Microsoft WGA doesn't work?

[Ignatius]

Confused me for a couple weeks until I realised wga made a folder and didn't set any permissions on it.

Interesting - what's the path to the folder?

[Aardpsymon]

theres one here
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data

and another somewhere in windows folder, or at least there was in that version. I can't seem to find it right now, but theres all sorts in there in prefetch and system32 and so on. There may have also been one in program files.

TBH I think its all a load of nonsense. Those that choose to pirate the software will find a way, or find someone who can find a way. All copy protect EVER does is hurt the genuine users. I've heard "I had to crack/copy ...... to use it" many times and never ever heard "I was going to copy ...... but there was no way round the copy protect"
