  Download From Microsoft Without a WGA Check
Time: 00:57 EST/05:57 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

When you want to download a file from Microsoft a WGA (windows genuine advantage) check is performed. Microsoft installs a small piece of software on your computer that contacts the Microsoft server and checks for validity. If the test fails you will not be able to download the file(s). The following method gives you the ability to download every file from Microsoft without a WGA check.

1. download mgadiag.exe
2. start mgadiag.exe and look at the download center code
3. visit a download page at microsoft.com
4. append &Hash=”download center code” to the url (example &Hash=6VJPCR9), no quotation marks needed
5. Hit enter

Hey this actually seems to work! I had to get the actual download center code from a legal version of Windows XP, but pasting "=&Hash=downloadcentercode" at the end of the URL did work! Please note! You need to have another "=" sign BEFORE the "&". I tried it out on the Windows Defender page. Once there was a "validation required" notice on the page with a continue button, I just pasted that at the end of the URL and it took me directly to the download page!
