  Unfortunately, there is no version of FreeRADIUS for Windows.

  You can search the net and find one, but it violates our license.  Source code is not available, and the individual involved hasn't answered any emails.

  Plus, I've seen complaints from many people that when they install it, it asks for a license key, etc.

  If you're running it on Windows, either (a) you should send me a copy of the source code, or (b) you're using a version which violates the GPL.

  Given the history of the "FreeRADIUS for Windows" project, I have every reason to believe that the individual behind it is not just violating our license, but he's very likely doing many more illegal things.  i.e. putting malware / spyware onto your systems.

  Don't use fraudulent software from untrusted sources.
