TimerLock Automated Batch Install Script for TimerStop Driver v2a and Windows Vista Activation 2099 Crack

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, enable Internet Time sync, and other free software from Microsoft Download Center. To make the application of TimerStop.sys patch easier, pembros has posted on anti Windows Product Activation (WPA) forum a batch script (now contained inside a program) TimerLock that automated the TimerStop.sys driver installation process.

The TimerLock batch script or executable 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 (so you won’t find TimerStop.sys and/or TimerStop64.sys on your system as the name is randomize to minimize the risk been caught by Microsoft). Then it applies the 2099 crack (and thus will use one rearm count, if your Vista 3 times rearm allocation is used up, you may need to reinstall Vista) and restarts. Upon restart the system will be restored to original date. The process also auto disable driver enforcement in 64bit Vista (32-bit TimerStop.sys driver has built-in workaround to the Vista unsigned driver restriction) 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.

As TimerStop drivers will be installed with a random name, CurrentName.dat file will be created in TimeStop folder to record the actual name of the system. Keep the file or write down the name of the installed driver on your system just in case you need to uninstall TimerStop driver.

Note: (Only if not working) For TimerLock to work in 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate x64, although the script has built-in support to disable unsigned driver warning, you may have to disable driver enforcement manually with command provided by Shadowchaser:

bcdedit -set loadoptions \”DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS”

Note: Use updated version only if previous version failed or unable to work. Beside, TimerLock won’t work on Microsoft Virtual PC 2007.

To automatically apply the TimerStop driver to crack and bypass Windows Vista activation by using the TimerLock script:

  1. Install Windows Vista without entering any product key. If you have already installed Windows Vista, make sure you don’t use up the 3 times legal rearm limit. Anyway, version 5 will ensure that TimerStop driver is installed even though rearm allowances have been used up.
  2. After installation setup complete, boot up Windows Vista system with user id with administrator rights.
  3. Disconnect from Internet if necessary.
  4. Turn off UAC. (Not necessary required since version 2.0, try only if unsuccessful)
  5. Extract the TimerLock.zip or TimerLockSetup.zip to a folder.
  6. Run install.bat or TimerLockSetup.exe to activate TimerLock script.
  7. When prompted to restart computer, press OK.
  8. System should prompt that the patch was installed properly. If not check your system date if it has properly set back.
  9. Optional: If you have problem that the activation timer counts down between restarts or reboots, manually apply 2099 trick.
  10. Check if your activation remaining timer still counting down with slmgr.vbs -dlv command in elevated command prompt.

If the TimerLock auto Vista activator and patcher doesn’t work for you, you can always apply Timer Stopper TimerStop driver (v2a) manually.

    • Service Pack 1 is OK; however update KB2345886 appears to undo Timer Lock.

      After I attempted to undo this update, Vista would not boot. There was a malicious

  • hey all having problems with vista update and defender and that – the crack left my date wrong – it was set at 2070. but the countdown timer had stopped, so i guess it did work but not 100%.

    all you have to do is change ure system date back to a correct time. windows cant update if it is too far out of whack.

  • Well.. I think i'm just gonna stick with rearm.. Just get a partition disk and when the time is right transfer everything and boot it!

  • admin are you still monitoring this? I have ultimate 64 – bit … i used the newest version (2.6) after downloading updates… it appears to work for a little while and then begins counting down… i used "shadowchaser's" bcdedit command and it works for like one reboot… i have no rearms left… any help would be much appreciated… thank you

  • I have installed the SP1 on my Vista, now the Timerlock doesnt run anymore. I tried it several times..nothing. and i cant uninstall the sp1

  • It worked for me, thanks. May i ask you what are the current updates that i must not install in order to continue using vista ultimate x64? i don't want to be told my vista copy isn't original… =D

    Thank you, an Italian user ;)

  • I installed x64, made updates, then installed the TimerLock. After the restart, almost everything quitted working. First it was Defender, then Windows Update, then MSN Messenger. Any tips?

  • i installed the latest version of timerlock but now i cant open control panel anymore. I even re installed vista and cracked it again but same problem. Vista is 32bit ultimate with Sp1. How can i fix this problem?

  • I've been using TimerLock since the begining. It does work. It works with any version of Vista, 32bit/64bit. I have both myself & my girl friend using Vista Enterprise. What is critical is you do not put a serial number when installing Vista. Even though you don't have to, I disable UAC before running TimerLock. I prefer Vista w/UAC disabled. Run TimerLock, then follow the prompts.

  • I used this crack,but by mistake I just forgot to tick "run as administrator" and nothing had happened to time of vista(i.e. it was not cracked).After that I tried several time to use it as given in txt file, but it is not working.Can anyone help me?

  • ZZ (corrected): Timerstop will have problems with sp1. Actually it appears that almost any manipulation of the clock with Vista sp1 shuts down certain parts of the OS. It can be fixed by a re-arm with the current date but then of course you’ll lose your 2099 trick, an essential part of making timerstop work. I don’t know what MS palns to do when someone’s battery goes!

  • ZZ: Yes it does. Actually it appears that almost any manupulation of the clock with Vista sp1 shuts down certain parts of the OS.

  • I have used timerlock in my windows vista. Does anyone know if it will keep working if i install vista service pack 1 when it comes out?

    thank you.
