Turning Off Activation Security
Normally, activation uses default security settings. However, you can control activation security by specifying a COAUTHINFO structure, which is a member of the COSERVERINFO structure that is passed to the activation functions. If the client specifies an authentication level of RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_NONE in the COAUTHINFO structure, authentication is not attempted. Otherwise, secure activation is attempted, and if authentication fails, activation fails.
If the client does not specify an explicit COAUTHINFO structure and instead sets the pointer to NULL, COM will attempt to authenticate the client. If it cannot authenticate the client, COM checks the launch permission security descriptor to see whether there is a NULL DACL or an ACL that allows access to Everyone. If this check succeeds, the server is launched. Therefore, even if the client does not specify a COAUTHINFOstructure, unsecure activation may take place when the server allows it.
To allow unauthenticated network users to run a COM application, the application roles must include the Anonymous user. Starting with Windows Server 2003, by default, the Anonymous user is not included in the Everyone group.
Why would a client want to turn off activation security explicitly even though unsecure activation will eventually take place if the server allows it? Because explicitly turning off activation security increases performance when the client does not want or need security checks.
The following things must be done to explicitly turn off activation security:
- The client must specify an authentication level of RPC_C_AUTHN_LEVEL_NONE in the COAUTHINFO structure that is a member of the COSERVERINFO structure supplied to the activation function.
- The client must specify an impersonation level of RPC_C_IMP_LEVEL_IMPERSONATE in the COAUTHINFO structure that is a member of the COSERVERINFO structure supplied to the activation function. If this value is not passed, you will get RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE.
- The server must specify Everyone for Default Launch Permissions. The recommended way to perform this task is to use Dcomcnfg.exe as follows:
- Run Dcomcnfg.exe.
- On the Applications page, select the application that represents the server. Click the Properties button (or double-click the selected application).
- On the Security property page, click the Use Custom Launch Permissions button.
- Click the Edit button in the Launch Permissions area.
- In the Registry Value Permissions dialog box, click the Add button.
- Select the entry for Everyone in the list box.
- In the Type of Access list box, choose Allow Launch.
- Click the OK button.
In Windows Server 2003, the authentication capability for the COM+ system application includes the value EOAC_DISABLE_AAA. This value, which disables activate-as-activator (AAA) activations, is used in the CoInitializeSecurity call when launching the system application. Setting the authentication capability to EOAC_DISABLE_AAA allows an application that runs under a privileged account (such as LocalSystem) to help prevent its identity from being used to launch untrusted components.
Disable Automatic Windows Activation popup in Windows 10
Windows Activation is a process that helps you to activate Windows and verify that your copy of Windows 10/8/7 is genuine and that it has not been used on more computers than the Microsoft Software License Terms allow.
Windows has different license states like:
- Licensed: You see this status after successful activation.
- Initial Grace Period: This is the state after you have installed Windows, but have not activated it. You will be reminded to activate, or Windows will attempt to activate it online automatically.
- Additional Grace Period: If major hardware changes are made to your computer, Windows may prompt you to reactivate Windows.
- Notification Period: Once the grace period expires, you will see a message that Activation is required.
- Non-Genuine Grace Period: You may see this after Windows Genuine Advantage has determined that your Windows copy is not genuine.
- Unlicensed: This appears for unlicensed copies.
The Automatic Activation feature has been included by Microsoft in the Windows operating systems to make it easier for the user to get his copy of Windows activated conveniently. But for some reason, if you wish, you can disable the feature, by editing the Windows Registry. It may especially help if Windows is activated but it still asks you to activate your Windows copy.
Disable Windows Activation popup
This article will tell you how to disable the Auto-activation feature in Windows 10/8/7. If you do not wish to have the auto-activation wizard bother you, you may choose to disable automatic activation.
To do so in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 open regedit and navigate to the following key:
In the right pane of the registry editor, you will find REG_DWORD value ‘Manual’. Right-click on it and select Modify. In the Value Data window which appears, change the DWORD value to 1.
The default is 0 which means auto-activation is enabled. Changing the value to 1 will disable auto-activation.
Close the Registry Editor and restart your system.
You will find that the Auto-activation feature has now been disabled completely.

