I think _that_'s probably where the 120 days comes from: the idea was to
let you upgrade (or replace broken bits of) your computer, but if you
appeared to have replaced too much of it within a certain time, it
triggered a re-ac. Presumably you could replace a third of it in 40 days
or something like that, and allowing the whole computer in a third of
the year was a good compromise between allowing upgrades and stopping
piracy: the pirates were only going to be able to do at most 3 computers
a year.

But what do I know.


Piracy has always been MUCH easier than not.


My main computer has legit windows but for all my virtual machines I
use an activation 'tool'. So much easier, just a couple of mouse
clicks and Windows is activated.


How does that work? Will it work on the trial Enterprise version of Win 7?
