Before pressing 'Custom' or 'Express' buttons paste this text to the address bar and press enter:

javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

It turns off the trigger for the key check.

Thanks. I haven't encountered it yet, but if I do, I'll use this. You just redeemed yourself for this!

Something tells me Microsoft will fix this trick in 24 hours, lol.

[Sparky]

And a new trick will be devised.

[oblivious_maximus]

gotta love people on the internet working around annoyances!

[rocadelpunk]

i feel like 3% better about myself now that I"m using legit copies of winxp..

but I got them from msdn software alliance..::shrug::

still free

[ivanolo]

rocadelpunk, how does that work?

[Mr. Ali]

i just got a new job thats part of the microsoft employee purchase program (EPP). i havent started yet so i cant look up what kind of discount i get for software but how much is the discount usually? i might go legit if its cheap enough...

also, can you buy windows on the cheap for friends because it says this in the FAQ:

Can I buy more than one item at a time?

Yes. When you click an "Order" button for a product, you will be taken to a page that shows your shopping cart with any items you have ordered in it. In order to add items to your cart, click the "Continue Shopping" button to go back and order another product. Any items put into your shopping cart will remain there until you complete your order.

it's an academic software alliance microsoft has with ohio state's electrical engineering college.

I basically download the iso's and they give me 1 cd key.

It's pretty much a bunch of software I'll never use unless I was a developer or programmer, however I get basically most of the operating systems and map point : P

I can't blame Microsoft for trying, but it's pretty sad how bad they are at anti-piracy stuff.

[Jamsan]

well this just came in handy

<3

[ivanolo]

I see, rocadelpunk. You get the full version of Windows XP, but you're limited to just one key per product?

[super_Chris]

I just tried it, and its not working.

[Sparky]

Clear the address bar, paste the javascript code, hit enter, then click the button of your choice.

[thadood]

Seeing as it took them 4 years to come up with this. I think it's going to a little longer to fix it... not another 4 years... but not 24 hours... they arent concerned with computer elitists getting by, they're concerned with the poeple who distribute the copy illegally and then change money for it...
