What triggers Online Genuine Validation for systems running volume editions of Windows Vista?
Online validation is required in order to access certain content on the Microsoft Download Centre. Anti-piracy components of Windows Vista may also detect if the operating system has been tampered with or is not properly licensed. For example, discovery of tampered licensing components could require that the operating system validate, activate or be repaired or reinstalled.
