When you install without a product key, you get an automatic 30 day evaluation period.Right-click on the computer icon on the start menu, you’ll see the basic system information window, and you’ll also see the amount of days you have left to activate:<img src="http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/9172/4g7v313sc3.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Start a command prompt as Administrator.<img src="http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/6580/4d7lmzbrb2.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />And issue this command:slmgr -rearmReboot for the change to take effect, and voila, you have 30 more days.<img src="http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9501/2rrni3sss1.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />You can only extend three times, so the total grace period for a Vista evaluation is 120 days.</blockquote>
