Microsoft 2 manual Required Privilege Administrator

Volume Activation 2.0 Operations Guide

Required Privilege: Administrator

Note: This is enforced by the Software Licensing Service and registry ACLs. A registry override in Windows Vista allows a standard user to call specific methods. These are designated with (*) after the method's name. To do this, an administrator must create and set the following new registry value:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SL

Value Name: UserOperations

Type: DWORD

Value Data: 1

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
