    Hello!

    For this update for Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 Edition (KB2506014) is no WGA check required update for Windows 7 for x 64-based systems (KB2506014) requires the WGA check. For all, this should be the same, and be not bypassable.

    Thank you for bring this to my attention.

    I have confirmed that the Vista and Windows 7 versions of this Update do require WGA Check and the Server 2008 version does not.  I believe Server related updates are exempt from WGA check so this would be By Design.

     

    However, this update appears to be a security update and as such, none of the versions should require a WGA check at all.

     

    I am looking into the issue to get confirmation that these updates are security related and if so, to have the WGA Check removed.

     

    Thank you again for the information,

    Darin MS

    Updates for security patches should not require WGA in the interest of security for all of us.  I don't want someone not patching his Windows because he is afraid of a negative validation.  I want to be protected from his computer.
