Windows 7 也支持時(shí)間延長法

Win7之家（ afsion.com.cn）：Windows 7 也支持時(shí)間延長法

 按照微軟Pre-beta版本軟件的慣例，Windows 7 Pre-beta也將會(huì)是個(gè)定時(shí)炸彈，也就是說，你最多可以用到2009年8月1日，盡管通過winver命令我們可以看到時(shí)間限制為2009年7月1日。無論是否有產(chǎn)品密鑰，Windows 7 Pre-beta，包括6801和6956，都可以用到2009年8月1日。

在Windows 7 Pre-beta的用戶協(xié)議中也有有關(guān)此時(shí)間的說法：“此軟件將會(huì)在2009年8月1日時(shí)自動(dòng)失效。除此之外，你不會(huì)收到其他任何通知。當(dāng)系統(tǒng)失效時(shí)，你將無法取得與此軟件相關(guān)的數(shù)據(jù)。”

事實(shí)上，即使你通過種種方法激活了Windows 7 Pre-beta，如使用泄露的key或其他小技巧等，系統(tǒng)還是會(huì)在2009年8月1日自動(dòng)失效。而到期后，用戶其實(shí)無需重新尋找可用key等方法去激活系統(tǒng)，因?yàn)�，Windows 7和Vista一樣，也是可以通過軟件許可管理器或SLMFR.vbs時(shí)間延長的。

在Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows 7 Server (Windows Server 2008 R2)中，用戶可以通過Slmgr來延長系統(tǒng)的試用時(shí)間。在Windows 7中，用戶可以通過slmgr -rearm命令延長試用期達(dá)120天。每次輸入命令后，系統(tǒng)試用期將會(huì)延長30天。

另外，2009年8月1日的時(shí)間限制也適用于Windows 7中用戶許可協(xié)議。“此用戶協(xié)議將會(huì)在2009年8月1日時(shí)失效。在此期間，你可以在此協(xié)議下使用改軟件。但如果你沒有產(chǎn)品密鑰的話，你將不得不每30天重裝一次系統(tǒng)。”

附部分原文：

The development milestones of Windows 7, be them pre-Beta or fully-fledged Beta, are time-bombed, as is the case with all Microsoft pre-release software. When it comes down to the Milestone 3 releases of the next iteration of the Windows client, the expiration date is officially set to August 1, 2009. This despite the operating system indicating via Winver that it will expire as early as July 1, 2009. With or without a product key, pre-release versions of Windows 7 including Build 6801 and 6956, but not earlier than 6801, can be used up until August 1, 2009.

The expiration date of Windows 7 is delivered under the Time Sensitive Software section of the End User License Agreement. “This software will stop running on August 1, 2009. You may not receive any other notice. You may not be able to access data used with the software when it stops running,” Microsoft informs.

Indeed, even development milestones of Windows 7 that are activated using a genuine or a leaked product key, or by any other workaround, will stop running come August 1, 2009. Still, when it comes down to activation, users needn't resort to cracks or leaked product keys. Windows 7, even in the pre-release builds, supports rearming, just like Windows Vista. This is done via the Software License Manager or SLMGR.vbs. Slmgr is a tool that, as its name implies, permits end-users to deal with the various aspects of licensing.
