According to the same Windows 7 release schedule announcement, MSDN and TechNet paid subscribers will be able to download Windows 7 RTM in English on August 6th and remaining languages by October 1st. It’s expected that the active genuine product keys for Windows 7 RTM can also be generated from MSND and TechNet Subscriber Downloads by then to activate permanently Windows 7 system.
