Learned to how to obtain more detailed information about Windows 7 activation. There's a tool built into Windows 7 called Software Licensing Manager. Running it in a Windows 7 command prompt with admin rights will yield information like:
- Activation ID
- Installation ID
- Partial Product Key
- License status
- Remaining Windows rearm count
This last piece of information is important to Windows 7 imaging. I've found that if this rearm count gets to zero (start with 3 on a fresh install), then Windows will no longer boot properly.
The command to use at the command prompt to retrieve this information is slmgr /dlv. There are other parameters that can be applied, but /dlv is the most detailed. After running the command, a Windows Script Host window will be displayed with the information.
Hope this helps you. Happy Computing.
