Anyone ever try to use the Dreamspark licence to activate an Enterprise install? I have a copy of 7 Ultimate that I would really really like to use DirectAccess on. Really lame that they restrict to not only 7 Enterprise and Ultimate, but even from Server 08 R2 Standard.

Are the keys only usable once, or is it you can only have one copy activated with one key at a time? Yeah, you don't need to use a proxy I have found

Has anyone tried this recently? I just did, and Windows tells me my Dreamspark key won't work with the Enterprise Edition (from the Director's Cut).
Are there any pre-modded Standard Editions out there? I'm not sure I want to mod it all by myself...
