Win7 x64, authorisation and DR as a service

[tricky]

We have a couple of machines whose month-long licenses have just expired and I haven't got around to registering them with Microsoft. This will be happening at some point this week. These same machines have been exhibiting some annoying DR-related issues, and I'm wondering if having an unregistered license of Windows 7 could cause problems with vray distributed rendering when it is running as a service?

Typically, when a machine goes past the activation period, the machine becomes useless until you authorize it. So I can definitely see it causing issues with your farm.

Why not just take the few minutes to activate the machines and be done with it?

Will be doing this when I'm in the office
