Remove Windows Not Genuine Watermark Without Using Any Patches And Cracks | Make Windows 7 Genuine Without Using Crack

In this article we will learn how to make your Windows 7 Genuine without using any crack or third party tools. Please remember we on bench3 do not motivate you to use non genuine windows. This is not a patch or crack stuff. We are just using the build in VBS code that Microsoft have developed for some other reason.

Warning! This article has been given only for informational and educational purpose. We do not encourage pirated or illegal software. If you’re using an illegal copy of the software, please purchase an original copy. bench3 is not responsible for your work or use.

The first time you power up Windows 7, you may feel a sense — it looks very similar to Windows Vista. However, behind the familiar UI lies a more powerful and versatile operating system. The activation part is not the same as you know in case of Windows Vista. What ever it is, if you want to know the new features of Windows 7, Here are some of the most prominent new features in Windows 7. Read more: http://www.bench3.com/2009/10/new-features-of-windows-7-new-in.html

If you have purchased Windows 7 from Microsoft Store or from other vendor, we would recommend you to read the official document related to activating Microsoft Windows 7 in the following location. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/Windows-7-activation-error-invalid-product-key 

Here is an simple way u can make your windows 7 genuine. No need to use and third party patches or cracks. Just a simple way.

If you have exceeded the maximum allowed rearm, please read the last section of this post on how to modify the registry to rearm again.

Before  you continue , please make sure you have administration rights on the Windows 7 machine which you want to make genuine.

1. Click Start and type cmd in start menu search box (Refer Screen Shot).

2. right click the cmd.exe and choose run as administrator (refer Screen Shot).

3. Choose yes if it asks.

4. Now Now in the command prompt window, type slmgr -rearm and press enter (Refer Screen Shot).

5. Restart your system. Try to restart your system twice.

6. You are done.

What you have to realize is that if you apply this fix while you can still see your desktop background, it will rearm the system for another 30 days, up to a maximum of 3 times.

If you apply the fix after you lose your background (ie your desktop wallpaper background goes black, and you get the notification at the bottom right of the screen), you need to first uninstall the kb971033 update, then apply the fix. It will then be a PERMANENT fix. If you're running a Remove WAT program, WAT needs to be restored first. Never mind WAT, if you have no idea about that.

If you have exceeded the maximum allowed rearm, you will get an error message just like this,

" Error: 0xC004D307 The maximum allowed number of re-arms has been exceeded. You must re-install the OS before trying to re-arm again "

Well, here is a fix for that, Just do:

Locate the following in your Windows Registry,

  • [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform]
  • "SkipRearm"=dword:00000000

After your 3rd reset this key will be 00000000 - simply change it to 00000001

Now you can rearm again. It is just easy as it seems, no kidding!

you must have installed the Windows 7 update KB971033. In order to prevent these files from being installed again, make sure your Windows Update in Control Panel is set to Notify but do not automatically download. This way, you can make sure that you are not downloading the same files again.

July 24, 2011 at 6:25 PM delete

slmgr.vbs even works on Windows 7 Sp1, just now tested. I wonder what you are typying. Or may be some files corrupted. Just re check...
slmgr.vbs -rearm

all small letters
there is one space between vbs and -
double check the syntax, you need to type as it is.

This is not a permanent fix, and you have to re-arm it once a month.

You will get this message eventually:

Guys, this IS a permanent fix. What you have to realise is that if you apply this fix while you can still see your desktop background, it will rearm the system for another 30 days, up to a maximum of 3 times. If you apply the fix after you lose your background (ie your desktop wallpaper background goes black, and you get the notification at the bottom right of the screen), you need to first uninstall the kb971033 update, then apply the fix. It will then be a PERMANENT fix. I've had it on a HP laptop running 7 Ultimate for the past 6 months and have not had to rearm again. If you're running a Remove WAT programme, WAT needs to be restored first.
Good luck.

Have you uninstalled the kb971033 update? This needs to be done first, before working through the rest of the fix.

