Interpreting "remaining Windows Reset Count" and "Trust Time"

Yesterday when explaining the slmgr.vbs command , there is a problem is not resolved, is to enter the "SLMGR.VBS-DLV" command, in the information displayed, notice the last two lines: "The remaining Windows reset Count " and " Trust time ", the former display number is 3, the latter shows the current time. A lot of people do not understand, at first I see the time also quite puzzled, why is 3 times? So to find the answer on the Internet, some people say it is a countdown 3 days, 3 days after the system is in an inactive state. I think this is definitely wrong, my? Windows 7? It's been permanently activated. There are a lot of people on the Internet asking the same question, but the argument is not very clear, I read a lot of official information, finally came to a relatively clear conclusion, that is: If your system has been permanently activated, do not care about it! But as an IT technician, a Windows operating system enthusiast, must learn to get the bottom of the book and understand it. What exactly does the Windows reset count mean? What is trust time? This article will answer each of them.

Reset count is: The number of times the reset command has been run. The number of times left depends on whether you run the Slmgr.vbs-rearm command and run it a few times. If your system has never run the rearm command, then it should appear as "3" as I did before, and the run-time will be reduced one time until it is "0". Some people will ask, I have never used the Slmgr.vbs-rearm command, why show 2 or 1 times? Don't forget that some system activation software invokes this command during execution. There are people who show a reset count of 4 times, what's going on? According to the current incomplete data shows that the upgraded Windows will show 4, that is, not a completely new installation. Even more bizarre, there are people who show up 1000 times, what's the situation? It's silly! I was also very curious, so in the Forum to reply to ask him how the original activation, he said is with God key, what is God key this issue will be discussed separately.

Expand your knowledge a little bit more! We installed the new Windows 8/7 with a 30-day trial period and will not be available after 30 days. But many people may not know that using a slmgr.vbs-rearm command can be extended for another 30 days, a total of 3 times, 3x30=90 days, plus the initial installation of 30 days of trial, a total of 120 days. Microsoft actually gave us a 120-day trial time! This is not the case, but it can be extended by modifying the registry. The specific method is to open the registry to navigate to the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Nt\currentversion\softwareprotectionplatform,
Then the "SkipRearm" key value is changed to 1, the default is 0. This will allow you to use the "slmgr.vbs-rearm" command again later. I have not changed, I heard that this key value can be modified 8 times, that is to say we can repeat 8 times, add up, just 12 months. Microsoft is very kind, give us a free year!

After reading the above, you should know that the remaining Windows reset count and soft activation does not matter, is the system comes with a feature. Also, be sure to reset the command in 第29-30 days (that is, 1 days or 0 days), or you will waste the time remaining.

As for "Trust time", you can ignore it, because you see it, it always shows the current time, rather, the time it takes to run the command. What it wants to say is: At this point, your system is "trusted" and active.
