How can I rearm Windows Server to extend its evaluation period?

To rearm Windows Server, follow these steps using the slmgr.vbs script:

1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator. You can find ‘cmd’ in the Start menu, right-click, and select ‘Run as administrator’.
2. Type the command slmgr.vbs /rearm and press Enter.
3. A message should confirm the rearm was successful.
4. Restart the server to enable the changes.

This script resets the licensing state, giving you additional time before needing a product key.

Here’s how you can rearm your Windows Server to extend all its features without activating with a product key:

5. Restart the server for the rearm to take effect.

This method allows an additional 180 days of the trial period and can be done up to three times.
