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. 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. 2. Now type the following command and hit enter slmgr -rearm 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. 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 5. In right-side pane, change value of SkipRearm to 1. 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 Most of you might be aware of the fact that it is possible to use Windows 7 and Vista for 120 days without activation.
