Unlike Service Pack1 for Windows XP, Service Pack 2 will be allowed to be installed on both licensed as well as pirated copies of Windows.
I guess they didn’t have a choice. SP2 is very important security fix to prevent all the viruses from affecting other Windows machines. So they want even the systems which run pirated copies to be protected from viruses so that they don’t infect the systems running license copies!

I tried SP-2 official patch on a machine where the SP-1 had installed successfully. (It wouldn’t on most pirated installations). It did not work. I have to find a solution to it.
