    We know how to do it in vista and windows 7, is there any way to get the rearm thing in xp. I tried the slmgr.vbs –rearm in x and does not work.

    Can you do this in xp?

    There is actually a way to reset the activation period in XP, up to 4 times (120 days). It's not documented very well, no doubt Microsoft don't want it known too much...

    Code:
    rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk
    You're welcome!

    Edit: You can check if it worked by looking In Event Viewer under Application tab, should say you have 30 days to activate.

    Is it possible to rearm windows after the trial period has gone out?

    You can rearm
    rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnk

    but some times you may get message that all rearms are spend.
