    Technet and MSDN have different rules. I have not heard that this applies to MSDN. BTW, I haven't even heard that it's enforced on Technet: note the language used ("may not").

    Found this on TPB:

    ReArm for 30days.

    1. regedit HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionSoftwareProtectionPlatform and change the value for SkipRearm to 1
    2. run "slmgr -rearm" (note! this will also reset the above mentined value to zero again)
    3. Now the 30 day activating time is reset to 0 once more (You can only do this reset 7 times)

    30 x 7 = 210

    So we get 210 days worth of trial, I guess it's better than nothing. But aren't there some features that don't work with trial mode?

    This is nothing new and was the same for Win7 and people have tried everything to figure this out with apparently no luck. I am not saying you will not be able to figure this out, but I suggest you connect with those who already tried first. The token file on my system is tied to my system and I'd like to keep it that way -sorry.

    A 90 day trial of windows 8 is now available for download. Check at windows8update.com/download-free-windows-8-evaluation-copy-for-90-days

    Hope this gives some time to evaluate Windows 8!

    You believe people could live at ease under the "may be" shadow? :naughty:

    The trial key is bundled with MS A/C and will be validated on-line, guess this trick might not work like Vista/Win7. :p

    btw, people installed the trial Ent. found there are 5 re-arms, if each rearm gives 30 days(not the registry tweak), then the total trial days would be 90+5*30=240 days.

    Please check this method of announcing a working server:
    View attachment 17846
    If not, please delete this post if not allowed.
    Thank you

    edit: It seems, it is accepted. So I strongly recommend NOT to repeat the address by typing it again and again because my method would be obsolete then. As a picture cannot be scanned on the Internet, the message stays at MDL.
    So simply refer to my post e.g. when you feel like repeating the server is open and works
