    My answer, to each his own. Let the users decide which is more important. It is simple really, to fix Windows' problems or not fix the problems. If your activation is "dodgy", you should try better methods.

    Code:
    Life's lesson:
    Don't click [Apply] unless you know how to undo.

    The latest doesn't seem to work for me in 2008 R2. It just says Working... and nothing happens.

    How could it be a myth if it is documented and I have used it. You can google the Vista registry rearm trick and see for yourself. Im not making it up :p

    Anyway, more to the point I was wondering how Napalum does this in Windows 7...

    I suspected this would happen, but no worries I've always got an alternative up my sleeve :D

    I'll have a new version out soon :)

    Sorry about so many new versions, I just want to get it right.

    Should I install KB974431 anyway before RemoveWAT ?

    Well if you want that update yes, because it will not install with removewat installed. You can always uninstall removewat, install the update then reinstall it at a later date.

    Yes, of course.
    From above v1.7 IMPORTANT! READ THIS!.txt, it says MAKE SURE TO INSTALL KB974431 FIRST BEFORE PATCHING

    I've just tested the new version on two machines. X32 Ultimate Eng and X64 Ultimate Hun.
    Both were succesfull, updates are coming. Genuine validation passed during the installation of MSE. Thak you Hazar!:)

    Brilliant!

    Did you install the update as described before patching? And are you getting any nag screens?

    First I installed all the KB974431, then I ran the patch, and finally I let the system check for new updates. It'has found some new uptades, then i was very happy, BUT
    now i tried to install them but it doesn't work.
    It is in a newerending loop: installing updates - restart - failed update install - reastart - failed update instal....... etc

    I think all the updates must install without the patch, not only the KB974431.
    :(

    But at least the nag screens disappeared! :)

    Hey! lol the neverending loop has just ended! And it is all right but the KB974455 is not installed. Now I try to undo the patch and istall it and then patch again....
