Run the Slmgr.vbs script that is in the System32 folder. Use the -dli switch to run this script:
slmgr.vbs -dli
The command displays the number of days that are left in the current 60-day evaluation period.

I have to wait until this evening to try it, but look for the green check mark sometime before UTC midnight (bust the cap!) if it works :) – Joel Coel Aug 24 '09 at 20:33

Thanks Joel! But it's not a problem. I will not reach the cap today. I like moderating more than hunting for points at the moment. – splattne Aug 24 '09 at 20:40
