Software piracy is the mislicensing, unauthorized reproduction and illegal distribution of software, whether for business or personal use. Protect yourself from the risks of software piracy with helpful tips how to identify counterfeit or other misuse of software.
Windows Product Activation
Activation is an anti-piracy technology designed to make sure that the proper product key is being properly used with the software license associated with it. All editions and distributions of Windows Xp/Vista, including those obtained through a volume license program, are required to complete activation within the first 30 days of using Windows XP/Vista. Because activation is required, failure to activate will result in the system being placed in a reduced functionality mode.

WGA and data collection:
None of the information collected by WGA will be used by Microsoft to personally identify or contact you. To help you validate your software, the WGA tools must collect a certain amount of configuration information from your computer. The data collected includes:
- Computer make and model.
- Version information for the operating system and software using Genuine Advantage.
- Region and language setting.
- A unique number assigned to your computer by the tools (Globally Unique Identifier or GUID).
- Product ID and product key.
- BIOS name, revision number, and revision date.
- Volume serial number.
In addition to the configuration information above, status information such as the following is also transferred:
- Whether the installation was successful.
- The result of the validation check.
As standard procedure, your Internet Protocol (IP) address is temporarily logged when your computer connects to a WGA website or server. These logs are routinely deleted.

How does OGA Notifications Work?
Office Genuine Advantage Notifications automatically checks the validity of your Office license. It's fast, easy, and private. As described in our privacy statement, Microsoft does not use any information collected by OGA to identify you or contact you.
If there is a problem with your Office license, you will be given simple steps to fix it. Microsoft can help you by offering:
- A detailed description of the cause of the problem. For example, you may have accidentally received a product key that was reported as lost or stolen by its original owner. Sometimes, during a repair or reinstall, an invalid product key is used if the original product key is not handy.
- A replacement copy of Office. If you are a victim of software counterfeiting, you may qualify for a free replacement copy.
In most cases, Office passes validation immediately. In the event of a validation failure, Office will give you reminders to take further action.
