Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available for online purchase in my country
Separated from this thread.
I live in the United States and I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and I went to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with Windows Anytime Upgrade only to find out that it is no longer available for online purchase in my country or region.
Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available, ended around October 2013. If you need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional, you will need to purchase a retail upgrade or version license full, then use the product key with the Express Upgrade Assistant.

Because retail licenses are rare and difficult to obtain, your only option may be Windows 7 Professional OEM licenses, which cannot perform one installs clean.
You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.
There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available - upgrade to Win7 Ultimate
I want to switch to Win7 Ultimate Win7 professional so I can use BitLocker and be able to share a drive locked with my computers Win8.1. Unfortunately, the normal method of the upgrade through Windows Anytime Upgrade is no longer available. There is a link to Windows online, but that only allows upgrade to Win8. I already Win8 on another computer, but this OS is not appropriate for this computer. Is this yet another example of Microsoft without end of quest for boring and confusing users? I heard something about an upgrade key which must be purchased, but my search for the Microsoft Web site for such a key failed. Anyone know how I can switch to Win7 Ultimate? Thank you.
Success!
I went online with the upgraded level Express and properly classified and put a laptop Windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Ultimate.

Windows 7 shares are no longer available for XP clients
I work with a client non-profit which owns 5 computers customers, 3 2 WIndows 7 and Windows XP. They are all trying to access a new workstation Windows 7 Pro. All users can access shares without problem for a little while. Windows 7 clients do not see these questions at all so far. However, Windows XP clients remove connection sharing at least daily. A restart of the computer solves the problem temporarily. The problem comes at least every day. I tried to change the size of IRP stack by article 285089 without success. I also put the XP clients do NOT use Simple file sharing. On the Windows 7 machine, I add the LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy key in the registry (value 1). Changes have had no effect. Each customer has their own connection with password to action. The error message on the client is: an error occurred when connecting F: to \\share\sharename. Microsoft WIndows Network: The specified server cannot perform the requested operation. This connection has not been restored. "Other attempts give"share name is not accessible. Not enough server storage is available to process this command. "All the machines have been updated. This problem seems to get worse with time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As indicated in the question, I bought an anytime upgrade in store today. I use a 32-bit version of Vista. The pack did not come with a cisd, but that a cd key with instructions to enter the Windows Anytime Upgrade, and then select enter an upgrade key. This option is not there. The only option that IS there is 'compare the editions of Windows Vista.
My question. What now? I got back and beg you to take this if I buy a new kit of Windows 7 at home, or what I ultimately throw it and waste $130 and buy another back pack?
Hello
1. from which store did you purchase Anytime Upgrade?
