Tips for extending the trial period of Win Vista RTM

For Windows Vista enthusiasts or users who plan to upgrade their systems after Windows Vista is released, the best option at this stage is to become familiar with the operation and usage of Windows Vista as soon as possible, and the application software that must be used. Be careful with Windows Vista for detailed testing, etc., to prepare for Windows Vista. The ideal object for testing is obviously not the Windows Vista RTM version. After all, the RTM version is arguably the final version compared to the previous beta or RC1, RC2. Windows Vista RTM version download (build 6000.16386.061101-2205) is currently available on the Internet.

Of course, we don't have the VLK (volume license key) required for RTM installation, but Windows Vista RTM can be installed without the product serial number. In this trial mode, Windows Vista provides all the features and features without activation, including updates using Windows Update, with a 30-day usage limit.

Note: To use the trial mode of Windows Vista RTM, be sure not to enter the product serial number during the installation process so that Windows Vista will install using the default serial number. If you enter the serial number during the installation process and it is detected illegal, Windows Vista will reduce the trial period to 3 days. If it is not activated, it will not be used.

However, the 30-day trial period may not be enough for many friends. For example, it is too late to complete all the tests. So, is there any way to extend this time or skip the activation process? The following describes the simple implementation.

Tips for Extending the Windows Vista RTM Trial Period

The easiest way to disconnect the PC from the Internet is to unplug the network cable.

Restart the system and enter the BIOS; Br>

Change the date in the BIOS to 2006/12/26, save the settings and exit;

In this way, you can “make up” the computer system that Windows Vista forced to count down before the activation, breaking the original 30-day limit.

"Activate" Windows Vista RTM Tips

Another strategy is to try to make Windows Vista mistakenly think it has been "activated".

5. Modify the "tokens.dat" file attribute in the same way;

8. Open the Service Manager (click Start => Run => Enter "services.msc"), Check if the "Software Licensing" service has been loaded If the file is loaded, stop the service;

In this way, Windows Vista RTM can "believe" that it has been activated, and of course there is no limit to the 30-day trial.
