Total noob question. whats the difference with Windows 7 Enterprise? is there anything to gain from using it? What is it? For business's or something special? I just wanted to know... just out of Curiosity's sake. hope someone could enlighten me .
Enterprise is meant for corporations and business use mainly, and it's really just a rebranded Ultimate version. The difference between Ultimate and Enterprise is the activation method:- Ultimate uses Retail and OEM keys. Enterprise only Volume License keys (KMS or MAK) which can only be activated through a KMS Server, or emulation of a KMS Server. Both editions use the same features.
So that's all it is then. well thank you for telling what it is I guess I need to study up KMS and MAK. and see if I can understand.But me taking a guess here through KMS activation. will it activate Window 7 Enterprise permanently?
Well before with XP and Server 2003 (both x86 and x64), you could download a copy, and use a leaked volume license key that was still valid and passed WGA, plus you didn't need to activate any of these versions. Because of this, MS had to bring in a new way to activate VL versions of Windows to stop people from getting free copies of Windows! (Not that it has stopped anyone from working around this.)
Wow you could use an Leaked Key and activate a XP or Server 2003 and pass WGA!? Wow I wish I would've known about that when I was using XP a long time ago. And yeah I know people found loop holes through Windows activation for awhile LOL. I wonder if you could if you could still use VL keys to activate XP now? Might look around for one of those keys and give it a try
Cool thanks!, I might give that try and see what I can find Oh yeah I know some of them can be blacklisted. The most I'll do is see how it works. Like on a VM or something. just for the fun of it .
