Win 7 Beta Build 7057 Expiry Date

[bill bolton]

For what its worth, the beta registration expiry date is March 2010 for the Win 7 closed beta build 7057.

This is a very substantial blow out compared to the Win 7 beta registration expiry dates on other post build 7000 closed beta releases.

Cheers,

Can anyone tells me how to check the expiration date of my current Windows 7 system?
I was looking around the control panel, and could not find anything related to expiration date.

Expiration date is shown by the winver command.

Cool...
I just ran the "winver" command on the Win 7 build 7068 and came up "Expires 3/1/2010 9:29PM".
It's good to know.

Same for build 7077... expires 2 march 2010 9.59 am

Also note that the difference in date is due to the difference in Time Zone and not to difference in build number

Expiration date is shown by the winver command.

A Senior Member over at the Windows 7 Forums says that the output of the winver command (About Windows) is incorrect in this case.

To check the actual expiry date you need to run the following command

1. Click Start and search for cmd. Right-click the cmd icon and select “Run As Administrator”.
2. Run the following command,
C:\Windows\system32>cscript %systemroot%\system32\slmgr.vbs -dlv
This should show you the REAL expiry date
license actually expires in August (02.09.2009 on mine) .

The About Windows has an Error in it.

You're right, winver and slmgr display different expiration dates. For me (7077), the slmgr displays the date three months later on in 2010.

I just ran that command line on my X31 running Win7 Ult 7068 and it comes up
Evaluation End Date:6/1/2010 9:29:59 PM.

Mine ends 6/1/2010 4:59:59PM.

So close of business then huh? Crafty little devils!

I know I will be purchasing Windows 7 anyway so getting a full year out of 7100 for free is nice.
