Happy birthday.

I'm not sure but either:
- you'll no longer get the updates.
or
- you'll be in breach of the terms and conditions.

In any case, this is not the forum for windows related questions.

Most demo software simply stops working after the introductory period is over. I would be surprised if Windows was different.

I'm pretty sure that after the 30 days are up, you get shutdowns every hour (same as with the Windows 7 Enterprise 90-day Trial)

I think you also have to reinstall once you get a software key.

If you tried it, and you liked it, pony up.

If you're a student, you can often get ridiculous (and perfectly legitimate!) discounts. Yup, that's one of the reasons why I take classes at the local community college, and also why in years past I taught courses at another one.
