He means if you don't activate you will only get the 30 trial (though it can simply be rearmed).
But as my shot above proves, there are ways to activate the other versions.

I WAS wondering why anyone wouldent want ultimate.... But, i think i have figured out why.
Their is another post on here about the low specs this o.s. can run on. And thats ultimate. By trying "Home Basic" this may be able to install on even lower systems. Than The 512mb and 1.#ghz that someone else put ultimate on
You wouldn't seeing basic going on anything much less cpu wise while you might be able to squeeze it on when less memory was seen simply from having fewer processes to start with being the stripped down edition. Yet someone recently stuck Windows 3.1 on a Nokia N95 cell phone so anything is possible.![]()
This trick WON'T extend the final windows expiry date.
This is easy to check -- back up your system first.
1) DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET ( and stay disconnected to avoid any Servers / internet date / calendars from checking the date.
2) set the BIOS (not system date -- must be the BIOS date) to say 3 days before the expiry date.
3) do the slmgr -rearm.
4) re-boot again -- setting the BIOS date AFTER the windows expiry date.
5) you'll now see the product cannot be activated . Features will start running in Reduced functionality mode as well.
Don't forget to re-set your BIOS date back to current date after you've finished

I never said it would extend the expiration date? Just open up all versions as an option on install.
The proffesional, home basic etc (if you know how to activate them, i guess i am not allowed to explain here) they will last till exactly the same date as ultimate.
Only AFTER its been activated....
30 day? The official non leaked Build 7000's don't expire till August.
does this work for builds 7022 7048 7057 too?
