Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Windows 10, version 1607) continues our commitment to productivity, security, and privacy for all customers. Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise offer the functionality and safety features demanded by business and education customers around the globe. Windows 10 is the most secure Windows weve ever built. All of our Windows commercial editions can be configured to support the needs of schools, through group policies, domain join, and more. To learn more about Microsofts commitment to security and privacy in Windows 10, see more on both security and privacy. Windows 10, version 1607 offers a variety of new features and functionality, such as simplified provisioning with the Set up School PCs app or Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD), easier delivery of digital assessments with Take a Test, and faster log in performance for shared devices than ever before. These features work with all Windows for desktop editions, excluding Windows 10 Home. You can find more information about Windows 10, version 1607 on windows.com.Windows 10, version 1607 introduces two editions designed for the unique needs of K-12 institutions: Windows 10 Pro Education and Windows 10 Education. These editions provide education-specific default settings for the evolving landscape in K-12 education IT environments.
Windows 10 Pro Education builds on the commercial version of Windows 10 Pro and provides important management controls needed in schools. Windows 10 Pro Education is effectively a variant of Windows Pro that provides education-specific default settings, including the removal of Cortana*. These default settings disable tips, tricks and suggestions & Microsoft Store suggestions. More detailed information on these default settings is available in Manage Windows 10 and Microsoft Store tips, tricks, and suggestions.Windows 10 Pro Education is available on new devices pre-installed with Windows 10, version 1607 that are purchased with discounted K-12 academic licenses through OEM partners (these discounted licenses are sometimes referred to as National Academic or Shape the Future).Existing devices running Windows 10 Pro, currently activated with the original OEM digital product key and purchased with discounted K-12 academic licenses through OEM partners (these discounted licenses are sometimes referred to as National Academic or Shape the Future), will upgrade automatically to Windows 10 Pro Education as part of the Windows 10, version 1607 installation. Customers with Academic Volume Licensing agreements with rights for Windows can get Windows 10 Pro Education through the Volume Licensing Service Center, available at a later date.Customers that deploy Windows 10 Pro are able to configure the product to have similar feature settings to Windows 10 Pro Education using policies. More detailed information on these policies and the configuration steps required is available in Manage Windows 10 and Microsoft Store tips, tricks, and suggestions. We recommend that K-12 customers using commercial Windows 10 Pro read the document and apply desired settings for your environment.
Windows 10 Education builds on Windows 10 Enterprise and provides the enterprise-grade manageability and security desired by many schools. Windows 10 Education is effectively a variant of Windows 10 Enterprise that provides education-specific default settings, including the removal of Cortana*. These default settings disable tips, tricks and suggestions & Microsoft Store suggestions. More detailed information on these default settings is available in Manage Windows 10 and Microsoft Store tips, tricks, and suggestions.Windows 10 Education is available through Microsoft Volume Licensing. Customers who are already running Windows 10 Education can upgrade to Windows 10, version 1607 through Windows Update or from the Volume Licensing Service Center. We recommend Windows 10 Education to all K-12 customers as it provides the most complete and secure edition for education environments. If you do not have access to Windows 10 Education, contact your Microsoft representative or see more information here.Customers that deploy Windows 10 Enterprise are able to configure the product to have similar UI feature settings to Windows 10 Education using policies. More detailed information on these policies and the configuration steps required is available in Manage Windows 10 and Microsoft Store tips, tricks, and suggestions. We recommend that K-12 customers using commercial Windows 10 Enterprise read the document and apply desired settings for your environment.For any other questions, contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support.
I followed the directions for Keyless Activation. Since I already have a site License with Shield I removed my domain name and then added it back in and did the license verification and that was OK. I went through the set-up Wizard, but nowhere does it say I have the Pro version. The version shown is 8.4.4 Is this the Pro version?
Generating and verifying license keys is a common requirement for a lot commercial softwarethese days. From desktop applications such as those built on frameworks like Electronor Qt, to dual-licensed open source packages and libraries like Sidekiq,to a variety of other on-premise software applications and dependencies.
When it comes to software licensing, the key generation and verification algorithms vendorschoose can make or break a licensing system. After an algorithm has been compromised, a vendorcan no longer trust any previously generated license keys, including those belonging to legitend-users.
Both of these solutions can come at a huge cost, both in terms of end-user trust, support costs,as well as engineering resources. Suffice it to say, it's a bad situation. And ideally, what wewant to do is avoid the situation entirely, by choosing a modern, secure license keyalgorithm from the get-go.
Software cracks usually only work for a single version of a particular application, sincethe application code itself is modified to bypass any license checks (meaning a softwareupdate often requires an updated crack for the new application code.) Distributing acracked version of an application falls on the bad actor.
The other major attack vector is known as a software "keygen", which is much more ominous. Asits name may imply, a keygen is a form of software, often a separate program or webpage, thatgenerates valid license keys, i.e. a key-generator, or "keygen."
Most software vendors have some type of license keygen, which they keep secret. For example, aftera user submits a successful purchase order, part of the order process calls a key generator, whichgenerates a valid, legitimate license key for the new customer.
Depending on your key generation algorithm, a keygen like this may only be able to generate validkey for a single version of an application. But in the worst case, a bad actor can create a keygenthat generates valid license keys that work across all versions of an application, requiringa complete upheaval of the product's licensing system.
Partial Key Verificationis a software license key algorithm that partitions a product key into multiple "subkeys."With each new version of your product, your license key verification algorithm will check a differentsubset of a license's subkeys.
Our PKV keygen should be a tightly kept trade secret, because with it comes the power to craftlicense keys at-will. But we'll soon realize, much to our demise, keeping a PKV keygen secretis actually not possible.
If you notice, getSubkeyFromSeed(seed, 24, 3, 200) is deriving an expected 0th subkey from theseed value. We then compare the expected 0th subkey to our license key's actual 0th subkey. If thesubkeys don't match, the license key is not valid.
Some applications will have a central point in the bytecode where this check happens, but othersharden their system by inlining the license key checks, making the work of a bad actor wanting tocrack the software much, much harder. But licensing is all essentially the same: it's a seriesof conditionals.
With that in mind, there's no benefit to using PKV, a licensing scheme that will eventuallyleak its secrets to any bad actor that is looking, vs. modern cryptography. It's not more secure,it's not easier to distribute, and it doesn't protect you from keygens. PKV is, by design,security through obscurity. And it should no longer be used.
When choosing a modern license key algorithm, we have a quite a few solid options. For example, ourAPI supports a variety of cryptographic schemes for license keys, from elliptic-curve signatures,to RSA signatures and even encryption. Today, we'll be covering elliptic-curve and RSA-2048 signatures.
The license keys we generate may differ in length, depending on the cryptographic scheme we use,but the format is going to stay the same: some encoded data, a delimiter ".", and a cryptographicsignature of the data. (This is more or less the same format our API uses for cryptographic keys.)
After generating our keypair, we're going to want to keep those encoded keys in a safeplace. We'll use the private signing key for our keygen, and we'll use the publicverify key to verify authenticity of license keys within our application.
What's great about this license key format is that we can embed any dataset intoit that we need. Right now, we're embedding the customer's email, but we could includeother information as well, such as order ID, key expiration date, entitlements, andmore. (It could even be a JSON object, which is actually the default for our API.)
One downside is that the more data you embed, the larger the license keys will become.But in the real world, this isn't really an issue, since the majority of users willcopy-and-paste their license keys, as opposed to typing them in by hand. 2b1af7f3a8
