    Hey guys....I was just curious about the volume activation expiration. In all the examples shown, it seems to still have some sort of 180 day timebomb....am I correct or not? If so is there a way to stop the 180 day expiration?

    It's the KMS activation...you never get activated for more then 180 days, then your computer has to connect to a KMS server again for activations (local or network KMS).
    If you want to activate this permanent you need a MAK key or a retail key. Any key found on the internet will probably bee blocked at one time, so for a permanent solution KMS activations is your best bet today, or go to the store and buy a license ;)
