what prevents Microsoft from creating a version of windows that doesn’t allow cracks/activators to be used? Or detect it and disable the OS fully instead of warnings.
In: Technology
Cracks and activators work because they exploit parts of Microsoft’s activation process. They would have to remove activation entirely from Windows to prevent exploitation. For a simple metaphor, think of it as a door. They can lock it tight, but they door is still there and someone can learn to open it. They want to open this door because it makes them money, but they don’t want you to open it. So they make the best lock they can. Virus software does look for cracks and activators.
Two reasons they allow you to use unlicensed Windows are: 1. You may have been a victim of counterfeiting when you purchased the copy from someone and you need to report that. 2. They would rather try to get you to buy the product later than prevent you from using it.
