I believe the <em>MediaBootInstall </em>registry change is what allows it to activate. Once activated, no need to worry about timers, 30 day notices, etc. <strong>Activated is activated.</strong> But I will find out, I just installed Win 7 on a machine and using this method was able to activate it. If it stops working later, I will certainly post an update.
