Reactive WXP trail period to 120 days.

Sunday, February 20, 2011

After searching a bit on this topic (30 days trial) we found a Very useful Windows command, that MS do not tell us.
Reseting the Activation Trial:
------------------------------
In this example: Your activation period has expired, (past 30 days) and you need to get to Normal mode again.


1. Turn On your PC
2. Press F8 repeatedly and go to Safe Mode
3. Log in as per normal
(note: Administrator password is usually blank, or use the Password Recovery CD if the password is unknown)
4. Allow the Desktop to fully load (answering "Yes" to continue into Safe Mode)
(note: This is just a long way of saying go to Safe Mode)
5. Click on Start - Run
6. Type in exactly: rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk (and click OK)
(note: one space, after "rundll32.exe " also the Oo are two letter o's in "oobe"; capitals and comma are important)
7. Wait a couple of seconds (although you will Not see any change)
8. Restart your PC normally (Start - Shutdown - Restart - Ok)
9. You are now able to go to Normal Mode again (For another 30 days !!!)
10. Do whatever you like, you're back to Normal.
That is some kind of offical way to reset the Activation Trial.
Take Care it will work only work for about 4 times. (120 days in total !!!!!!)
Do not use on an already activated PC (as it may reset it )
This command line (Activation Reset) has been fully tested, and 100% working.
