i am also a major NOOB regarding these matters ... the author of RemoveWAT implies that it will work for "R2" ... is this in reference to Windows Server 2008 R2, or something else ... and will this work to activate the "trial copy" of server 2008 r2?... any and all help is greatly appreciated ...
Yes sathni, this is in reference of Server 2008 R2 and I think [as I didn't test it in Server 2008 R2 ] it will work.....
Problem: I installed wat 2.1 on a retail win7 ultimate 64bit version build 7600. install went fine and shows no expiration however after a few days i now see a watermark in the bottom right on the desktop saying something like: "This copy of windows is illigal"...how do i remove this and does it mean after x amount of days my install will expire or? Anyone who can point me in the right direction to remove this? Would be greatly appreciated
Try to reinstall RemoveWAT or if this does not help take a look at Chew-Wga ( or Chew7 which should be available soon )
@Hazar, i like this new App. you have but after toying with it (uninstalling your 7Loader) and after installing this... i notice extreme lag and freeze/puases while opening Chrome, IE, Firefox, and even tried to open Steam. what do you think caused this? i have everything up-to-date. i have back tracked to a later restore where i haven't install it yet. hope you can help.

I've never experienced that in tests and actual use, and I run steam and firefox, I'm sorry but I think it may be unrelated. Interesting.
Task Manager didn't really show anything and the CPU Graph never did spike. could it be my version of Windows 7? it's Ultimate and i downloaded from a Torrent @Piratebay from late of last year. Note: i checked the Image File nd it was the real Retail OEM Version as i used MS Check Tool. Edit: this maybe due to my Wireless USB Adapter. seems Hardware related.
I have only ever used Hazar's RWAT for W7, and upgraded it along the way. No issues, no lag, no freezing - just optional updates don't work any longer, and W7 complains about its effects in Event Viewer But months later, no issues or problems with RWAT and my laptop's reliability or speed.
Btw just FYI you guys, I'm working on 2.2 With the optional updates fixed and MSE check etc., and also my own watermark patch so it doesn't interfere with other things like showing your own OS info on the desktop
hazar ... thanks for the great work ... i tried to use removewat 2.1 on w-server-2008-r2 ... it was a fresh install .. the 2.1 program starts to run, and the progress bar goes about 1/3 of the way .. then nothing .... i waited almost 30 minutes before aborting the program .... any ideas? .... please advise - thanks
i have 17days of activation remaining. will ur v2.2 come out by then? also, i have zonealarm security suite 9 installed do i need to disable it before running removewat? if yes, then ill have to disable the net connection too so will removewat work fine without net connectivity?
Thank you so very much for this! I've tried about 5 ways to turn off that thing, but neither of them worked, except this one. One question, though: can I download regular updates from Microsoft site? Thank you for answering.
I must admit I was expecting a critique for not reading previous answers (I'm sure you've already answered that for 100 times ). So thank you again for your patience, time and geniality. Поздрав.
hazar ... regarding RemoveWAT for win 7 .... can this method be "reversed" by microsoft? .... or is this a permanent fix? ... what changes will be 2.2 compared to 2.13 ?.. also, can i load 2.2 if i have already loaded 2.13? .... your help is greatly appreciated ....
Nothing is permanent but this is a very good option if no loader or loader-driver works on ur system. Why not, open 2.13 press RestoreWAT and remove WAT again using 2.2 again
i have a problem with removewat. i installed this app to disable wat from windows7. all fine, until i get an issue.. my pc starts stopping working. i check the removewat (it was installed) and the app shows me that there is no removewat installed to be removed from my system, but the wat was removed and there is nothing about activation on my win7. ive restored the image and activated it again with removewat, the system is working fine right now. this problem ocurried after i made an windows update called internet explorer 8 security updates (somes**t like that). anybody knows wtf is that? seems that the update remove some king of file used by removewat and the system stop working propper. but now its all ok. sorry about my english...
