System administrators also certainly don’t want to face with uncertainty or instability possibly brought by expiry of activation grace period, especially if the server is running critical processes, applications or databases. Surely you don’t want a warning dialog message box pops up suddenly to notify that you may be victim of counterfeiting or to activate the system now, especially if your notebook/laptop computer is used for business presentation. Neither Windows nor Windows Server display prominently when is the activation-free evaluation grace period ends (even though it’s actively reminding user to activate Windows with information on how many days left to activate, which usually ignored by users).
The initial grace period given is 30 days and 60 days respectively for Windows client OS and Windows Server OS, and user has to “rearm” the system when the expiration of grace period is nearly ending in order to reset and extend the trial evaluation period, and hence granted the activation grace period again.
Windows and Windows Server operating systems such as Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 or later have free activation grace period which allows user to install and use the operating system for 120 days and 240 days without product key or product activation completed.
