Why is RC1 telling me it's going to expire in 8 days?
I am running RC1 build 7100 and I am now receiving activation notices stating that I need to install a "released" version of Windows 7 Ultimate and to back up all of my data before the beta product expires.
Windows is showing a correct date of 6/23/09. Anyone else getting this?? |

Windows 7 Ultimate retail // Windows 7 build 7264 x64, Vista Home Premium SP2 x64

I upgraded from beta to rc, so its prolly not that, theres a chance it is, but i wouldnt think so. I would try as BoonC said and put in the activation key again, or maybe even get another from the microsoft website

I am getting the same thing - I've already retried my RC key. I'll get a new one, see if that helps. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

if you upgraded a beta to the rc, theres likely problems with the registry.
the beta is about to expire, so my guess is that your system thinks its a beta. try a clean install, with the 7100. it should fix it. |

Nah that's whats jacked up, I did a clean install from beta to RC1. RC1 wouldn't let me upgrade from Beta, it actually told me I had to do a clean install.
How can I reactivate? Activation center shows it's activated already and genuine and all that bs. |

Click on "Change product key" under Windows Activation in the System page.

Logon password will expire in 5 days Hi, I've just noticed a fleeting reminder, in my system tray, that my logon password will expire in 5 days. This was under the wording (I think) of Windows Logon Reminder. It appeared in my non-admin account. I have another, admin account. I have never set Windows to make logon passwords... |