In Windows Vista, however, the relevant key is:
Change the value of Manual to 1 to disable auto-activation in Windows Vista.
Remember to create a system restore point first!
If you are having problems activating Windows, you may want to read this post on Troubleshooting Windows Activation States.
Check this post if you need to change the Product Key in Windows. See this post, if you see This copy of Windows is not genuine message on the bottom right side of your black Windows desktop.
Note: Please read the comments. It is working for some, while not working for others. Based on comments, you may want to change the value of NotificationDisabled to 1 and see if that helps.

How To Turn Off Automatic Activation In Windows 10
Last Updated on February 26, 2020 by admin 8 Comments
When you perform a clean install of Windows 10 from USB, ISO or DVD without entering a valid product key, Windows 10 is installed in trial mode and is valid for 30-days only. The user has to either activate the install using a valid product key to continue using without any limitations (see how long can you can use Windows 10 without activation).
Once you start using the trial copy of Windows 10, Windows will display automatic activation popups at regular intervals asking you to enter the product key to activate the installation even during the trial period. As said before, the automatic activation messages start appearing in the 30-day trial period itself and don’t start after the trial period.
This is because, like previous Windows versions, Windows 10 also comes with an automatic activation feature, and this automatic activation is responsible for the frequent activation popups that appear during the trial period.
Although the automatic activation feature is useful and does nothing but reminds users to activate the copy of Windows 10, not all users like this frequent “activate Windows” popup messages.
If you don’t want to see the automatic activation popups now and then, you can turn off or disable automatic activation feature in Windows 10 by making a small change to the Registry.
Method 1 of 2
Turn off automatic activation in Windows 10 by manually editing Registry
NOTE: We recommend you create a manual system restore point before editing the Registry.
Step 1: Type Regedit in the Start menu search box and then press Enter key. Click Yes button when you see User Account Control prompt to open Registry Editor.
Step 2: In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT \CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\Activation
Step 3: Select the Activation key. On the right-side, look for the entry named Manual, and change its default value to 1 to disable the automatic activation.
Set the value of Manual back to 0 (zero) to enable automatic activation in Windows 10.
If the automatic activation message is appearing even after making the above-said change, please reboot your PC once to apply the change.
Method 2 of 2
Easy way to disable automatic activation in Windows 10
Those of you who are not familiar with the Registry can use this method to easily turn on or off the automatic activation in Windows 10.
Step 1: Click here to download AutoActivationOff.reg file.
Step 2: Right-click on the AutoActivatoinOff.reg file, click Merge and then click Yes button when you see the confirmation dialog.
Step 3: Click the OK button when you see the following dialog.
To turn on automatic activation again, download this AutoActivationOn Registry file, and follow instructions in Step 2 and Step 3 of Method 2.
Windows activation client has stopped working
I recently purchased a Toshiba S855 with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. After two weeks I started to see messages asking me to input my Windows product key. Each time when doing this the Windows activation client would fail and I would get the message «windows activation client has stopped working». After trying repeatedly the code finally took.
Now, 5 days later, it says a change occurred to my windows license file and to re-type the product key again, resulting in the same «windows activation client has stopped working» message as before. Frustrating to say the least!
Here is the diagnostic:

(I only expected results from one 🙂 — but I wanted to cover all bases )
That result looks normal enough, although there is one anomaly — none of my systems show any .bak copies
I’m not sure what would cause the backups not to be deleted — or whether it’s actually normal for them to be created in the first place.
The file size seems a little low — certainly in the backups — but I don’t know the significance of it
I need to do some research — if you haven’t heard from me in 24hours, shout 🙂

It appears I was able to activate Windows 7 again, the last time it worked this lasted for 5 days so we will see how long it goes this time. The Windows Activation Client still crashes if I try to put my product key in but it appears the key is correct from the diagnostic scan I ran for kicks. Best guesses? Problem solved or did I buy myself another week?
