    Yeah it works for 7. The activation files are the same so no problems.

    That's some activator to by pass Windows 7 activation, not what the OP is asking for.

    was it preactivated on a new machine? if you manually activated it (from an upgrade or so, or a clean install before), i think there is no xrms file. i thought that's just for preactivated oem installations from manufacturers.

    but i could be wrong.
