PCs running genuine Windows 7 software with no activation exploits won't see any prompts since the update runs quietly in the background. If the update spots known activation exploits and the copy of Windows 7 is found to be nongenuine, the antipiracy notifications built into the OS will spring to life. Microsoft also promised that the update will not jeopardize the user's privacy since none of the information sent to Microsoft's servers includes personally identifiable information.
Enterprise customers use WSUS to manage the distribution of software updates in their IT environment, so it's surprising that Microsoft is skipping this area, though the company noted a WSUS administrator can import this update from Microsoft Update.
The update will be voluntary (meaning that you can choose not to install it) and can also be uninstalled at any time. Later this month, the update will also be offered through Windows Update as an "Important" update, but it will not be directly offered through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). It will be available online at /Genuine starting on February 16, and on the Microsoft Download Center the following day. The update will be for all editions of Windows 7, although it will be distributed for Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions first. It is also supposed to improve the integrity of key licensing components on the OS and will run periodic validations every 90 days. The update will detect "more than 70 known and potentially dangerous activation exploits" that attempt to bypass or compromise WAT and will determine whether the copy of Windows 7 that is installed on a PC is genuine. New Windows 7 antipiracy update to phone home regularly Works perfectly on a system where previous activation (Developer activation 1.1.3) was disabled by the new WAT update. Windows Activation Technologies will be gone. There will be no windows activation section in control panel. You will still pass the genuine check (WGA).ĭisables activation completely but does nothing to the validation. RemoveWAT removes WAT (Windows Activation Technologies) completely from the OS, whilst still retaining OS genuine status and receiving all updates. Windows Server 2008 R2 Editions supported. Remove WAT v2.2.5 - Windows 7 Activation (ex WGA)
