Not working for me

Hello,

I appreciate alll the great work here which enables us to try Windows 7.

For me it's not working (Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit).

I followed instructions until the 'e:\reset' part, which succeeds.

I see: 'Operation completed succesfully', after which I clicked restart. Windows still works, does not show 'Initial Grace period blablabla'. It does after a while start complaining about Not Genuine and asks me to resolve it online. I ignored it and chose 'Rearm manually'. Nothing happens, only a message 'Your computer will shutdown within one minute'. After that the computer restarts en boots into windows. Nothing special, but after a while the same message about 'Your windows is not genuine, click here to resolve online'.

After this I decided to follow the instructions in the top post (with the slmgr stuff), but this doesn't work either. I start command prompt with Run as Adminstrator, but it keeps saying: ''slmgr' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.'

So now I am stuck.

What am I missing?

Thanks for any help.

UPDATE: I just found a file called 'slmgr.vbs.disabled'. I copied that one to 'slmgr.vbs' and now I am able to perform the manual slmgr steps. I just installed the default Product Key and 'slmgr /dli' shows me that I am in trial mode and have 30 days left. This probably means I am ok now.

 

Did you install IR 2.0 ?

 

just for clarification, after one installs this app. for the first time, what & when does one have to manually do something else?...i'm just confused about what exactly the "28 days" and "4 re-arms" means

(fyi, currently using BIOS mod just fine, just interested in this for future reference)

 

As in it rearms windows 4 times and then resets the rearm history back to 0 so that it can do it again and again....
BTW congrats and good work Timesurfer....
I'm not that intuned of what the manual stuff that needs to be done sounds like a great ? for timesufer to answer lol....

 

So by "repeat whole process", you mean manually run the app. again, right?....what happens after 150 days, do you get an "Expired" message that can be immedaitely fixed by running app. again?

 

OK, i think i got it....i really think you should put this in the first post and/or instructions - "This app. needs to be re-run manually every 150 days"

i think it's a great idea and will probably use it on one of my systems, but lots of people assume you run a hack/crack/patch/loader/etc. once, and you're done for good ;-)

 

my commments were not meant to criticize or insult your excellent work....i just thought some clarification would help others...like i said, many people "assume" a crack/patch/loader/workaround will work forever, and i thought it would be good to make it clear up front that this method would require future input

keeping it simple and clear is why you wanted a GUI in the first place, right? ;-)

 

Are you sure your Windows 7 is in D:? It may be in C: or E:. Do you have other OS installed too?

 

that would be awesome...so no one will be unexpectedly surprised to find their install "Expired" one day, if they happened to forget re-running IR4
