Save the file as delwpa.bat on drive C: at the root folder level. reg load HKLM\MY_SYSTEM "%~dp0Windows\System32\config\system".To perform this ‘hard’ reset create a batch script file with the following commands: This ‘hard’ rearm reset gives us one less thing to worry about if we need to tweak anything in our images. In our managed environment, this method of rearming Windows is ultra handy in our SOE creation, in that we do not have to keep starting from scratch when we run out of rearms. The only way to run this command is within the WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) or WinPE (Windows Preinstallation Environment). Given the importance of this WPA registry key, Microsoft has locked it (and its sub-keys) from been modified or deleted in a normal user session.

Reg load HKLM\MY_SYSTEM “%~dp0Windows\System32\config\system” The deletion of the WPA registry key is achieved via the following command: When the WPA registry key is deleted, the whole licensing status of Windows 7 is re-initiated to the Initial Grace Period as if Windows 7 has just been installed. This WPA vulnerability is related to a WPA registry key which contains the ‘Last Rearm Time’. There is no limit to the number of times that the rearm count can be reset, meaning that a user could theoretically run an unlicensed copy of Windows 7 forever, without the need for proper activation, and without applying any activation hacks. Through a Windows Product Activation (WPA) vulnerability that Microsoft introduced in Windows 7, it is possible to reset the remaining rearm count back to 4.

Users will then be subjected to certain annoyances such as black desktop background, repetitive notification messages stating that this copy of Windows is illegal or counterfeited, and a reminder to register the software at login.

When a user uses up all three available rearms, the only option left is to enter a genuine product key to activate Windows 7, or leave the operating system in a crippled, non-genuine state. When this grace period expires, users can rearm Windows 7 for an additional 30 days, and do this up to 3 times, effectively allowing the OS to run legally for 120 days without a genuine product key.

After installing Windows 7, and before activation, the operating system will run in an Initial Grace Period license status for 30 days.
