Конец халяве с VLK

В следующей версии Windows Майкрософт введет систему регистрации и аудита для корпоративных версий.

Starting with the release of Vista and "Longhorn" Windows server next year, customers will be required to register their volume license keys (VLK) with Microsoft within 30 days of acquisition and report their license usage on a monthly basis, executives said. ........ According to sources familiar with the plan, Microsoft's key management server would keep track of the active CALs and servers customers deployed and send an audit report in every 30 day.
