Not sure if this belongs here because its not technically a 'programming' question, but i'm writing a small application that displays windows activation information by parsing the output of the slmgr.vbs script.
Now in my current system (which is activated), when I run the slmgr.vbs -dlv
command it says Remaining Windows rearm count: 3
Makes sense, since from what I've read you can use the -rearm command a total of 3 times. And I haven't run it on my computer ever.
But when I run slmgr.vbs -dlv
on my virtual machine with Windows 7 Trial, and on my other computer I installed a Windows 7 trail on to test things, the output says Remaining Windows rearm count: 4
Can someone explain why it says I can use the -rearm command 4 times?
With Trial Windows 7 the rearm count is set to 4 and once the trail converts to full version the same rearm count is set to 3 default. Or when you install full version of Windows the rearm count is set 3 by default.
