WiMP Security Patch changes M$ EULA

What operating system do you have?

And are you sure the IDs, shown in the about section of the programs, are different for WMP and the system? From what I can tell, WMP takes its ID from the system (at least on Windows XP).

TIA.

UPDATE: I have confirmed WMP can have its own ID in Windows 95/98/ME.

 

Hi Javacool,

I run W98SE Dutch.
WMP 7.01.00.3055 is also a Dutch version.
I made a screenshot of all three ID's which I mentioned above.
Yes, they are all three different!
Is the place which I mentioned above the right one where to get the ID from System?
For the System ID I have an ID with OEM mentioned in it; the other two ID's have definitely not such "OEM" mentioned in it.

 

Aah. Thank you very much for your reply.

The "OEM" bit is just what I was looking for.

In this case, I am assuming the versions of IE and WMP that you have were updated/upgraded at some point. Since they were then no longer "OEM" versions, they must have generated a new product ID for themselves...(very interesting).

Yes, that is right: IE and WMP were indeed updated/upgraded compared to what was originally installed on this system.
