    Yeah, I got one of these notices 4 years ago and all they wanted was a reply acknowledging that I took the server offline.

    Doesn't seem to happen, i also was wondering how a not activated system would work with only the nag message removed.

    Oh yes i remember the old times... They had an watermark remover, but they sold the program as making it legit. :eek:

    It is just an old fashion watermark remover, but windows stay locked anyway, hence not activated in any way...:g:

    It's not the watermark he removes supposedly, it's the activation nagging he supposedly removed, leaving his system unactivated.

    Then you may want to check the KMS Validation setting. Not familiar with CODY's Toolkit, and if it applies the registry setting. If KMS activation is required I use abbodi's KMS VL All.

    I wonder what legitimate user would bother to opt out on sending this data?
    Hence, maybe MS put this KMS validation setting there as a honeypot to register the pirates.
    That they don't send any validation data might then be true, instead they send data that the policy is in place.;)

    OP seems to deal with common sense, or lack there of. Hey M$ I fart in your general direction, what would you expect, they are not online?

    And what makes you think KMS VL all doesn't? When or where has anyone said that?

    This thread is about KMS Telemetry/Validation and its Group Policy/Registry key.
