Use Windows Vista without activation

As you know, all versions of Windows Vista can be installed and tested without the correct product key.

As I said in our previous news we have written, in which case the operating system will only be usable for thirty days with certain restrictions. We get a one-month grace period for activation, after which Windows becomes virtually unusable.

Yes, but there is a "loophole" in Vista that allows this limitation to be circumvented completely legally, so the activation can be postponed for up to a year. can also be used as a full-fledged operating system.

So do we described "slmgr -rearm" can only be used three times, so the period without activation can be a maximum of 120 days. Windows Secrets, on the other hand, has published a solution that can extend these four months by up to 8 more months.

All you have to do is change the value of the SkipRearm entry in the registration database from 0 to 1 in the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ WindowsNT \ CurrentVersion \ SL. Of course, restarting the system is essential for the new settings to take effect.

It is worth mentioning that in the latest release of Vista, the above methods may not work, as Microsoft has removed this option from the operating system, so the user is definitely forced to use the version for which they paid.
