Well as of Microsoft detection, there is a 25 charactar "key" that is checked at the Microsoft for its registration. Every system has a unique key and it is required to be registered which hardly our dealers care about.
I went through the validation process while installing the latest version of Microsoft Windows Media Player. All they required was this 25 charactar long ke so they can register my system or my Windows in their database.
I could not complete the process somehow but is it sure that they'll validate a pirated copy of Windows and that too for free? As in they are converting a pirated copy of their product into a valid one without any charges or complaints. Is it a trustable process to be undergone?
