How to Use Windows 7 Without Activation?

Most of you might be aware of the fact that it is possible to use Windows 7 and Vista for 120 days without activation. This is actually possible using the slmgr -rearm command which will extend the grace period from 30 days to 120 days. However in this post I will show you a small trick using which it is possible to use Windows 7 without activation for approximately an year! Here is a way to do that.

1. Goto “Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories” . Right click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run as Administrator“. If you are not the administrator then you are prompted to enter the password, or else you can proceed to step-2.

2. Now type the following command and hit enter

slmgr -rearm

3. You will be prompted to restart the computer. Once restarted the trial period will be once again reset to 30 days. You can use the above command for up to 3 times by which you can extend the trial period to 120 days without activation.

4. Now comes the actual trick by which you can extend the trial period for another 240 days. Open Registry Editor (type regedit in “Run” and hit Enter) and navigate to the following location

" HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform "

5. In right-side pane, change value of SkipRearm to 1.

6. Now you will be able to use the slmgr -rearm command for another 8 times so that you can skip activation process for another 240 days. So you will get 120 + 240 = 360 days of free Windows 7 usage.

120 days using “slmgr -rearm” command before registry edit +                                                                                                                                                              
240 days using “slmgr -rearm” command after registry edit
 =      360 Days

Change your Facebook Page name (even with more than 200 Likes)

30 April, 2013

With such a great news service from the likes of Mashable and The Next Web it’s not often that I publish an exclusive but here’s a minor piece of Facebook news that it seems no-one else has picked up on.
Up until now, if you wanted to change the name of your Facebook Page and you have more than 200 Likes it could be very difficult. In fact, Facebook Help states “You can’t currently change the name of a Page with 200 or more likes.”
The good news is that you can now put in a request to Facebook via the Admin Panel and if permission is granted, you can change the name of your Page no matter how many Likes you have.
The process for changing your Facebook Page name is as follows:

1. Go to your Admin Panel
2. Select Edit Page then Update Public Info
3. In the Basic Info section go to Name about half way down the Page
4. If less than 200 Likes change Edit the name in the Name field
5. If more than 200 Likes select the Request Change link
6. Check the ‘I understand the formatting guidelines for my Page’s new name’ box
7. Select the appropriate option under ‘Your Page name currently represents’
8. Check the ‘I would still like to change my Page name. I have documentation to demonstrate this change’ box
9. Enter ‘Your Desired Page Name’
10. Enter the reason for the name change from the drop down
11. Upload appropriate documentation such as a utility bill or phone bill.

Facebook will then let you know if your request has been approved; hopefully within a few days. If you have any questions on your Facebook Page please use the Ask a Question flyout on the left.
