Hack 7 (6801/7000) – Make Windows 7 Trial Last 120 Days

Microsoft was nice enough to allow users to extend the 30 day trial period 3 times, which means that you will be able to use the Operating System for 120 days, assuming you follow the instructions below.
Note: In order for you to achieve the 120 days you must wait until day 29 or 1 day before trial expiration in order to take advantage of the loophole
Before proceeding make sure you backup your registry
1. Click on the Start Menu and type “regedit” into the search box, click to open the regedit.exe icon when the program appears in the search results.
2. Locate the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrentVersionSoftwareProtectionPlatform
3. Right-click to open SkipRearm located on the right pane.
4. IF SkipRearm is NOT set to 0 modify it to 0 and click OK to save.
5. IF SkipRearm is set 0 then,
6. Click on the Start Menu and type “cmd” into the search box, right-click on cmd.exe when the program appears in the search results, select Run as Administrator from the drop-down.
7. Type the following command slmgr -rearm and press Enter
8. Click OK when prompted
You can only perform this work around 3 times, after which you will receive an error and you will have to activate Windows to use it.
