we have copies on the select license, with xp that meant we could install it anywhere with one key, like an open version | |

Hmm strange - the copy I have asks you for the key as the very first setup of install | |

VLK 1 you just enter when you are installing xp and it tells it not to activate. | |

John you hit the nail on the head. Only a small small minority would actually pay for the stuff they have pirated. Instead if they have to they would use the free alternative. | |

Yip, obviously they have done more research than me but I think it is a waste of resources. | |

i think ms are trying to hard to make it impossible for people to pirate the software, but at the end of the day thats never going to happen so they should just stick with what they are already using, instead of inconviniencing the main source of income from windows..corporate offices etc | |

From what I have read so far VLK 2.0 you authenticate with a VLK server on your end then that checks back with microsoft. | |
