just a thought the phone activation id 015551 on the org 7989. confirms that it is gen. yes! so when you phone ms you give the correct id. now when i installed stanniemans i notice the id had changed to. 012956 the same with Torko,s that started 012956 is this id telling ms that it,s not the org. just a thought !
+1 Hoodie, I think we need to install original HP 7989 first, activate it, save those spp folders, then reinstall stanieman's 7989, and replace with the activated spp folders, then the 7989 should be activated.
You need a legal Windows 7 Ultimate key to activate 7989, pretty obvious that Microsoft blacklists keys that are shared.
