My 30 days is almost up... extending?

[kayzee]

I read somewhere before about makin it last 90 days? Sorry can't find the article now, is this possible? Or will I need to be reformatting again?

Hello Kayzee,

You can use the same method from Vista.

Activation - Extend Trial Period - Vista Forums

UPDATE:
See this post as well for the new registry location in Windows 7 for this.

Read to rearm

 

[Kryptonit3]

"for rearming:

Use the installed Windows 7 6956 for almost 30 days. (assuming you haven't entered a product key during installation). When the days are almost 0 (I'd do that on 1 day left) open an elevated command prompt and type:

slmgr.vbs –rearm

Restart and you will have another 30 days grace for evaluation.
Repeat the above steps for everytime the days are coming to an end. You can do that for a maximum of 3 times. (120 days). Plus, this way is not a crack , you're allowed to do that. (how about owning a 6956 though? )

I tried it on mine (was 29 days left) and now it's 30 . Yeah, I know I wasted one of the three times, but I can reinstall anytime, it's beta...duh."

that was a quote, i take it back, i attempted the rearm, it was a no-go

first image is b4, second is after the command and a reboot, and yes i ran as admin

and no it doesnt take 7 minutes to reboot my PC

Atleast not for 6956, it works on 6801

Hello all.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SL

I just checked out the tutorial Brink listed above and "my" 6956 doesn't have the SL entry listed in the registry. What about the rest of you? Would this be why it won't work for you Kryptonit3?

You're welcome Ted.

 

[llhhll]

have fun with windows 7 built 6956 until 02-07-2009 ?

 

[darkassain]

welcome llhll to the forums
the vhd and iso have 180 day timebomb if i am correct...
even though you can only rearm it 3 more time you only have 120 days....
since its 30+ (3 rearms x 30 days)= 120
look here if you want more info

[johngalt]

But here is the problem - It is December now, and 180 days puts the bomb in *June* not July....

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Here we go again; have a look at this. It says January.

I saw that link already - like in 3 places. Doesn't mean a thing, though, because that is not 100% confirmed yet.

Even Softpedia (the *original* article ) did not link to anywhere that Sinofsky or anyone else said that they were time-bombed.

you can try it yourself in a vm by changing the clock to something after Jan.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Hello DA.

Now that's an idea for someone to try out.
