Ok so i downloaded the iso files for windows 7 ultimate edition 64 bit without a product key. I just choose the don't have product key option and didn't think much of it. It is now giving me a timer of 3 days to activate a product key. I was looking on ebay for cheat keys and i'm finding activation keys http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microsoft-Windows-7-Ultimate-32-64-bit-Genuine-Product-Key-/272616218084?hash=item3f79315de4:g:cwgAAOSw3utY6maA) I want to buy the activation key because it just emails me the code instead of me waiting 3 days to get the product key in the mail. I just want to make sure i can enter in the Activation key in the product key automatic activation.

You could try that but beware of scammers. They may take your money and send you a BS key. You can buy a key from Microsoft online or from Kingwin for about 30 bucks: https://www.kinguin.net/category/13922/windows-7-ultimate-oem-key/

And yes, activation key and product key are the same thing.
