Roomiestdruid Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 That would be TweakNT, and I dont think so, unless its been updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0rbez Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Beta 2 should be out before then so I wouldn't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monotech Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Type "licenseui" in Start/Run Im curious to see what happens after the 15 days :no: :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_a_V_e_N Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I doubt whether it really matters, like f0rbez said, beta 2 should be out before 6 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monotech Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Im wondering if any features will stop working?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solarix Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 so after 15 days u have to activate it? or 180? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I think in this case Beta2 will cut it close to the 6 month deadline. Actually Beta2 of whistler was longer than 6 months apart from beta1 if I recall. They can always issue interum builds to testers. Given that Vista isnt due till q4 06 I wouldnt expect Beta 2 until november/december if it stays in the 180day limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Well after 15 days of on the XP builds it use to stop you basically using the operating system. By the sounds of that it probably makes the operating system useable but highly restricted perhaps. But theres been a work around for everything microsoft has ever released so im sure people can find the work around for the 15 day thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiiragi Tsukasa Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 So wait, I have to activate a warezed version of VI? How the hell am I supposed to do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osiris Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Well you cant discuss "Warez" on the boards in this context, so youll simply have to do some of your own searching or be patient as it may not be anything out for it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiiragi Tsukasa Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Well I'll just enjoy my last 13 days and then wait until Beta 2 comes along and hopefully stick to the release to the pubic bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
