MelindaGates Crack for Vista Activation

Microsoft introduced a key management server as part of the new Vista release. This server is meant to run in-house at large corporations and simplify the management and activation process for enterprise builds of Vista.

Through the release of a piece of software entitled Microsoft.Windows.Vista.Local.Activation.Server-MelindaGates, users can spoof the enterprise key generator and use it to activate their copy of Vista.

While the hack only apples to enterprise versions of Vista it is quite interesting in that is provides a new insight into software piracy that is typically not recognized outside the industry. This tool is not designed for the home user. Most people typically associate software piracy to end users. This hack is specifically designed for users of enterprise software.

Previously all Microsoft volume license products did not require activation. This is the first product geared towards volume license users. Microsoft has said that this product was not just designed to stop malicious efforts, but also to assist companies with their license management efforts.

Microsoft has failed to comment on the new MelindaGates hack.
