NI-488.2 Provides support for NI GPIB controllers and NI embedded controllers with GPIB ports. You can also bet that Microsoft isn't going to be sitting around with this exploit in the wild - expect the first batch of Vista Windows Updates to address this.Īre you running Vista? Let us know your thoughts over in the forums. Provides support for Ethernet, GPIB, serial, USB, and other types of instruments. The hack, covered by Engadget, probably won't work on 64-bit Vista, thanks to the security improvements MS has made in that version of the OS. This new hack stops the countdown timer at 30 days and makes sure that it never goes further - thus giving the eager pirate a fully functional version of Vista. The crack in question comes from OEM-SLP product key and OEM certificate, retrieved from boot.wim of Lenovo’s leaked Windows 7 Ultimate ISO.
Vista runs, out of the box, fully functionally, for 30 days without requiring activation. Wow that was fast and we all saw it coming Windows 7 has been cracked already, 85 days prior to its official consumer launch in October. In fact, it doesn't even require the input of any keys at all. This will add 30 days to your activation timer. Click the Start menu, type cmd, and then press Ctrl + Shift + Enter. This hack, which is rather simpler, avoids running the key server entirely. There are a couple different ways to do this: Click the Start menu, right click on Command Prompt, and select 'Run as administrator'. Previously in Windows Vista, the attempt to permenantly bypass Windows Vista activation by stopping activation grace period countdown timer has been unsuccessful and foiled by Microsoft with anti-crack update. With some clever Registry trickery, hackers have found a way to permanently delay the activation of 32-bit Windows Vista.Ī previous hack last month involved setting up a spoof key server to generate faked license keys for the corporate version of the OS. The hack works to activate Windows 7 bypassing activation altogether, and thus does not require any product key.
