Wanted to share this in case someone wanted confirmation in SPCR.
Clean install on a blank HDD is possible from the W7 3-license family pack.
That being said, the 64bit installer did not play nice with my Asus AliveNF7G MB, and just wouldn't format. I had to hook up the HDD to a working computer and format the OS partition there.
Plug it back into the intended MB, and W7 installed w/o any problems.
As far as the product key is concerned, it will NOT work in the install process itself. Uncheck the automatic verification tickbox.
After W7 is installed (w/o the product key), do the regedit change, reboot, then put in the product key. You're done.
