I was wondering two things:

1. will the rearm command work on this version (i.e.- can there be three 90 day terms, like is described here?). Maybe not three, but does rearm work at all?

2. There is a way to delete a file and allow installation of any version of Win7 from the RTM; does this also work on the Win7 Enterprise so I could install Ultimate, for example, instead of Enterprise?

Thanks

1) I doubt it. The eval version will run (without restrictions) for 10 days without activation. The 90 days is after activation using a pre-applied key. If the re-arm applies only to the unactivated copy (as it does for the RTM), and you are allowed 3 re-arms, that'd buy you an additional 30 days at most.

2) Maybe. The Enterprise iso is about 100MB smaller than the RTM Ultimate one, but it still contains the ei.cfg file. However, I expect that the pre-applied license key would only support the Enterprise version, so even if you could install one of the other versions, you couldn't activate it.

I've included some facts above. Their consequences are speculative on my part.

(1) Unknown as of yet, but fairly pointless since it's going to expire anyway. If anyone gives a hoot about re-arm, there's the RTM version. And in a couple more weeks, anyone installing RTM early will simply be able to buy the final version on October 22, thus circumventing any "need" to re-arm.

(2) No.

The Enterprise trial is primarily useful for the IT pros at whom it's targeted. It also gives others the ability to download a "trial" directly from Microsoft and have it run for 90 days. But for anyone who wants to mess around with re-arms, or installing other versions prior to official release, etc., it's pretty much not worth it. And installing anything else is going to require an entirely fresh install. You can't "upgrade" from this to anything else.

As far as I am aware enterprise and Ultimate are feature identical only the licensing structure is different
