Questions about system activation

[Lanthus20]

Today I logged into windows 7 RTM and I checked my system. It says under windows activation

Status Not Available
Product ID: Not Available

does this mean that there is somehow no activation period? I still hadn't activated it with a valid key as I don't have one but since it says not available will I not have to?

No, that's not what it means. It simply takes a little while to check the activation status. If you watch the screen for a short while, it should update itself and report the correct activation status, in your case, not activated and how many days left to activate.

ok thanks!

EDIT: Its not coming up. It still says that after more then a minute with just it running.

The Status No Available if longer than 2 to 5 secs... is found when you are using Illegal Programs to attempt Illegal Activation.
