IE 7 Beta Validation Protected

Fear Itself

hey guys... the IE 7 Beta gotta released publicly today and I wanted to check it out, but when i goto install it, there is a validation check. I have the latest version of the windows genuine advantage tool, but my system still failed the check.

Any advice on how to pass the validation check? I also heard that if you fail the check, your system gets blacklisted? Any help would be great...

p.s. no replies with "just use firefox" pleez0rz

Then the serial number will be registered to two different computers, therefore invalidating the second pirate computer? There is no way to circumvent this protection.

Not if your employer uses windows 2000, there are dual 2000/xp serials for every machine - Which SOME employers handily stick to every machine :lol:

Having said that I don't think it matters anyway, I've registered 2 pcs with the same serial (it might even be 3, I can't remember)

Did the installations all pass the validation check during "Automatic updates" from the MS website? Security updates are still available for invalid serial numbers though.
