IR5 - The Official Windows 7 Rearm Solution

I did not set those settings. It came by default. Builtin user accounts have different properties, these cannot be edited.

 

I think the above code is fine.

 

Great tool, but is there a minimal part which allows just to reset the rearm count back to default with NOTHING automated (no taks etc)

I am just asking...

I have MAC activated Enterprise, which has Rearm remaining : 1

(For no practical reason) I wonder if there is a way to reset this number to original 3

I just wiped my Windows 7 Standard Embedded partition (couldn't get secpol.msc and Office 2010 to work).

I will retrieve the Embedded default key when I reinstall (with more Windows options enabled so I can get everything -hopefullly working).

Will Magic Jellybean Keyfinder work to retrieve the key? Or can I somehow retrieve from my installation DVD?

 

The actual RTM time is 07/14/2009 02:26:40 AM. I would vote for leaving it alone.

 

When using a MAK key the rearm count is set to 1 and can be used only once. When you use IR4, it will install the default Retail key and give you 30 days + 4 rearms.

Get the source here and just add REM to the schtasks line, if you don't want to create the task.

 

The following batch script will change the Install Date of the OS.

Code:

@echo off
echo Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") >date.vbs
echo WshShell.RegWrite "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\InstallDate", DateDiff("s", "70/1", DateAdd("n", WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation\ActiveTimeBias"), "07/14/2009 02:26:40")), "REG_DWORD" >>date.vbs
cscript /b date.vbs
del date.vbs
systeminfo | Findstr /C:"Original Install Date:"
pause

Save the above code as change.bat and Run as Administrator.
Change the highlighted date to any date of your liking. If you want your original install date, look through the event log for your first login to the system.

 

To open Event Viewer, Press Start button then type event and press enter
Go to Windows Log -> System
Scroll to the end, look for the first date after 14 july

 

To be honest the date is the one thing you can't dodge.

If I were to design WAT theres 3 bits of info I would look at.

1) Install date - The date in which Windows 7 was said to be installed on the system
2) The oldest Windows update or installed application date
3) The current date - Which I would check via a timeserver

If the oldest Windows update or application installation date is before the install date then I would flag you as non-genuine with reason "system modification found". And then the other one would obviously be if the current date goes way beyond the install date or Windows update/installed application date then I would flag you for the same reason.
