Hi everyone!

I installed a clean RTM 7600 (or at least that is what I hope I did). I did not activate during install, and after 30 days I got the reminder that I should activate... However, at the same time, I also got a watermark on the desktop saying "This copy is not original...".

I then re-armed and rebooted: I got a pop-up message again saying that the copy may not be original; I clicked OK, and now the watermark on the desktop is gone.

Is this normal? :sarc:

Thanks,
diodorus

Is this an offical image from Microsoft? Or did you download it from some third-party? If the later case, then sure this could be normal behavior.

If the clock is not correct you may get the not original watermark
