After I left operating system Seven, users had the opportunity to try it, especially since they had already been given 3 whole months to do this. By the way, this period can be increased to a year. At the same time, you will not have to use hacking systems and other unscrupulous methods of work.

You will need

• Software License Manager software.

Instructions

This program, what is most interesting, is included in the standard set of programs Windows systems Seven. Either the developers simply missed this point, or deliberately gave users the opportunity to extend version OS, but a fact is a fact. You can start the program by entering slmgr.exe in the command line. If you assign the –rearm key, the period of use of the OS will be extended.

The free trial version of Kaspersky anti-virus is no less functional and effective than the paid licensed version. It is not surprising that many users, after the 30-day validity of the free version, are wondering about the possibility of extending its use. This, of course, cannot be called the right decision from the point of view of licensing rights, but it has its place. Therefore, we will still tell you how you can extend the trial version of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for free.

Extend free version Kaspersky can be done in other ways. For example, using special utility Kastrial, designed specifically to reset the free trial period of this antivirus program. For a demonstration of how to use Kastrial to extend your trial version of Kaspersky antivirus, watch the video below.

Windows 7 sales began in the fall of 2009, despite widespread advertising campaign, was not marked by rush demand. Fearing that they would buy another bug like Vista, users were in no hurry to switch to new product. Microsoft foresaw this scenario and decided to “seduce” potential buyers by giving them the opportunity to use the “Seven” for free for some time. The test period of one of the editions was extended from 30 to 90 days (we are talking about Windows 7 Enterprise), but three months is not that much. Having managed to get used to and “get used to” the new product, you would have to either buy it or hack it in order to continue using it. However, there is one way to legally extend your 90-day license to a year.

We extend the Windows 7 Enterprise license to 360 days

According to the terms of the agreement, in order to use the system for 3 months, the user must register it within the first 10 days after installation. If you do not do this, Windows 7 will turn off hourly and remind you that it is time to pay the copyright holder, otherwise you are a pirate. The same thing happens after 90 days.

But how does Windows 7 Enterprise determine how long it has left to run before the license period expires? Responsible for this system utility slmgr.exe (Software License Manager). It not only counts the days, but can also control the counter. This is the function we need. In short, if you run slmgr.exe with the -rearm switch, the counter will be reset to zero.

The operation is performed as follows:

• open system properties (by right-clicking on the “Computer” shortcut, selecting “Properties”, or by launching the “System” control panel applet);

• At the bottom of this window you can read how much time is left until the license expires - in our example it is 27 days;

• run command console(cmd.exe) from administrator;

• enter the command “slmgr.exe -rearm” into it (without quotes);
• press Enter.

After the message about the success of the operation, restart the computer and look at the system properties again.

This time, at the bottom of the window there will be a message that the activation has not yet been completed and you have 10 days to complete it. Let's not waste time - let's do it now. And now, our license is again valid for 90 days.

That is, using Windows 7 Enterprise 3 free months, you can renew your license for the same amount. In total, this operation can be repeated 3 times, which gives a total of 360 days. Almost a whole year of freebies. This is how enterprise licensing works. Windows edition 7. Convenient, isn't it?

We showed how the method works when we had 27 days left in the license period. But we advise you to wait until the counter reaches 0, otherwise this period will end faster for you. After all, the counter is completely reset to zero and the remaining days simply “burn out.”

Limitations of the method

Are your eyes burning and your hands itching? Let me cool your ardor a little. For free things you also have to pay something. The fact is that Microsoft closed the “attraction of unheard-of generosity” some time ago, and the method stopped working. Now you can renew your license in this way only in the following cases:

• you installed on your computer Windows version Enterprise Build 7600 - it is no longer on the official Microsoft website, but can still be found here and there on the Internet;
• As long as it remains possible to renew the license in the manner described above, that is, you have not “used up” 360 days, the system should not be updated.

Why can't I install updates? Because with their help this “shop” is closed. Therefore, your Windows will be at risk for almost a whole year virus attacks and other surprises that promise unpatched vulnerabilities. Are you satisfied? Then go ahead. And if not, after the end of the trial period there are two ways: buy a key and officially extend the license to an indefinite one, or use pirated activation. What is best for you is up to you to decide.

HOW TO EXTEND YOUR TRIAL PROGRAM

As you know, trial programs are designed so that users can evaluate the quality of their work before shelling out money for them. The validity period of trial programs is determined by the developer, and it can vary widely, from one day to several months. Typically, trial programs are no different from their paid counterparts, except that after the trial period they stop working, and when you try to launch them, a window similar to Fig. 1 appears on the computer screen, with an impudent demand to purchase a license key.

