated.
February 6th, 2007 12:45
Shadowchaser,
The other variable you stated above does not seem to do the trick either, still not letting me install the timerstop64.sys since it’s unsigned.
Any further help would be much appreciated.
February 5th, 2007 22:06
That’s not entirely true. Ok, the well known string
“bcdedit -set nointegritychecks ON”
doesn’t work with RTM. But we have found a little leak in the MS code. By using the other variable above, driver disabling works (still) without problems.

February 5th, 2007 11:01
I was under the impression that in the x64 version, you cannot disable driver signature enforcement using bcdedit, since RTM.
February 4th, 2007 06:06
Sorry, I cut off something.
bcdedit -set loadoptions \”DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS”
February 4th, 2007 01:38
Test mode is no longer needed in Versio 2a. The relevant variable is:
bcdedit -set loadoptions \”DDISABLE_INTE”
This is similar to the F8 Boot Option – “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement”
February 3rd, 2007 19:59
Oh and I really don’t understand why you don’t use CAPICOM to test-sign 64-bit driver or even provide people with usnigned driver so that everyone can sign it on their own instead of having to turn on test mode permanently.
February 3rd, 2007 19:53
This patch is not complete. It stops the timer, but after each reboot the time is decreased by several minutes.
February 3rd, 2007 04:55
denijane, when you change the date, dont type 31/12/99 (or however your date region requires, type 31/12/2099 – even though this is not explicitly said in the date change on screen, it does accept 4 character years.
This will stop it using “1999″
February 2nd, 2007 08:00
What steps have you done denijane? You must change the date to 2099 and do a rearm at year 2099.
February 2nd, 2007 01:52
ok,i just can’t get it done.It says “Cannot start service The system cannot find the file specified” i jsut don’t know what to do.When i try to rearm(i do it) and reboot the year is not 2099 anymore,but 1999. Really if anyone has an idea what i can do to activate it properly,it would be very nice. Maybe i should say my vista is beta
