+ [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.
+
+ * Troubleshoot guide is listed below.

+
+ - 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.
