Alas, I am running the Home version. I did find in my research posts from sysadmins running the Enterprise version who seemed to have more luck permanently disabling it than I did.
if you wanna switch to the pro version, which should also be better in this regard, here's a handy link:

turns out the windows activation is extremely insecure and easy to fool ;)
i've read somewhere that the microsoft activation support, if you have strange issues with activating your product, at times referred you to that page lol

My undergrad university offers licensed Windows desktop OS to Alumni free of charge. This is how I'm legally using Windows Education version (which is the same as Enterprise). I got the sense it was part of a packaged software benefit program MS offers to educational institutions. You may want to see if yours does the same so you could get it free too.
