The Rearm Server and Activate Server scripts provided in the start menu are for ease of rearming the virtual machine when the 180 day activation period ends. The Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 RTM virtual machine images will contain three rearm activation periods at time of release.
Please follow these instructions to rearm the virtual machine.
1. Go to start menu
2. Run Rearm Server
NOTE: The virtual machine will reboot while this script is ran
3. Log back into the virtual machine after reboot
4. Run Activate Server
5. Verify the activation period is 180 days
