Hi,

Unless you and your friend both work for a cpmpany that has a volume licence agreement with MS and they have given you a VLP copy of the Widnows media, then it sounds like what you are doing is illegal. You should not share the product key and WGA validation is designed, I believe, to check such things.

End result is that you may not be able to successfully validate your copy of Windows. In fact, I'm wondering how you activated Windows in the first place if it had already been activated by your friend?

Cheers,

Andy

well im not sharing it and its for my personal use only and that too home use

but he cracked it somehow to make it preactivated and also added a new key and said it was unique. but wheni checked on ms site, it said it was not legal/valid key

Crack's are not to be discussed. What you are doing is illegal.
