Step 1: Start your RDP from Nova RDP Control Panel
Begin by starting your RDP through the Nova RDP Control Panel. Ensure that your server is accessible via RDP before proceeding with the rearm process.
Step 2: Launch Command Prompt with Administrative Privileges
To initiate the process, it is necessary to open Command Prompt with administrative rights. This can be achieved by right-clicking on the Start menu and selecting "Command Prompt (Admin)" or "Windows PowerShell (Admin)."
Step 3: Reset the License Activation
To reset the license activation, input the subsequent command in Command Prompt and hit Enter:
slmgr -rearm
This specific command will effectively reset the activation status of the system, thereby extending the grace period for activation.
Step 3: Reboot the Server
Following the execution of the rearm command, it is crucial to restart the Windows Server to ensure that the modifications are implemented correctly. This can be done by typing the subsequent command in Command Prompt and pressing Enter:
shutdown /r /t 0
This command will promptly initiate a server restart.
