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? -- Alias |

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. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

The MSTK 251 is a torrent file and this is the safest place to download it: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/thr...osoft-Products Thanks. -- Alias |
