might be a good idea to tell us what version (build ie 7100) you have.

No keys other than those officially supplied by Microsoft will activate the RTM (retail) versions of Windows 7 - Not entering any key will provide 30 days grace before the key must be entered
you can install it without a key and use it for up to 90days, after the first 29days you just run "slmgr.exe /rearm" from a command line.

But Don't rearm it until the 29th day, that way you will have
a longer time with windows 7.
