HOW long does reactvation to windows 7 last.

HOW long does reactvation to windows 7 last. ACTUALLY I used win 7 for years before activation even with all the nuisances.

You must have a legally activated copy of Seven to obtain help. Why dont you activate your copy?
If you have an activated copy and are asking how long will it last the answer is until you reinstall.

 

[DeaconFrost]

With a legit, legal copy, as mentioned, it will last until you reinstall, or you start making some hardware changes...then it my prompt to be reactivated.

If you bought your machine with Windows pre-installed, Windows activated itself at every boot using the OEM_SLP Key.
If you installed windows from a retail or OEM System builder disk, then it would have demanded activation within 30 days of install.

If you installed a hacked copy, anything could happen.

I have been operating win 7 (2 copies) bought at Newegg since the year it came out. Only one asked me to
activate and I really didn't have to because I was using it on only one computer. Stupid Microsoft!!!

 

[DeaconFrost]

Stupid Microsoft!!!

You haven't actually explained a problem or an issue yet, and you're already blaming Microsoft?

Secoind thoughts....
Build 7077 is a BETA version of SP1
You need to uninstall it and install the release version

 

[Abhishek kumar]

all right
which version ??

 

[DeaconFrost]

all right
which version ??

Whatever version you want to purchase. The message means you are using a beta version, and not the final product. Unless you have another license, you'll need to go purchase one.

Please start a new thread - thread hijacking is not polite.

Activation lasts until you reinstall it.

Not true I have reinstalled this win 7 many times.

. I installed a new win 7 in 2008 (the first year of win 7?) fresh from Newegg. There was no change in bios or motherboard. Maybe the problem was that I was trying to change boot drives to a newer hd. For a while I had two boots on the same drive. Microsoft does not have a way of removing the boot that I didn't want to use so it was Microsoft's fault that I could not remove the boot and windows information. I could not spend a lot of time backing up data and then deleting the drive. That is a waste of time and energy. So I found a way of deleting the windows folder and the boot information to make the drive non bootable just using Ubuntu disk.

So really like I said before the only thing I had to tell them when I did reactivate was how many computers the win 7 was being used on. Just ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope Microsoft gets it act together and not think it is god.

From now on I will preach the following to others who have Win 7: After your first activation and if you don't change bios or motherboard then you really don't have to reactivate it AGAIN!!! You might get black backgrounds and stupid notices that you win 7 is not valid or the real thing. IGNORE THOSE THING AND GO ON COMPUTING!!!!
MICROSOFT IS JUST TRYING TO STEAL YOUR MONEY.
BY THE WAY I THINK WIN 8 WILL JUST BE A FAILURE. IT CAN'T COMPETE WITH APPLE IPAD OR IPHONE AND CERTAINLY NOT ANDROID!!

Since Windows 7 wasn't released until November of 2009 you'd have had a problem buying it anywhere before then.

Darn it, lost a couple cans of beer from that six pack. . .has anybody seen them. . .

 

[NoelDP]

A little googling shows that the OP has actually published his FULL Key on the internet - I would not be surprised to hear that it has been blocked for abuse.

That explains it.
