also its vbs (visual basic script) not a exe file...

open your text editor and copy and paste the code

Code:

    <Author>Darkassain</Author>
    <Description>This creates a Task that upon 30 days Rearms Windows 7 so that the activation popup wont show up for the maximum of 3 times essentially giving you 120 days.</Description>

save it as a xml and import it into the task scheduler
if you dont know how then follow on how to import a task from a another tutorial that i made here...
Wireless Connection Workaround for Standby or Hibernation

once imported you might have to change running user account so that it matches your SID...

<Body>Windows has no rearmed itself should be <Body>Windows has noW rearmed itself

i have 25 days left to activate so now if i use Darkassain's method import that script into the task scheduler thats it or i have to change date or time something??

Becoz this will rearm automatic every 30 days and my activation period left 25 days (if i add task today)

Thanks in advance

Brink · 28 Jul 2009

Hello bmb,

Yep, it will run 5 days after you past the grace period for the first 30 days. I would wait until you manually run the rearm the first time when you get down to 1 or 2 days left, then add the task. This way you will be synced to have the task run every 30 days without the grace period expiring.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

hey admin and orbital,

the xml code and once imported it into the task scheduler

Thanks for the codes......who created.....it....

Brink · 29 Jul 2009

Hello Spiritwolf,

The code provided by Darkassain will still work in the RTM builds.
