Extend Vista/seven Activation For 1 year(360 days)

After installation windows vista/seven will provide users to use the copy without activation for approximately 30 days and after that you should activate the copy inorder to use it further. Here in this post i am going to explain about a simple command line and registry tweak that will enable users to use the copy without activation for around 360 days or 1year.All you have to do is

1. Start Command Prompt. (Press Winkey+R to start Run, type cmd in it and hit enter).

2. Enter the command slmgr –rearm and hit enter.

3. You will be prompted to restart Windows. After restarting, the trial period will be extended for 30 more days






4. You can use this trick after 30 days and approximately 3 times that will provide you 120 days without activation.

After 120 days Do this For Vista:

1. Open the registry editor in Vista.(Press Winkey+R to start Run, and then type regedit in it and hit enter).

2. Go to the following directory using the left pane,



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionSL





Do This For Windows 7

1. Open the registry editor in Seven.(Press Winkey+R to start Run, and then type regedit in it and hit enter).

2. Go to the following directory using the left pane,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionSoftwareProtectionPlatform





3. Now in the right pane, you will find a DWORD entry named, SkipRearm. Right click on it and press “Modify”. Change the “Value Data” to 1.

4. Restart your computer to apply the changes. That’s all. Now you can perform the previously mentioned(slmgr -rearm) trick 8 more times.

NOTE: The total allowed count for rearm is 330 days or 11 times combined with the default 30 days will make total 360 days for using vista/seven without activation.
