Question

Anyone know how I can tell if an install of XP Professional has been cracked to bypass activation?

If anyone does please can they email me, wouldn't want such info being posted on this BBS.

I need to know how a particular PC with XP was activated (think its used a key its not licensed to used, either that or its been hacked about with)

Thanks

John

No replies with hacking/cracking details on here though please

I'm probably wrong, but I thought only the home version had WPA

Both home and Pro have WPA, i think its something we are going to see a lot more on MS products.

Ian, MS are dropping the current way of activating the software as its costing them too much.
