SYMPTOMS
You are running Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 (SP2) on a computer that also has Winternals Administrator's Pak installed. You try to start Winternals Administrator's Pak by selecting the License.txt file in the license key window. However, the Activate button may remain unavailable in the license key window.



CAUSE
This issue occurs because Windows 2000 SP2 changes the way that the Cryptography API is implemented. The license verification of Winternals Administrator’s Pak implements the Cryptography API in the old way. Therefore, the license verification of Winternals Administrator’s Pak may not work correctly in Windows 2000 SP2.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, do not install Winternals Administrator's Pak together with Windows 2000 SP2.

Note This issue will be resolved in a release of Winternals Administrator's Pak.
