WGA Antipiracy Mechanism Adapted to XP SP3

Microsoft has adapted the Windows Genuine Advantage Notification tool to the third and last service pack for Windows XP.

Windows Genuine Advantage Validation process, the WGA Notifications component is now set up to integrate seamlessly not only with XP SP2 but also with Service Pack 3. While avoiding terminology such as "pirated" and "counterfeit," WGA Notifications will provide end users running Windows XP copies detected as non-genuine with the necessary information and assistance for them to get valid licenses for the operating system.

Microsoft has failed to reveal the changes, if any, implemented in the WGA Notifications update, but the WindowsXP-KB905474-ENU-x86.exe file has gone live on the Download Center on August 25, and in this context it is different from the WindowsXP-KB905474-ENU-x86-Standalone.exe release dating back to early 2007. The only visible difference is in terms of the supported operating systems where Windows XP SP2 is featured alongside XP SP3.

With the release of Service Pack 3 for Windows XP, Microsoft has adapted the installation process and activation mechanism of the platform to match that of Windows Vista. Not only are XP SP3 users installing the client no longer required to enter the product key during the deployment phase, but the product now benefits from a 30-day activation-free trial period.

Windows Vista SP1 RTM or hotfix resolves DHCP IP address loss issues from “sleep or from hibernation” - KB956119

After you resume a Windows Vista-based DHCP client computer from sleep or from hibernation, the computer may lose its IP address. This problem may occur if there is more than one network interface on the computer, such as a real network interface and a virtual private network (VPN) interface.

Microsoft described the scenario reported by end users, revealing that it involves bridging a Vista-based DHCP machine with a remote VPN server via a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN connection. According to the software company, cutting off the connection, and then placing in and subsequently resuming the PC from sleep or hibernation modes, will result in Vista losing the DHPC IP.

“In this scenario, the computer loses the IP address that was assigned to it by the DHCP server. Instead, an Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) address, such as 169.254.0.1, is assigned to the client computer. Therefore, you cannot access some network resources,” Microsoft added.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest SP1 for Windows Vista, or download supported hotfix from Microsoft.
