+ KMS38 Activation:
+====================================================================================================
+
+ - This activation method activates Windows 10 and Windows Server (14393 and later builds),
+ until the year 2038.
+ - This activation method does not store any files on the system.
+
+ - Make sure the following things have been accounted for, before applying KMS38 Activation:
+ - Before the activation, if any KMS activator is installed, then make sure to uninstall it
+ completely.
+ - After KMS38 activation for the Windows Operating System has been achieved, if you want to
+ additionally, use the 180 Days KMS Activator for MS Office, then you must make sure that
+ it (the 180 Days KMS Activator for MS Office) is compatible with Windows KMS38 activation.
+ FYI, the following activators are compatible and can activate Office
+ without disrupting the Windows KMS38 activation.

+ Online KMS Activation Script https://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/316668-microsoft-activation-scripts/
+
+ - Any KMS Activator which is not compatible with KMS38, may overwrite the KMS38 activation for
+ Windows with its own 180 days activation, thereby destroying the KMS38 activation for Windows.
+ To prevent this accidental overwriting, you can apply KMS38 protection for Windows, check
+ the Extras folder for more details.
+
+ - Why is the script setting the specific KMS host to 127.0.0.2 (localhost)?
+ - By doing this, global KMS IP can not replace KMS38 activation but can be used with Office and
+ other Windows Editions.
+ - In case you don't like it, you can remove it with following codes, open CMD as admin and enter,
+
+set "SPPk=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform"
+reg delete "HKLM\%SPPk%\55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f" /f

+
+ - Make sure to properly and completely remove any previously-installed KMS activator if one already exists.
+ - Open CMD as Admin, and enter the following listed commands in the sequence in which they are given.
+ - Enter Generic Volume License Key (GVLK) (Replace '%key%' with the key from the above list)
+ with the following command:
+
+cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk %key%
+
+ - Set specific KMS host to 127.0.0.2 [Localhost] with the following command: (Run one by one)
+ - By doing this, the global KMS IP can not replace the KMS38 activation, and can then safely be used with MS Office
+ and other Windows Editions.
+ - It's optional.
+
+set spp=SoftwareLicensingProduct
+for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %G in ('"wmic path %spp% where (Description like '%%KMSCLIENT%%' and Name like 'Windows%%' and PartialProductKey is not NULL) get ID /VALUE"') do (set app=%G)
+wmic path %spp% where ID='%app%' call ClearKeyManagementServiceMachine
+wmic path %spp% where ID='%app%' call ClearKeyManagementServicePort
+wmic path %spp% where ID='%app%' call SetKeyManagementServiceMachine MachineName="127.0.0.2"
+wmic path %spp% where ID='%app%' call SetKeyManagementServicePort 1688
+
+ - Make sure slc.dll and gatherosstate.exe files are located in the folder, "C:\Files" and enter
+ following command to generate GenuineTicket.xml file.
+
+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:
+ (In case of server cor and acor editions, copy the clipup.exe file to the folder "C:\Windows\System32\")
+
+net stop ClipSVC
+net start ClipSVC
+
+ - Check the expiry date of the activation with the following command:
+
+cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /xpr
+
+ - If the expiry date is not in the year 2038, then enter the following command:
+
+cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm-app 55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f
+set spp=SoftwareLicensingProduct
+for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %G in ('"wmic path %spp% where (Description like '%%KMSCLIENT%%' and Name like 'Windows%%' and PartialProductKey is not NULL) get ID /VALUE"') do (set app=%G)
+cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm-sku %app%
+
+ - check expiry date again, now it should show activation until the year 2038.
+
+ - Done.
+
+====================================================================================================
+ Troubleshoot activation issues:
+====================================================================================================
+
+ - Make sure to completely remove any previously-installed KMS activators if any exist, before
+ installing KMS38 activation.
+
+ - Reboot the system.
+
+ - Now run the script to activate Windows 10, and if unsuccessful,
+ Try the troubleshoot button in settings activation page.
+ If still unsuccessful then read additional troubleshoot options listed below.
+
+--------------------------------------------
+
+ - Open CMD as Admin, and enter the following command:
+
+Dism /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
+
+ - After its done, reboot the system and Open CMD as Admin, 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 (important) 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, it may be
+ time to start over from the very beginning and do a clean install of windows :D
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - 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.
