-====================================================================================================
- [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.

- 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

-
- - 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.
-

-
- - 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

- 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,
