Jeet,

If you did every single step in the tutorial, then I'm not sure why it did not work for you unless MS has disabled this option in some update.

Re: Activation - Extend Trial Period

No, they did not deactivate the function.
If you used your "credits" before SP1, no more credits are available after having installed SP1 (logical).
If you did not use your credits, then installed SP1, you still have your 4 credits to run (logical too).
Tested by me on a new SP1 install 102 days ago, 14 days left before activation.
I wait, though i have a full retail ultimate license, just to test the new "reduced" mode and check if a registry trick can add 120 more days, but i won't publish the trick if it works

Those are not tricks, they are just illegal things!
Here we are only talking about a legal way to extend vista trial period!
Skiprearm has been included in Vista by its creators, so playing with it is legal.
The only way to activate Vista is to purchase a license, end of story.

Not really, you always can crack any progs including Vista.
You are allowed to play with the tools included in Vista but you are not allowed to modify them, that makes a big difference.
I told you the only legal thing regarding activation is by using a real license, skiprearm has nothing to do with activation as it is just a tool allowing some companies for example to have enough time to activate all their machines since the corporate auto-activate editions do not exist anymore, today even with a "corporate" license, you have to activate all machines.
The problem is that MAYBE by using an internal Vista tool the skiprearm function could work for ever, not really a bug as it is very well hidden, i just would say that the skiprearm function has been writen too quickly. We'll see, i'll let you informed here

Re: Activation - Extend Trial Period

Thanks Buddy For The Info. Btw I Have Genuine ver, But One of My Friend Using X Copy. I Not See Any Diffrence. He Can Also Update.

My Problem Is Here, I Buy It With 16000/- Rs. And He Get It For Free From Someone. But Microsoft Not Giving Any Advantage To Me. As He Have Many Advantage, Such As He Can Use That Copy In Many Computer Also Can Modify Any File.

When Upgrade His Computer He Not Need To Inform Microsoft. But For Us When We Upgrade, Having Trouble With Activation For Hardware ID.

So, There Is My Problem.
