Folks,
Please bear in mind that PPRuNe does not condone or encourage the use of illegally copied software, or the circumvention of copyright protection mechanisms.
This C&I forum is not a "hacks & cracks" site - there are (I believe) several of those available on the internet.
That said, this thread may be of use for those with legitimate copies of MS Windows that fall foul of MS "over-zealous" copy protection, for whatever reason.