I will not describe those “dastardly tricks” that program developers resort to, especially since each of them has their own methods of squeezing money out of ordinary users computers. I can only say that in response to the “machinations” of developers, PC users resort to various methods, just not to pay money for the goods that are offered to them. Usually, they use “broken” programs, and, if they are lucky, they use key generators or keys for these programs obtained from the vast expanses of the Internet. Personally, I don't really like the method of using unlicensed software. Firstly, it is illegal, and secondly, all kinds of viruses are often distributed along with these programs. And finally, there are many ways to legally reuse trial software. And you can use these programs until you get rich and can buy what you need licensed program, for your honestly earned money.

In my series of articles, How to Get a Second Trial of a Program You Like, the first of which you will find here, I already described some tricks for reusing trial programs. And they were mainly based on cleaning the registry from traces of trial programs and then reinstalling them. But, unfortunately, sometimes the “vile fantasies” of software developers know no bounds, and in the fight against respectable lovers of “freebies” they resort to various tricks, just to prevent the opportunity to use their products for free. Therefore, sometimes it is not possible to completely clear the registry of traces of a previously installed trial program. More precisely, to find all the traces you have to work hard. And, in addition, sometimes deleting traces of programs from the registry leads to undesirable results. There are times when the same registry keys or settings are used different programs and their removal may lead to undesirable effects, such as failure (or incorrect operation) other programs. Therefore, in previous articles regarding editing the registry, I always reminded you of the need to create backup copy registry or PC restore point before you start cleaning the registry.

So what should you do if you cannot completely get rid of traces of a program and, accordingly, reinstall the trial version of this program? But at the same time, I really want to take advantage of the capabilities of this program one more time (and maybe more). I propose to consider this case using the example of the program “ Revo Uninstaller", which was discussed in the article "".

As I said above, after it expires trial period of this program, which, by the way, is 30 days, when you try to start it again you will see the window Fig. 1. Approximately similar windows are displayed by other programs whose test period has expired. Of course, you can uninstall this program, install it free option or use any other program of the same focus. But if you like this program and want to use it, leave everything as it is and do not try to delete it or look for keys to it. To extend the validity period of a trial program, simply set your computer to the date when the program was working properly. To do this, right-click on the date and time button, which is usually located in the lower right corner of your PC screen in the taskbar notification area (see 1 Fig. 2). You will see a context menu Fig.3.

In the appeared context menu we are interested in the item “Setting the date and time” (see 2 Fig. 3). After you select this item, you will see the window Fig.4.

In the new window, on the “Date and Time” tab (see 1 Fig. 4), click on the “Change date and time...” button (see 2 Fig. 4).

In the “Date and Time Settings” window (Fig. 5), use the “Left-Right” buttons (see 1 Fig. 5) to select the year and month you need, and use the “Date” button (see 2 Fig. 5 ) set the required date. After this, click the “OK” button (see 3 Fig. 5) to save the required date. Now if you run the Revo Uninstaller program, it will work fine.

This method allows you to revive many programs. But use it for antivirus programs it is impossible, because An error will occur when updating the antivirus database. Therefore, after you use the capabilities of the program for which you changed the date on your PC, do not forget to synchronize the date and time of your computer with the Internet. To do this, in the Fig. 4 window, select the “Internet Time” tab (see 3 Fig. 4).

After this, the window Fig.6 will open. In this window, click on the “Change parameters” button (see 1 Fig. 6).

In the new window of Fig. 7, you should check for the presence of a checkmark to the right of “Synchronize with an Internet time server” (see 1 Fig. 7). You can select the synchronization source by clicking on the arrow to the right of “Server” (see 2 Fig. 7). To synchronize the time, click on the “Update now” button (see 3 Fig. 7). Well, in order for the changes to take effect, click the “OK” button (see 4 Fig. 7). Everything is now installed on your PC again correct date and time. But, the truth is that your program does not work again. To make sure of this, try running it, and you will again get the window Fig. 1. And when the need for the trial program arises again, change the date on your PC again.

The described method for extending the validity period of a trial program is good for programs that you use periodically. And, besides, these programs should not be on the list of those that are automatically loaded when the computer starts. How to check the latter is written in the article “”. But then this method does not require special PC knowledge and the use of dubious unlicensed software options. And, in addition, it is trouble-free for many programs. Lastly, if you don't remember the end date of your trial program, set the time on your computer much earlier than it was set. trial program, at least a year before. Everything should work fine.
