Install Windows 7 ultimate for later activation with MAK, with only "pro" media?
Hi all,
I need to install Windows 7 ultimate for a user who works for a large company with it's own IT department. They have a MAK for this and wish to have me install the OS so that they can activate it later with their MAK. The trouble is, I only have access to VLK media for Windows 7 Professional. Is there any way I can achieve this installation for them? Or failing that, given that they've a MAK for "ultimate", does that mean they automatically also have a MAK for "pro"? (I'm sure this user would be just as happy with "pro").
Thanks in advance.

You can run "slmgr -rearm" from an elevated command prompt, which will provide full functionality and buy you some time until that user has the MAK applied.

@motnahp00 Buying time isn't the problem. I don't have VLK media for "ultimate", only for "pro". I need to install "ulitmate" for them. Or, I need to know if the fact that they have an "ultimate" MAK, means that they also have a "pro" MAK (I notice that when I've purchased "pro" MAKs in the past, I also get MAKs for pro versions of Vista an XP).

willcomp's advice didn't work in this instance, however it's a neat trick that I didn't know about.
