    Pretty easily, check created date of any (or all) system files, check website for todays date, subtract and if > 120, go into lockdown :p

    However, with that said, they won't ever know that it was due to this tool, it might just be that you haven't started your PC for 120 days ;)

    Yes the rearm clock ticks to 30 days even if you have not used your computer for 30 days. The date of last rearm is stored in the WPA registry key, from which the time remaining for initial grace period is calculated. If you switch on your system after 30 days, it will give you an extended hour to rearm your system or enter a valid key. After that the system will go into notification mode, i.e, it will show the non-genuine watermark on the desktop and display a popup every two hours to activate your windows.

    Having set the rearm task properties to run as soon as possible when scheduled start is missed we won't experience that though right?

    Tip: If you go into notification mode, run reset.bat in WinPE and reboot.

    Can someone please help, I've created the batch file, and saved it to the root folder of the C drive (I ran notepad in admin). When I go to Repair your computer and then enter the login stuff, and then go to command prompt, the batch file is not there! When I let windows load up normally and use command prompt from there, I can see the file, but when I am in Repair your computer and using that command prompt, delwpa.bat, is not there. Can someone tell me what to do so that it shows up? Or is there another way to do this?

    Sorry for being late to the party, but have been following this method very closely. Is the GUI final. If it is, great for novices like me. One can use MS's own methods to run win 7 forever!!!

    Fully functional and working as of v1.6 ;)

    Eventually I will add enabling the "Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed" automatically, but for now it's a manual step!

    WTF! You don't like my 2 minute Google + 72sec Photoshop design!!! ;) j/k I ain't no artist :p
