I know the tool let's us see the remaining activations left, but can we see who where these activations were done? In other words, if security was compromised, could we locate the machine(s) that a MAK was installed with a Windows 7 enterprise install on it. or is that kept private by microsoft especially if it wasnt activated on our LAN. Thanks Continue reading...
