@yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot I don't know. If they have a database were used keys are checked during activation process, it could be difficult to globally crack this... ๐Ÿคท

if you change hardware and want to reuse the same digital key, as the key has already been used, activation on MS side will just be rejected: you have to buy a new digital key

digital keys don't work the same way than product keys (that are stored on hardware)

@yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot it seems not (cf. screenshot)

What I use is a digital license: it seems the digital license is not stored in the hardware
I suppose when it's activated, windows send information to a MS Server
They store the information the digital license is used by this user/hardware

If you try to reuse the digital license key, you'll be rejected during activation because it's already flagged as used on MS side

Something like this I think ๐Ÿ™ƒ

@yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot I bought a valid license key product of W11 of 0.14eur :ablobcatcoffee:
(And my w10 also have a valid license key bought for similar price)

It's an OEM license so once it's used, I can't reuse it on an another computer
But at this price I think it's Ok to buy a new one if the MB is dead ๐Ÿ˜…

But an another side, MB of a VM normally won't die ๐Ÿ’ช

I'm not sure what you mean by "since the vm doesn't provide the chip to embed the license"?

@yianiris @ajayiyer @nixCraft @linux @windowscentralbot most of windows users don't even know what is a partition... talking about GPT, you can be sure they'll interpret this as something related to ChatGPT... :ablobcatknitsweats:

also on my side, I have a w10 running in VM, with MBR.
cloned the VM and upgraded it to w11 took me time and I had to do a lot of tech stuff for the GPT
not hard, but technical; too technical for most of Windows users probably..

@Bro666 I wasn't aware of CTRL+M
This makes my day thanks!
(Then I'll maybe reconsider other applications for which hamburger seems to be the default...)

I always use classic menu and never saw that the hamburger menu already exists in Kate ๐Ÿ˜…

I was so afraid when I saw the screenshot :ablobcatknitsweats:

@whjjackwhite @[email protected] @[email protected] Ooh you means that's optional, and classic menu bar will still be here for whom prefer it!? :blobcataww:

@[email protected] @[email protected] ooh...
A hamburger menu in Kate :ablobcatknitsweats:

My fears seems to come true ๐Ÿ˜ฐ

I'll wait to see the final result but it's probably for me the signal to start to look for something else ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ
