180 Day Eula on RTM Install ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Those of you who installed the RTM Network version from MS -check out your EULA using winver. It gives a 180 time limit. I changed the date to 2005 to test it ,but MS checks for this error automatically online. So the 2005 test is a wash. I had a valid home license. Is this an error or is MS going to start checking for licenses every 180 days? Whats Up Microsoft?

Definitely a trial version... Beta testers got full ISO images for previous SP2 builds with HOME or PRO versions of XP as a trial... Nothing like that is happening over here! :)

What I see is this:

1. You might have got a less-than-licensed version of WXP somewhere.

2. That might actually have been an evaluation copy patched to make it full.

3. When you used the SP2, the patch came unstuck - and your 180 day issue has cropped up.

Well, don't start flaming if this is not the case, just trying to help.

Sure you didn't download "xp_SP2_RTM.exe" through IRC/P2P/warez sites? that was a pre-mature, file, tampered with - so no digital signature on it. If you did, then re-download the *REAL* deal from the official download site (downloads.microsoft.com/---------).
