Authentication for Windows
Authentication for Windows
i dont have a "genuine" version of windows. is there any way to get around the verification through microsoft to install updates and such. besides paying for a genuine product key?

Re: Authentication for Windows
Do you mean to say you don't have a COA for that version of Windows as it is bootlegged or does the WGA utility simply screw up?beeryf wrote:i dont have a "genuine" version of windows. is there any way to get around the verification through microsoft to install updates and such. besides paying for a genuine product key?

I met someone who looks a lot like you.
She does the things you do.
But she is an IBM.

That is against FAQ Rule #5. I asked to be sure.beeryf wrote:i have a copy from a cdr with the key written on it. it installs for UAE by default.
so i assume it is bootlegged.
There are to be no discussions about warez or bootlegged software on here.
