Microsoft employees use “Crack” to activate Windows licenses for guests

In a customer support situation, a Microsoft engineer ran a “crack” of Windows on a customer’s computer after being unable to activate the license according to the official instructions.

It appears that this is not the first time that Microsoft support specialists have used such workarounds when under time pressure to provide timely support to customers.

A South African resident bought a Windows license for $200 but couldn’t activate the license in the usual way. He sent a support request to Microsoft, a Microsoft engineer in charge of this customer also performed a way to activate the license but still failed.

In contrast, if the software is “jailbroken” and the keys are shared online, it is prohibited according to Microsoft’s regulations. But the company does not currently have a mechanism to prevent this.
