Corporate Licenses[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#13)

At work I'm able to buy corporate site licenses and they do not include activation for the most part.  I wish that I had that option for my personal computers too.

Corporate licenses do not have activation but they still have WGA. Activation normally doesn't bother a running machine, WGA can.

WGA wasn't auto-approved tg[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#15)

We got this patch on our two WSUS servers during this time frame.  Fortunately, Microsoft was kind enough to force the patch to be approved, even if you have some automatic approval rules.  So this sits unapproved on our servers.

Mainly because we paid a @#$% load of money for an Office VLK only to have M$ invalidate it and ask us to pay again.

Yea, I'm running a Mac with Openoffice 2.4 now.  Wish we could do the same thing company wide.
