Strange issue with Activation
When I installed Win7 RTM, I also ran a utility to display my Motherboard MFG (Asus) in the System window. No biggie, I never ran or used any cracks.
Last month, I ran the update issued to verify activation and product keys.
I expected it to fail, it did. It began asking me for a valid product key.
So, I ran the rearm (first time) option.
The screen says I am activated and I am receiving updates.
Two weeks later, I purchased the Ultimate (retail) package from a local store.
I was expecting Windows to tell me after 30 days to enter a product key or I would have to rearm.
This has not happened yet.
Is there another way to enter the new product key in Windows 7?
