Even if the RC keys won't work, who cares lol?? :laugh:

You could use it for 30 days, and the RTM is expected in 2~3 weeks.

btw, 7279?? lmao :laugh:

as long as you have a rtm key that is. In fact as a technet subscriber, only rc1 keys are posted so far and I'm not sure how long it will take them to post RTM and keys once it goes gold. Could be weeks out for all we know.

In that case enter the DOS command [slmgr.vbs -dlv], if you find on the script "remaining number of re-arm=3"(translation from Chinese, something like that),then you could assure yourself that you are able to run it for 120 days totally legit.

The only keys that will work for legit activation with 7264 are RTM keys which no one really has, period, end of story. The few people making claims about using RC keys and getting it working are basically lying about it.

I'd hate to get warnings, so only giving out this screen-shot, done by the well-known work-around.

That "thread" was one single post so, I can't see how it is "more useful."

But my statement made earlier is still correct: there are no legit methods of activating 7264 without an actual proper RTM key - workarounds don't fall under the "legit" heading...

I just gotta wonder: who the hell bothers to activate their installations of beta/RC code anyway? I mean, since most of us do tend to reinstall quite often, especially in periods where an OS is close to release and the beta/RC builds are flowing like honey, so to speak, who ever goes more than 30 days without a reinstall anyway?

I've probably installed Windows 7 a total of 2500 times so far since last August with all the builds and all the machines I've used it on... I've only activated it 3 times, the rest just get reinstalls < 30 days for a variety of reasons, usually because of a new leaked build.

The rampant fascination with activation just completely stumps me...

thats why RC/beta keys are still working on 7260 right? think before you write please :o

im sure some people want me to apologise, but oh well, my bottom line with this post was "if RC keys did work in first win7rtm branch build, there is no reason to assume they dont work in "next" win7rtm build until its proven otherwise". But ye rc keys dont work anymore :) Just saying that people shouldnt jump to conclusion without any facts, all we can do is assume according to previous expiriance(build) in which they did work :)

One reason to activate would be if you wanted to download a particular application directly from Microsoft, something like DirectX, this often requires the system to pass a Genuine advantage check to proceed.

I'm quite sure the OS will pass this validation check if it's not activated...that's how Vista works.

Why activate anyway, just use rearm if you need to between builds. Anyway, RTM will be here within 2 weeks or so.

I'm running 7260 unactivated and I can download anything I want, the WGA stuff is irrelevant if I use IE - it only flares up when I attempt to do the download with Firefox where it requires me to do that stupid download of the code generator.

Activation is not a requirement of downloading items from Microsoft because they themselves still allow it with that ActiveX applet (only applicable to IE, of course).

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
