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.

120 days. 30 + 3 re-arms of 30 each.

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