After the release of the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system, it became possible to try it out. Moreover, this period was much longer than its predecessors - as much as 3 months. But as practice shows, this figure can be increased to one year without using hacking systems and other unfair working methods.
Necessary
- - Windows Seven operating system;
- - Software License Manager software.
Instructions
Step 1
It would seem that the development company itself is not profitable, but apparently, this is a secret that they forgot to remove or so the developers themselves need it. The so-called "Easter egg" is hidden in the Software License Manager, which is included in the standard system software package (slmgr.exe). When you run this command with the “–rearm” key, you can extend the operating system's life, but then you need to purchase it.
Step 2
How does this program work? The counter of days of free use of the system, it turns out, can be reset three times. After you reset your usage data, you get an additional 120 days of free use.
Step 3
To view the days remaining until the end of the period of using the system, you need to go to the desktop and look at the information in the lower right corner. Also, this figure can be found from the properties of the "Computer". Click the "Start" menu, right-click on the "Computer" icon, in the menu that opens, select "Properties". The system properties window will appear in front of you - go to the very bottom line of this window, and you will see the number of days of the trial period.
Step 4
Open the command line of the Windows operating system: click the "Start" menu, type cmd in the search bar, right-click on the cmd application icon and select "Run as administrator".
Step 5
In the opened black window of the "Command Line" program, enter the command "slmgr –rearm" without quotes and press the Enter key. In response to your command, a dialog box appears with the message “The command completed successfully. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect."
Step 6
After rebooting the system, launch the System Properties applet as you did up to this point. Pay attention to the inscription: the trial period remains the same, but there is a link to activate the operating system via the Internet. After activating the trial period, you will have another 90 days of free access to the operating system.
Step 7
Thus, you can test the Windows 7 operating system and make a choice in favor of it by purchasing the full paid version.
