Introduction Since most of us work normal jobs we may not always have the time necessary to perfect our Windows Home Server or our Small Business Server 2011 Essentials Server the way we want to before being forced to activate or copy of the product. However, there is a way of extending that mandatory time limit of activating Windows Home Server 2011 or even Small Business Server 2011 Essentials. What I am going to show you is nothing new and has been around since the days of when Windows Vista was released into Beta which has continued on all the way into Microsoft’s most current released line of Operating Systems like Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. That is of course resetting the mandatory activation grace period of Microsoft’s Operating Systems back to the beginning of its initial post activation period. In Microsoft’s client line of Operating Systems (Windows Vista and Windows 7) the activation grace period allowed is 30 days, on their Server Operating Systems (Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2) it’s 60 days, Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials is 60 Days, and on Windows Home Server 2011 it is 30 days. Shouldn’t it be 60 days for Windows Home Server 2011 if it is based on the Windows Server 2008 R2 code? The answer in this case is No, Microsoft in their infinite Wisdom decided to only allow 30 days for Windows Home Server 2011 yet allow Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials 60 days before you are forced to activate their product.

However, Microsoft has allowed as in their other Operating Systems since Vista to extend this grace period (120 days for WHS 2011 and 240 days for SBS 2011 Essentials) by allowing us to reset or in this case “re-arm” the grace period 3 times. There are two ways this can be accomplished, Option one is manually which is accomplished from the command Prompt. Windows 7 32 bit serial key free. Option two is the automated way which can be done with the use of an xml script in conjunction with Task Manager.
