![]() And remember, too, that most of that hardware will not be able to run currently available Windows systems (Win 10 or worse, Win 11), and many apps may not be compatible. Remember that it’s not just new installations that require activation, but any significant hardware changes to existing installations will also trigger it. Are you under the impression that Microsoft would win, or would necessarily even contest it? My money would be on the plaintiff.Īgain, Microsoft is well within its rights to discontinue maintenance and remedial support, but not to disable existing products that still work well for many people. I very much doubt that anyone is going to bring suit against Microsoft, and IANAL, but I would venture that if someone organized a class action suit, the outcome would be far from certain. I think it’s more that they’re indifferent and don’t consider it worthwhile to maintain XP activation servers. They continued automatic Win XP activation for many years after support ended, and it appears from some reports that telephone activation still works. No, it’s not obvious that Microsoft disagrees. Start a lawsuit to get it changed and see who the law agrees with. I consider anyone who has paid for a product license, or otherwise legitimately obtained a license, to be a legitimate user in perpetuity regardless of whether the product is still officially supported or not. ![]()
