Avoid activating Windows Vista & 7 for almost a Whole Year
4:23 AM |
Usually when Windows is not activated, you can still use it for 30days. What to do after those 30days if you are still not satisfied whether to activate it or not. Not to worry, because that 30days period can re-arrive. How to do that is described below.
A small command “slmgr –rearm” does the work.
The command is to be entered in Command Prompt, opened with administrator privileges. For that, open Start Menu and type into Search “cmd”, now you’ll see the searches above. Right Click on cmd and open it as an administrator.
Now, once opened, just type in slmgr –rearm and press enter.
Now wait for 3 to 5 seconds. A notification will occur for the completion of the command. Now restart your pc and the 30days will be reset.
This command can be used 3 times, which gives you additional 3months. In all now you have approx. 4months without activation.
HOW TO EXTEND IT FOR FURTHER 8 MONTHS:
Open registry editor and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ SL
In right-side pane, change value of SkipRearm to 1.
*If you can’t find SL under CurrentVersion, TRY
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ SoftwareProtectionPlatform
In right-side pane, change value of SkipRearm to 1.
Restart your PC for changes to take effect.
Now you can use the slmgr -rearm command 8 more times. So you'll get 8 more months for using Vista and 7 without activation.
*I haven’t personally tested whether it is 8months or less or more, just heard about it, but it is assured that it works. ;)
That’s almost a whole year. Saying “almost” because few months have 31days :D
Have Fun J
