But it could possibly take all day to resolve. Perhaps even longer, if I'm left with a non-working OS because of the copy protection and I'm forced to completely reinstall the OS.

(My guess is that if the OS's don't like the swap and they go bad because of it, then swapping them back will leave them in the bad state rather than magically fixing them.)

If that's no help just patch the OS with one of the many tools designed to get around what you're looking at.


Since these are both work machines, and our company is very careful about making sure all of our software licenses are legal, I can't use tools that would circumvent copy protection.
