Active Vista Pre-RTM

Active Vista Pre-RTM 5840 using your Beta/RC Product Key

Windows Vista 5840 had left the RC milestone and near to RTM, you must install and active it using an RTM key...
I had found the way that replace two files from 5744 to active 5840...
Important Note: I don't support pirate........This way will be invalid when Microsoft stop to active Vista Beta/RC, and will be expired because of using 5744 licence, so I release this instruction and it won't be using to pirate Vista RTM.

1、Install and logon Vista 5840 normally.
2、download this 2 files from 5744 and unrar them: http://www.ihtpc.net/wbpluto/5840_Activation_replacement.rar
3、browse to 'X:\Windows\System32\Licensing\pkeyconfig' folder,right-click 'pkeyconfig.xrm-ms' ,open property, click Security>Advanced>Owner>Edit>Administrators，Click OK and close property. reopen property,Click Security>Advanced>Edit>Double-clickAdministrators>Click“Full Control”,Click OK then close Property.
4、replace 'pkeyconfig.xrm-ms' using downloaded one.
5、Right click“Computer”>“Manage”,Click“Services and Applications”>“Services”,find 'Software Licensing' and stop it.
6、input 'X:/Windows/ServiceProfiles/NetworkService/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/SoftwareLicensing' in address bar, take the ownership and full control of 'Tokens.dat' using the same way.
7、replace 'tokens.dat' using downloaded one.
8、restart Windows Vista, you will be prompted "your Windows licence have been changed", Now you can input your Beta/RC key to active Windows Vista 5840!

please restart vista after active it. you can see the expired time of evaluation copy,07/6/1, in 'winver', because you are using the 5744 licence.
At last, I hope Microsoft and other developers make them software harder to pirate, and decrease the prise in developing countries, making no pirate in these countries.
