Extending the Vista Activation Grace Period to 120 Days

DailyTech has posted an interesting article about extending the Vista activation grace period to 120 days without any cracks. This allows somebody to potentially run any Windows Vista edition without a product key for 120 days. "Unlike other methods that freeze the activation countdown timer, extending the trial to 120 days requires no hacking, cracking or illegal third party files. All one needs to do is log into Windows Vista with administrator rights, launch the command prompt and type in: slmgr –rearm. After a restart, the countdown timer will have reset to “43200 minute(s) (30 day(s).” Windows Vista will allow you to perform this operation a maximum of three times."
