How do you disable 3 day auto activation?

Does anyone know how to disable to 3 day automatic activation on Win7? I checked the registry where I disable it on Server 08 but that section seems to be missing from Windows 7.

Even after using the 30 day reset command that MS provides it still has the 3 day activation enabled.

HOW TO: Enable and disable Auto-activation feature in Windows Vista

This is for Vista, but according to another site, it also works on 7. I haven't tried it myself.

That worked for Server 08, but in Windows 7 "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SL\Activation" is not present in the registry.
