Activation of Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation

I installed Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation edition. According to the watermark on my desk, I have a 90-day windows license. After the period of 90 days, I will be able to activate it for a full version, and if so, how can I do?

It is not possible to activate the trial version.

Things to know before you start
The evaluation version will expire and cannot be upgraded.
To upgrade, the assessment must be uninstalled and a retail version of Windows must be reinstalled from your original installation media.
Consider running evaluation edition in a virtual environment or install on a partition or separate hard disk. Allow you to upgrade your original Windows installation to Windows 8.
Your registration (required) you need to connect with a Microsoft account and provide your name, email address and country.
You must activate the product online in 10 days after installation.
Once the assessment is installed, you can not pass. To return to an earlier version of Windows, you must do a clean install of your original installation media.
(...)

After the evaluation period, you will need to replace the operating system on your test computer and reinstall all your programs and data. It is not possible to update the assessment to a licensed version of Windows 8 work. A new installation is required.

  • Windows 7 Enterprise to my college for personal computer - bad idea? Activation key?

    If I get Windows 7 Enterprise to my college for a personal computer, do need me an activation key? Also, is there reason it would bad get this version of Windows-like when I'm no longer the college, there are problems with my computer?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    The way that some colleges set up is, when you graduate you can continue running the license, but if you lose it by formatting the machine or otherwise, you will need to buy a license or reinstall the original license that you ran before the upgrade of the company.

    Some colleges use KMS license that requires that the license be reactivated in 180 days. Thus, you need to remove after you graduate, because you will not be able to connect to the school network and turn it back on, which is required by KMS activation.

    A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.

    Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:

    And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.

    With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

  • Error activate Windows 7 Enterprise 0xC004C020

    Recently, I demanded a restoration of a backup of my Win 7 Enterprise install.

    Windows told me that I needed to activate it. During the attempt, I got an error of activation 0xC004C020

    I realize that it is a code of volume and the number of activations has been exceeded. However, the problem is that this error code occurs after a restoration that seems to me to be a problem. I don't understand why this should happen in this case. I can't have a new code for this computer as the financial support of our group is limited. Is there something that can be done?

  • Windows 7 Enterprise 90 day trial removed

    I guess that Windows 7 90 day evaluation has been removed?

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-Windows-7-Enterprise

    If this is the case could Microsoft makes mention that the evaluation of Windows 7 is discontinued opposed to simply omit it. The tab on IE says "Try Windows 7 Enterprise" it is difficult to 'try' when Windows 7 is not listed.

    Looks like it was deleted indeed. If get you your hands on a disc of Windows 7 Ultimate, you can use it and do an install without a key and it reset for 180 days.

  • Windows 7 Enterprise Serial Key suddenly not valid

    Hi all

    I had my W7 Enterprise key for more than 5 years with no problems, making a certain re installs due to various problems (HARD & Mo disk failures).

    A few days ago (after battling a virus naughty (and eventually won), my Windows 7 Enterprise tells me now that I am the victim of counterfeit software, my desktop background is black, a message at the bottom right says "Windows 7, Build7601, this copy of windows is not genuine" I am also square box pop ups reminding me this fact regularly.)

    I tried to re entry and re activate my legitimate copy of windows nothing helped.

    My key is legitimate, I've been through the online help of regular MS who have told me that they have validated the serial key, but can't help me because it's a company that issued my key for me.

    Can a MS teach, please advise how I can re entry and re activate my windows, to return to normal as soon as possible.

    Thank you very much.

    Rick

    You certainly have a MAK (Multiple Activation Key) key.

    If an organization exceeds the MAK activation limit, then its TI
    Professional can contact the activation call center to request
    other activations.

    You can try also reactivate by calling Microsoft Volume License Activation Center:

    2. get a MAK or KMS key by phone by the
