Bypassing Genuine Windows Advantage

Windows Genuine Advantage (or WGA) is a piece of anti-piracy software that Microsoft has started using in their applications and software updates to verify that those who wish to install the software are using legitimate copies and not pirated ones. While this may seem good and dandy, WGA has caused problems even for users who actually bought copies of Microsoft software, so you may find that you need to bypass it. There are some products on which WGA can be bypassed with a piece of software called Orca. Open the installer with Orca, then select CustomAction, then on the CHECK_WGA action, select Drop Row. Next, look for the CheckWGA dialog and change the value from 2 to 0 and save. Now you can run the installer WGA free.
