Yeah...you might want to *ahem* 'sidestep' this one unless you have a legit copy...

Redfish · « **Reply #362 on:** February 23, 2010, 07:53:53 PM »

I'll try it out on virtualbox to see what really happens with this one I have, when I get some time...

Thanks for the heads up arc, was now about to run win update, and it had so much updates i wasn't gonna read through all.

Yup sidestepped that one a few times over. I am waiting to see if later down the line they don't make it mandatory for you to install it O_o

lol, I just installed Windows 7 Home Premium to replace my RC. Works like a charm. Fact, works even better than the RC.

Nothing beats the feeling of a squeaky clean OS. Didn't format the partition mind you, so all my old data is still there.

Surprisingly, steam worked without a hitch. No need to even re-install or re-download the games or anything. Very impressive.

i'm seriously surprised that the update wasn't made mandatory to begin with. who's at MS thought making

the consumer choose if to download the update or not was a good idea? not that i'm complaining or anything.

*Cpt Awesome pets flash drive that contains legit Windows 7 ENTERPRISE key*

I looked at that update, laughed, and installed it this morning. I felt like Jack Bauer.

Jack Bauer decides when windows is genuine, not microsoft hahahaha

Awesome, I don't follow how an Enterprise key would work.

Is it going to activate an unlimited number of times? Or is it good for say 20 activations?

How does one go about getting an Enterprise key? (serious question)

*edit* ok, so I found this very detailed article on enterprise activation.

Interesting stuff

Our Ministry obtained an Enterprise key that activates both x86 and x64 versions of enterprise under the Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft (not related to the version of the OS). If im not mistaken, its good for somewhere in the vicinity of 1000 machines.

Enterprise licenses are available only for organizations though. No way an individual can obtain one.

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #372 on:** February 25, 2010, 04:14:51 PM »

Well microsoft's office is literally next door to our head office. lol

Might have to ask someone to sneak over and eyeball an enterprise key for the boys.

Arcmanov · « **Reply #373 on:** February 25, 2010, 04:34:19 PM »

...but don't you need a VLK server to properly activate that Enterprise version?

I tried doing one over the innanetz, but was unsuccessful.

Spazosaurus · « **Reply #374 on:** February 25, 2010, 04:38:56 PM »

Remember there are two types of volume licensing keys. You probably used a KMS key which REQUIRES a KMS infrastructure server on your network which validates the keys.

On the other hand, you have the MAK or multiple activation key that can be used to activate the product over the net using MS's servers for verification...which is what we have. We have both actually.

fk all ah that, oem version of win pro is like 140us

premium is like 100

i just buying the bleedy thing

note: you on your own for product support M$ doh offer support beyond the license for oem

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #376 on:** February 25, 2010, 05:09:53 PM »

yeah Arc, if you read the link I posted, it explains all of that in great great detail. Even included Enterprise keys for various versions..as well as the difference with MAK.

I'm with Neph. Windows 7 is very reasonably priced for what it does. Bought several copies already and will continue to do so.

The Home Premium working good and doing everything I need and more. Costs like US$110.00 (before shipping and handling). That's like the cost of two games and I'm gonna be "playing" Windows 7 for a helluva lot longer than I play any one game. lol

I was looking to see how many times each MAK can be activated, cuz we don't have that many MAK's (and like only 10 for Ultimate)

The amount of times the MAK can be activated will depend solely on the number of activations that were purchased. I imagine that the entity making hte purchase will be able to choose the amount they want.

Netizen1 · « **Reply #379 on:** February 26, 2010, 01:35:19 PM »

Actually, you can't choose the amount of MAK's you get... I also found that annoying. 10 Ultimate MAK's are too little IMO
