    Windows 7 Activation not sticking


    Hey guys,

    I have an end user that we upgraded to Win 7 as a test run and her activation keeps popping up even after activating it and getting the genuine software screen. She doesn't get the "this version of Windows you are running may be pirated" it just reverts to being unactivated like it never happened in the first place. Has anyone ever had this happen and if so, how did you fix it?

    And no, we're not running any software like Deep Freeze or the sort. Just a standard AD and domain policies etc.

    I've had that happen once or twice. I think it was a Microsoft windows update that did it. Every once in a while they update the activation technology/genuine advantage and it resets it. I just re-activated on line and it was fine again.
