Xentry DAS Keygen 2017: A User Guide to Software Activation

This guide outlines the steps to activate Xentry DAS 2017 software, based on commonly circulated methods involving a keygen. Please proceed with caution and ensure you understand the implications of using unofficial activation methods. This information is provided for informational purposes only, based on user-shared procedures.

Step-by-Step Activation Process

The following steps detail how to activate Xentry DAS 2017 using a keygen, according to user-provided instructions.

1. Disable Secure Boot

First, you need to disable Secure Boot from your computer’s BIOS settings. This is a crucial step to allow the key loader to function correctly. Access your BIOS menu (usually by pressing Del, F2, or F12 during startup – refer to your motherboard manual for specific instructions). Navigate to the Boot or Security settings and find the Secure Boot option. Disable it and save the changes before exiting BIOS. Your computer will then restart.

2. Replace XentryAPI.dll

Next, you’ll need to replace the original XentryAPI.dll file with a patched version.

• For 64-bit systems: Locate the XentryAPI.dll file in the patch folder (often labeled “old key loader x64”). Copy this file and paste it into C:WindowsSysWOW64.
• For 32-bit systems: If you are running a 32-bit system, place the XentryAPI.dll file from the “old key loader x86” folder into C:WindowsSystem32.

This replacement is a core component of the keygen process, as it modifies the software’s license verification mechanism.

3. Run Key Loader

Execute the key loader application relevant to your system architecture:

• Double-click on “old key loader for configassist or startkeycenter 64bit” if you have a 64-bit system.
• Double-click on “old key loader for configassist or startkeycenter 32bit” for a 32-bit system.

Confirm any prompts by clicking “Yes.” This action applies necessary registry modifications. After running the key loader, restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

2. Open Keygen: Launch the Xentry DAS keygen application.
3. Paste Hardware ID: Paste the copied Hardware ID into the keygen.
4. Verify App ID: Ensure the correct App ID is selected in the keygen (typically 252 or 253).
5. Set Expiration Date: Choose your desired expiration date for the activation key.
6. Generate Key: Click the “Generate” or equivalent button to create the activation key.
7. Copy Activation Key: Copy the generated activation key.
