Indestructable Posted July 15, 2006 CID Share Posted July 15, 2006 your one problem might be with the Genuine Advantage Tool...which you can easily use a simple javascript command to permantly disable from downloading lol.... Lemme see if I can dig it up for ya.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted July 16, 2006 CID Share Posted July 16, 2006 Right now the genuine advantage program is still in it infancy.. There are ways around it.. downloading from other sites, disabling it (dont know if the javascript tricks still work), and i guess there is a program out there that takes care of it... About a month ago MS was thought to be building a kill switch in an update.. Which would report back about the status of your copy.. legal or illegal.. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9001559 All in all if you decide to go illegal.. be prepaired to pay the price if you are caught.. cause it will be more than the $200 for a legal license..

Grambler Posted July 16, 2006 CID Share Posted July 16, 2006 Much better to pay the ~$120.00 for a licensed copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karthic Posted July 16, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 16, 2006 any way i started the thread in neutral position as found out by tom yes grambler as u said its much much better to buy a licensed copy rather than caught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHalf Posted July 17, 2006 CID Share Posted July 17, 2006 Much better to pay the ~$120.00 for a licensed copy. That's true. Now take into consideration all the people that are computer savy who reformat their HDD's, replace their HDD's or buyassemble their PC's, that original license is only valid for soo long...until you spend another $120.00. It has it's pros & cons and from my point of view people do what they need to do. TheHalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted July 17, 2006 CID Share Posted July 17, 2006 thehalf, once you buy a license it's good forever. and if you buy a prebuilt box you get the windows thrown in for practically free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
