Re-arm? Activate?
You go through the prompts and supply your valid Vista serial code when asked. Voila.

Oh that one.
'slmgr -rearm' isn't working? Are you doing it from an elevated command prompt? You have to run cmd as an administrator, so hit ctrl+shift+enter inside the command prompt, or right click and 'run as administrator' on the shortcut.
It can take a while to do it's thing before it asks you to reboot... Also you can only do it on day 29 or 30.

Heh I meant to say that you should do it on those days cos that way you get more trial. If you do it on day 10 you're losing 20 days of free Vista.
The command works at any time
