It is a well-known fact, that it is possible to extend the initial grace period for activating your (hopefully legitimate!) copy of Windows from 30 days to 120 days by using slmgr
. This is a tool that is intended to allow the preparation of image-based installers for enterprise use by allowing to reset the initial grace period up to 3 times.
If you tend to forget the number of times you already reset the counter, you can easily check for yourself: simply run
slmgr -dlv
to get detailed licensing information, including the number of remaining re-arms and remaining grace time.
If you want to know when exactly your grace period runs out, use
slmgr -xpr
Note: This simply gives you more time, it won’t prevent you from having to buy and/or activate Windows. Re-arming is not a bug, it works as intended and is an important tool for use in corporate environments.
