IR5 - The Official Windows 7 Rearm Solution

IR4 works on both timesurfer's and my real machine (both x86) without any problems.

Maybe it has got something to do with Acronis. I personally haven't used the software so I can not say what changes it makes to the system recovery options.

 

At the command prompt, "C:IR4" with quotes also works

 

I love having my Windows 7 without any worries!

 

Damn staright it's fool-proof... if someone can't follow the simple instructions and make it work then he/she shouldn't be operating a computer to start with... or should buy the damn license. You and MD spent quite some time making it as simple as possible.

 

@ Super_User

Try out the latest RC. A few changes have been made to the GUI.

 

Testing right now.

 

Count me in as a tester for IR4 3RC
I will install Ultimate 64 bit tonight/tomorrow (weekend) and use this. Will get back with my comments. Hope they are relevant (if enough testers have not already posted their comments). A person who is visiting this forum and active here will find no problem in spending a few minutes every now and then to keep win 7 forever without hacking it. Definitely a great solution. Sorry, I did not try it so far (lazy maybe but conservative definitely) but will do soon.

 

Works flawlessly. I can't test it on x64 right now but on x86 it works without any problems... I believe MD already tested it on x64?

I like what you did with the final message... compact, clean and informative. As far as I'm concerned it can go to final.

 

Recently installed Enterprise with a key supplied by another great member so could be a while before I help you with it. I can understanf English and your instructions but is this understanding of mine correct:
1. will work on desktop dos pc (format c:, system reserved, and do a clean install of OS)
2. click install IR4, restart....type c:..., restart
3. Now say I am successful at os install, and rearm, and now get 30 days.
4. Can I do manual rearms even before 30 days (say day 25). That is when I remember it (between 25-29 days).

 

150 days is good enough. In that time, I do 3-4 clean installs anyway. So, final question:
1. install Ultimate 64 bit
2. use IR4, rearm manually between 25-30 days
3. when time comes for a reinstall, repeat 2 again.

Definitely time for a trial and the (forthcoming) weekend seems to the best time.

 

I use PAYMYRENT anyway, but what I have done successfully with different win 7 versions is this:
1. backup a system image (say enterprise) using win 7 inbuilt process.
2. clean install a diff. version (say ultimate or professional) by formating c: and sys. res.
3. backup this image.
4. switch between diff. versions (takes 10-14 mins for the whole process from restarting with sys. repair disc to getting the restored image).
5. IR4 will be very useful for me (a) for Ultimate and/or (b) if key for enterprise/pro stops working and I want to use ultimate.

Final point: I have a genuine enterprise, and this utility will make Ultimate also genuine for me (without using the Daz which has worked 100% of the time for me). Ultimate is much easier (no disabling of games, and no need to turn it on for enterprise).

I will do this over the weekend or next 3 days and report back:
1. back up existing genuine enterprise.
2. install ultimate and check IR4 3. Report. (Fri night/sat morn)
3. back up ultimate.
4. install enterprise again and check IR4 3. Report. (Sat/Sun)

I may do 4 before 2. Pls. note that the above are India times which is +4:30 hrs GMT (close to 12 Noon right now).
