WDGC Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) Since the introduction of WGA validation I've had to validate 4 times, that is, re-validate on 3 occasions. I've used both the ActiveX Control and Windows Genuine Advantage Tool executable file methods to validate, but neither seems to "hold" for an extended period. However, according to the Genuine Windows FAQ, this should not be the case:-- Q:Do I have to revalidate if I reinstall Windows on my system?A:Yes. You will need to revalidate each time you reinstall Windows. However, you will only need to validate once per reinstallation. --Genuine Windows FAQ Have others had this experience? Is there a way to overcome it?.Title Edited - Please follow new posting rules from now on.--Zxian Edited December 12, 2005 by Zxian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda43 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Stop being such a goof about validation. Like who really gives a sh**? Do YOU? Do I? There's a g'zillion copies of XP roaming around out there that require NO validation at all, no matter how many times you install or re-Install them. And ya know what?.....they pass the MS validation check program with flying colors. Am I advocating hacking or warez? heck NO, just stating a very well know fact. NO illegal activity intended.Merry Christmas, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"... a goof about validation. ..." ? - Your appraisal of a simple, straightforward question is rather odd. You apparently are not familiar with the concepts of curiosity and the desire to know..
