abguess Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I was just wondering if I could use Automatic updates on a cracked Windows Vista? Another question is- Do I need Automatic Updates? Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/40328-can-i-use-automatic-updates-on-a-cracked-vista/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe75 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) You can use auto update if you want but I'd recommend against it and would choose to be notified when an update is available. If you use a crack to get past the 30 day mark you will get an update for validation, do not install that update.

abguess Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 So what you mean is that I should update manually? So that the Automatic Updator won't choose to install the validation stuff?

joe75 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Thats right and you'll also see what the updates are, most of the time Vista will just update quietly and only show the toll bar icon saying it's already updating. You are not able to see the update list until it's already done.

tripleboot Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 Until there is a WGA crack for Vista forget the autoupdates because Vista will require you to authenticate your copy of Vista just like it does for XP. If you have an updated WGA bypass for XP for example you can autoupdate. Just be patient.
