How
to Use Windows 7 Without Activation
Most of you might be aware of the fact that it is possible
to use Windows 7 and Vista for 120 days without activation. This is actually
possible using the slmgr -rearm command which will extend the
grace period from 30 days to 120 days.
However
in this post I will show you a small trick using which it is possible to use
Windows 7 without activation for approximately an year! Here is a way to do
that.
Step-1. Goto “Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories“.
Right
click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run as Administrator“. If
you are not the administrator then you are prompted to enter the password, or
else you can proceed to step-2.
Step-2. Now type the following command and hit enter
slmgr -rearm
Step-3. You will be prompted to restart the computer. Once
restarted the trial period will be once again reset to 30 days. You can use the
above command for up to 3 times by which you can extend the trial period to 120
days without activation.
Step-4. Now comes the actual trick by which you can extend the
trial period for another 240 days. Open Registry Editor (type regedit
in “Run” and hit Enter) and navigate to the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
Step-5. In right-side pane, change value of SkipRearm to 1.
Step-6. Now you will be able to use the slmgr -rearm
command for another 8 times so that you can skip activation process for another
240 days. So you will get 120 + 240 = 360 days of free Windows 7 usage.
120 days using “slmgr -rearm”
command before registry edit
+
240 days using “slmgr -rearm”
command after registry edit
=
360 Days
