"Licensing Stuff"

This is a bunch of tools I've used for some time to do morally questionable stuff to Windows Licensing. I don't really have a reason to use them anymore so I hope someone else can have some fun.

How do I use this?

If you just want to make a product key and don't want to read too much code, go here.

All tools support the --help option, you can read it for a bit of context on the parameters.

Tools

keycutter.py

This contains an implementation of the "msft:rm/algorithm/pkey/2009" product key algorithm. The tool gives you an API and a commandline tool to encode and decode product keys or find ones matching a specified template. The template function could be written to allow for an almost arbitrary key but I didn't have any use for it other than a few funny sets of keys so I never bothered.

A bit of info about product keys here.

pkeyconfig.py

This is a simple API for interacting with data from pkeyconfig.xrm-ms files.

keymaker.py

This is a tool using keycutter.py and pkeyconfig.py that creates a plain text or json file with every single 2009 product key for a specified pkeyconfig.xrm-ms file.

skuidmap.py

This is a lookup table between SKU IDs (edition IDs) and edition names. Most of this can be extracted from winnt.h, but some values are gone forever and there are many holes. There are other sources for these but they require heavy machinery to dig out. I can elaborate on request.

store.py

This is a collection of mini tools that can do fun things related to the store.

store.py content-id <product> <publisher> <platform> is used for creating a content ID for a given product. This is the UUID which you can find in some files and registry keys related to licensing. This value is calculated with a very simple "formula", which you can read in the content_id function.

store.py query-content <content-id> is for querying the store for a particular content ID. This will give you information about pretty much any Store product for which you know the content ID, although it's worth knowing that some (particularly Windows-related) content IDs are hidden there and will give you a not-found error despite actually being internally recognized. There is also an option to specify the market and query language; this can get you pricing information or whether a given product is available in another market.

store.py query-pkeyconfig <pkeyconfig> is the same as above but it will do it automatically for all editions found in a pkeyconfig file.
