Windows Anytime Upgrade

Windows Anytime Upgrade (WAU) is an upgrade method offered by Microsoft and selected licensed resellers for users who wish to upgrade any non-Ultimate edition of Windows 7. The Windows 7 version of Windows Anytime Upgrade introduced many improvements, notably the upgrade time has been reduced to around 10 minutes, and upgrade license keys can be purchased at retail.

Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade does not require physical media and installs the extra components of the Windows 7 edition from the Component-based servicing (CBS) store located on the system.

Microsoft's current marketing material states that all installation media will contain all the functionality of the highest SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) and that higher level functions will be disabled through winlogon.exe and pidgen.dll. This is what is also used in differentiating between Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional. In practical terms, this means that the license purchased online effectively determines which version of the operating system customers can upgrade from and to.

The news is that hackers have now cracked open the Windows Anytime Upgrade key generation algorithm for Windows 7 and released the utility "Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade CD-Key Generator" which churns out illegal upgrade keys allowing pirates to upgrade and activate Windows 7 OS to higher SKU's like from Home Premium to Professional or Ultimate without paying Microsoft a dime.


"Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade CD-Key Generator" is now in the wild and can be easily downloaded from warez sites, torrent portals and one-click file hosters like rapidshare, hotfile and megaupload.
