Answer» You MAY re-arm your system three times by completing the following steps: In order to run slmgr /rearm, OPEN regedit.exe and NAVIGATE to HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrent VersionSL. Verify that VALUE "skip rearm" is set to ‘0'. If this value is non-zero, the re-arm function will not reset the system activation timers. After verifying that the "skip rearm" registry value equals zero (0), run slmgr /rearm from an elevated command prompt. Wait for the notice that the process has completed. This can take a minute or two. Once complete, follow the prompt to shutdown the computer. Upon restart, the computer will be running in OOB Grace and will have another 30 DAYS in which to activate. No other changes will be made to the system by this process.
