Why would the pirated version activate against anything? It's pirated. It's not like Microsoft is giving away Windows 10......

ah ok i see now, the pirated version is different than the genuine ones in terms of activation
thank you Dude for the info

Ah, not sure. It's an old version of Windows I've not seen in a long time and not sure how the activation of your specific version works as we can normally ignore that. Sorry, not something I would remember.

Very important thing to note here..... there is no "the pirates version". This version is pirated, yes. But we are talking here like Microsoft puts out a version that is specifically modified for pirates and then hidden or something. That's not how it works. Somehow, this install was pirated. We don't know how. There is no way to answer your question because of the pirating - we don't have a means of looking up the behaviour. This is simply an "unknown" situation due to the lack of MS licensing visibility. No way to know until you try.

My point is that the key he's been using has likely been blacklisted. Therefor it wouldn't have anything to activate against.

It would have something to activate against, it would just fail, in that instance. Your answer led him to the opposite conclusion from what you intended.