PS: for the ones who it does not work for try retyping it correctly and restarting when done. If you still see the watermark on the bottom right of the screen give it a few mins or restart your computer. It should be gone then

Don't forget to hide the kb971033 update when it appears in the update list. To do this right click it, and select HIDE UPDATE. DO NOT INSTALL it, as you will be back to square one.

For those that after few rearms get the message:
" Error: 0xC004D307 The maximum allowed number of re-arms has been exceeded.
You must re-install the OS before trying to re-arm again "

Just do:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform]
"SkipRearm"=dword:00000001

After your 3rd reset this key will be 00000000 - simply change it as above to 00000001 -- now you can rearm again.

It is just easy as it seems, no kidding!

Didn't work for me because I uninstalled kb971033 and still says not genuine. Should I update the 14 updates and try again?

Christa, it all depends on what updates are available, and when you installed them. Have you installed SP1 after uninstalling kb971033? This is important, as if you have, the kb971033 update is hidden inside the SP1 update, then you can't access it.
I would suggest uninstalling both updates. Then install kb971033, THEN install SP1. Next UNINSTALL kb971033. after that, do the following in this order.
1. Go to windows update, >check for updates.
Locate kb971033, right click it and select HIDE UPDATE.
Select Change Settings and from the drop down list under Important Updates, select "Download but let me choose whether to install".
Save changes and exit Windows Updates.
2. Click Start button, type cmd into search box.
3. Right click cmd in search box and select Run as Administrator
4. In command prompt type the following EXACTLY: slmgr -rearm. (Leave a space after the 1st r and the dash).
5. Hit Enter.
6. In the Windows Host Script window that opens, select OK.
7. Exit Command Prompt. (Type exit,in the prompt, then hit enter, or hit the x in the top right corner).
8. Re-boot, then re-boot again.
You should be done, and Windows should now be activated.
Good luck!

If slmgr is not recognised, try typing slmgr.vbs -rearm.
It depends on the Build you have. (Build 7600, 7601 etc).
Remember to leave a space before the s of vbs and the -

Hey thanks a lot! Well I just did that and it worked but when I restarded the computer it said the same thing that windows isn't original or something. Well I just want to ask was this for the thing which shows up on my desktop or generally to remove the "program" itself. I'd like an answer from you please.

I really need help. I was able to do this for the first three times. WHen I went in to restart the counter it didn't work. I get the watermark and all. So I tried it again, now it won't start at all, it just stays on the watermake never going into the desktop. Every once in awhile it will go to the dest top but nothing will work, double clicking on things just cause them to do nothing or the whole thing will lock up. Please I really need help. I have 64-bit toshia a505 with win7 that it came with. Feel free to email me j h e r t e l 2 4 2 @ y a h o o . com

It worked for few times, then this time around, I got the message saying I exceeded the maximum number. So I went to REGEDIT and did exactly what it says, then repeated the process. After it says it completed successfully and I rebooted twice, I'm still getting the not genuine message. Any help?

I had the same problems - this solution worked, then stopped, and the registry hack didn't work.

If you have Windows 7 Build 7601, you may want to check this out: http://ayaanonline.blogspot.com/2012/01/fix-windows-7-build-7601-error.html

I was skeptical at first, but the download did not trigger my Avast anti-virus (and it is very sensitive). I ran the fix as instructed, rebooted, and TADA!!! FIXED!!!

Stupid Microsoft - sadly, by trying to catch the handful of people who get pirated versions, they are forcing others to take these measures. Ironic.

But i have a small doubt.
Actually the thing is, initially my desktop wallpaper was lost. And after that i followed the above given steps. So is it a permanent fix?
And one more thing is after rebooting my laptop, i did not get my wallpaper back, but the error message on the right bottom of the screen was gone. So, it means the problem is completely solved or not??

Same problem that Anonymous posted on 23rd September 2014. I uninstalled the updates, the slmgr-rearm prompt had expired because I used all of my chances so I went into the regedit and re-set it. I then was able to use the slmgr-rearm and it SAID it was successful and to restart but when I re-started it was still there! Any suggestions on what to try next?
