About Windows 7 RTM

I would just like to ask since i'm new to MSDN AA. I downloaded win 7 Pro x64 from MSDN AA. is this a full license like a full copy someone else bought through retail? Or does it have a limit like when i graduate from school, it will shut down or after a specific number of months or years, i can no longer use it?

I believe it shuts down in June 2010, as far as I know.

It's just like a retail copy AFAIK.

That's the release candidate.

The RTM avalable on MSDN is the final build, and will not time out.

You need to be an MSDN subscriber.

Correct, RTM is the same as retail. The only difference for you is that your license is instead provided through MSDNAA (membership for which you must meet certain requirements and agree to certain terms.)

The keys from the MSDN AA give you a full valid product key for Windows 7. However, many of the keys keys from AA cannot be reused, even iif its the same machine. Your IT coordinator at school would have to reapprove the key for a second use/installation. This doesnt apply to every product though, and im not sure if its being done on Windows 7.
