    Windows 7 RTM rearm quirk


    I wanted to test the rearm option to extend my Windows 7 RTM trial period.

    I found all kinds of tutorials but the easiest one I found was

     Open CMD with Admin rights
     Go to C:\Windows\System32
     Type slmgr.vbs –rearm
    Restart after prompt of sucess

     This didn’t work and it complained about the parameter after slmgr.vbs

     So the solution was
    slmgr.vbs /rearm
    to check after rebooting
    slmgr.vbs /dlv

    Did MS changed that?

    Why do I need to do that though if just typing "slmgr.vbs /rearm" did the trick.

    I'm just pointing out that -rearm didn't work but /rearm worked with RTM.
