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?


Works on all versions of Windows 7 Sp1. If you want I can post it to a
binary group.


I think I have it. It's called MicrosoftToolkit.exe?

To them, yes. You can't install Windows without agreeing to the terms
and conditions of the EULA. MS has yet to bring anyone to court because
they don't want their EULA subjected to court scrutiny.


Don't need to...there are enough existing court precedents supporting
EULA's as binding agreements.

Rulings have also upheld restrictions on Class Action Lawsuits (CAL).
- fyi MSFT changed their EULA on CAL's coincidentally after a 2011 5-4
Supreme Court decision citing an interpretation of the Federal
Arbitration Act effectively allowing corporations to even further limit
the publics legal rights via contract law.

I have something different but Microsoft Toolkit 251 works.
Here is a link to the official site. The MSTK 251 is a torrent file
and this is the safest place to download it:
