Windows Server activation flaw negates activation requirement | |
|
||
| Time: 06:50 EST/11:50 GMT | News Source: SD Times | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

A flaw in how Microsoft Windows Server 2008 calculates the time remaining until it must be activated could enable users to potentially run the server for years before activation. The defect is a consequence of Microsoft failing to assess its virtualization strategy, says an analyst. | ||

Sure, as long as they never wanted to patch or install any software that requires a reboot.
Give me a break. This is a non-issue. |

"The process does not run when users ‘save’ a virtual machine, or presumably use hibernation. So, if the user never shuts down or restarts, they could conceivably use Windows Server indefinitely before activating"
By "use", do they mean hibernated? What benefit is a hibernated server? Idiot: "Hey, I conned Microsoft! I've got Server 2008 hibernated for free!" |

it really just reveals that the people that write this trash never actually do anything...
We have something of a cyclone of nonsense going on out here... |

| obviousy some people use server 2008 in a test environment. Using this method will let you use windows 2008 without activating for a long time. |

You can already do this: when activation dialog appears, press F1 to start Help. Then type "command prompt" into search field and do the search, click "open command prompt" and there just type explorer.exe to start shell. That's it... :)
This works with Win 2003 too... |
