Extend Windows Vista and 7 Trial Period from 30 Days to 120 Days

As we all know Windows Vista and 7 can be used for 30 days trial period without activating or entering Product key.

But do you know that there is a trick to extend this 30 days trial period to 120 days?.

To extend Windows Vista and 7 trial period follow these simple steps:

1. Click on “Start button -> All Programs -> Accessories“. Right-click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run As Administrator“. If you are prompted to enter password, enter the password and continue. You can also open Command Prompt in Administrator mode by typing “cmd” in Startmenu Search box and press “Ctrl+Shift+Enter“.

2. Now provide following command:

slmgr -rearm

3. You'll be prompted to restart Windows, restart it and the trial period will be reset to 30 days again.

NOTE: So if you want to enjoy exact 120 days, then give above mentioned command on the 30th day when your trial period is going to end. The command works only 3 times, that's why its limited to only 120 days. You can check the Trial period by going to System Properties.
