[HWID] Digital License Activation:
|
|
====================================================================================================
|
|
|
|
- This activation is supported for Windows 10 ONLY.
|
|
- This activation does not store any files in your system.
|
|
- This activation is a permanent activation for your system Hardware.
|
|
|
|
- On a system, this activation can be created for all the supported editions, and all can be
|
|
linked to Microsoft account without any issues.
|
|
|
|
- Once a system is activated, this activation cannot be removed. (Because the license is stored in
|
|
the Microsoft servers and not in the user's system.)
|
|
|
|
- Any significant changes in the Hardware (such as a motherboard) may deactivate the system.
|
|
It is possible to reactivate a system that was deactivated because of significant hardware
|
|
changes, IF your activation, was linked to an online Microsoft account.
|
|
|
|
- For activation to succeed, the Windows Update Service and internet connectivity must be enabled.
|
|
If you are trying to activate without these conditions being met, then the system will auto-
|
|
activate later when the conditions are met.
|
|
|
|
- Auto activation scenario after the Windows reinstall:
|
|
- The Internet is required. (Only at the time of activation)
|
|
- The system will auto-activate if Retail (Consumer) media was used for the installation.
|
|
- The system will NOT auto-activate if VL (Business) media was used for the installation.
|
|
In this case, the user will have to insert that windows edition Retail/OEM key (find keys below
|
|
in this page) to activate, if the user doesn't wish to activate again using this script.
|
|
|
|
- Possible reasons for activation failure:
|
|
- The Internet is not connected.
|
|
- Windows update service is disabled.
|
|
- Use of a VPN, and/or a privacy-based hosts file, firewall rules.
|
|
- Corrupt system files.
|
|
- Microsoft servers block the activation request from some countries such as Iran.
|
|
- Rarely, Microsoft's activation servers are the problem.
|
|
- Some machines are not able to generate GenuineTicket.xml file using gatherosstate.exe
|
|
The reason is unknown (to me). Please contact me if it happens to you.
|
|

|
|
|
|
- Make sure the Windows Update Service and internet are both enabled.
|
|
- Open a command prompt (run cmd.exe) as administrator, and enter following listed commands in the
|
|
the sequence in which they are given.
|
|
- Enter Retail/OEM Key, (Replace '%key%' with the key from the above list) with the following command:
|
|
|
|
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk %key%
|
|
|
|
- Make sure slc.dll and gatherosstate.exe files are located in the folder, "C:\Files" and enter
|
|
the following commands to generate GenuineTicket.xml file.
|
|
|
|
For x86-x64 systems,
|
|
|
|
pushd "C:\Files"
|
|
rundll32 "C:\Files\slc.dll",PatchGatherosstate
|
|
call "C:\Files\gatherosstatemodified.exe"
|
|
|
|
For ARM64 systems,
|
|
|
|
call "C:\Files\gatherosstate.exe"
|
|
|
|
- Now a GenuineTicket.xml file should be created in the folder "C:\Files\", copy and paste this file in the
|
|
folder named, "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTicket\"
|
|
|
|
- Now apply this ticket using the following commands in this sequence:
|
|
|
|
net stop ClipSVC
|
|
net start ClipSVC
|
|
|
|
- Activate Windows with the following command:
|
|
|
|
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
|
|
|
|
- Check Activation Status with the following command:
|
|
|
|
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /xpr
|
|
|
|
- Done.
|
|
|
|
* Note - [clipup -v -o -altto <ticket_path>] method to apply the ticket was not suggested because
|
|
of the issues in case the username have spaces or non English characters.
|
|
|
|
====================================================================================================
|
|
Troubleshoot activation issues:
|
|
====================================================================================================
|
|
|
|
- Make sure the internet is connected.
|
|
|
|
- Open CMD and type services.msc and hit Enter, When Services opens up, look for 'Windows Update'
|
|
and Make sure its startup type is set to Automatic. Some update blocking tools and scripts
|
|
usually permanently block the update service, you need to make sure it's not the case.
|
|
|
|
- VPN, privacy-based hosts and/or firewall rules may cause problems with the activation. Disable
|
|
them if you are facing problems in activation.
|
|
|
|
- Reboot the system.
|
|
|
|
- Now run the script to activate Windows 10, and if unsuccessful,
|
|
Try the troubleshoot button in the settings activation page.
|
|
If still unsuccessful then read additional troubleshoot options listed below.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Open CMD as administrator, and enter the following command:
|
|
|
|
Dism /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
|
|
|
|
- After it's done, reboot the system and open CMD as administrator again, and enter the
|
|
following command:
|
|
|
|
sfc.exe /scannow
|
|
|
|
- After it's done, reboot the system and run the activation script, and if unsuccessful,
|
|
open CMD as administrator again, and enter the following command:
|
|
|
|
slmgr.vbs /rearm
|
|
|
|
- Reboot the system and run the activation script, and if unsuccessful,
|
|
You may try to rebuild licensing Tokens.dat as suggested in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2736303
|
|
(this will require to repair Office afterwards.)
|
|
|
|
- Reboot the system and run the activation script, and if unsuccessful,
|
|
try cleaning the clipup using the following commands, it will reset all the HWID/KMS38 installed
|
|
licences in the current system installation. open CMD as administrator again, and enter the
|
|
following commands one by one:
|
|
|
|
net stop ClipSVC
|
|
rundll32 clipc.dll,ClipCleanUpState
|
|
|
|
- Reboot the system (important) and run the activation script, and if unsuccessful,
|
|
Make sure hardware component proper drivers are installed, check manufacturer site/Windows-
|
|
update for drivers.
|
|
|
|
- After it's done, reboot the system and run the activation script, and if unsuccessful,
|
|
it may be time to start over from the very beginning and do a clean install of windows :D
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
Activation is blocked in some countries -
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Microsoft servers block the activation request from some countries such as Iran,
|
|
To activate the system in those countries, follow the below steps,
|
|
- In the settings app, Change Region and Timezone to the USA location and use a VPN, choose the
|
|
the location of the USA. Now run the script, it should activate now.
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Some machines are not able to generate GenuineTicket.xml file using gatherosstate.exe
|
|
The reason is unknown (to me). Please contact me if it happens to you.
