LS_Dragons Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 When you refer to 'admins' reinstalling at 2:00 am --- sounds like a company situation. In that case - you will probably have the 'Corporate' version of .NET If that is like the coporate version of XP - you will not have to activate it.LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buck614 Posted February 20, 2002 Author Share Posted February 20, 2002 Hold it...Hold it...Hold it....The corporate version does not need activation? I understand that the 2 versions are called:advanced enterprise server & standard terminal server.It is a relief to know that the Advanced version does not need activation. That's the way it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buck614 Posted February 22, 2002 Author Share Posted February 22, 2002 I just found out that you have 60 days to activate. That makes more sense. From what I have seen, .NET looks like a decent Operating System with a lot of potential. I just hope it will be as reliable and stable as Win 2000 Server.

TypeR189™ Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 Have you ever bothered to notice the evaluation message in the EULA? (its right at the top you cant miss it - 180 Day License) Theres your 180 day timebomb. Thats why you cant just hex edit winlogon and assume it will be all ok. This will only activate xp, but set your clock foward 180 days and watch the magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS_Dragons Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 all of the time-limits, activation, etc ONLY apply to the RETAIL product. Corp. customers and OEMs are provided with different bits that eliminate the need.LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcoco Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 I have Windows .net Enterprise, Standard and Web Servers all build 3604. The only way i was able to get the timebombs off was to patch them with the Windows XP corporate files, which allowed everything but terminal services to work.
