Hi,

I'm creating a home lab to study CCENT and other things.

I've got the a couple of routers and a switch. Now I want to add a host or two. I've got VMWARE workstation and a trial version of Windows 10. Can I just re-install a new Windows 10 virtual machine every 90 days and continue this trend till I complete my training? Or do I need to request a new trial from Microsoft each time the 90 days expires?

Cheers!

Have you tried running a CMD as admin and running slmgr -rearm then restarting?

 

I have yet to install the host, just looking ahead.

If that CMD does not work or is problematic to run, would it be best to take a snap shot when I first install the Windows VM and then revert to the snapshot after 90 days?

Cheers

 

Im pretty sure the rearm trick no longer works, you can try it..

 

I've never tried it but I'm pretty sure a snapshot revert doesn't get around the evaluation time limits, or else all sorts of licensing issues would be happening world wide and losing Microsoft lots of $$$$
