Can Windows Vista be run indefinitely without activation?
Last month we told you how to extend your Windows Vista 30 day trial period for as long as 120 days. The process is 100% legal, and was put in Vista by Microsoft. All you have to do is enter a rearm command every 30 days or so. We thought you could only do this 3 times, but now sites are reporting that there's a registry hack that allows you to rearm your system an indefinite number of times.
Of course, if you want a fully supported version of Vista, you're going to have to activate it. And if you want to avoid the hassle of having to reenter a key every thirty days or risk losing all of your data, you should activate your software. But if for some reason you might have a copy of the operating system and a reason not to activate it, this hack may come in handy.
