+<li>This method requires Internet at the time of activation.</li>
+<li>IDM updates can be installed directly without having to activate

+<code>/act</code> parameter.</li>
+<li>For reset in unattended mode, run the script with <code>/res</code>

+<h2>How does it work?</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>IDM stores the data related to trial and activation in across
+various registry keys. Some of these keys are locked to protect them
+from tampering and data is stored in a pattern to track the fake serial
+issue and the remaining trial days. To activate it, script here simply
+generate those registry keys by triggering a few downloads in IDM and
+identifies those registry keys and locks them so IDM can’t edit and
+view. That way IDM can not show the warning that it’s activated with a
+fake serial key.</li>

+- In the extracted folder, run the file named `IAS.cmd`
+- You will see the activation options, and follow onscreen instructions.
+- That's all.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## Info
+
+#### Activation
+
+- This script applies registry lock method to activate Internet download manager (IDM).
+- This method requires Internet at the time of activation.
+- IDM updates can be installed directly without having to activate again.
+- After the activation, if in some case, the IDM starts to show activation nag screen, then just run the activation option again.
+
+#### Reset IDM Activation / Trial
+
+- Internet download manager provides 30 days trial period, you can use this script to reset this Activation / Trial period whenever you want.
+- This option also can be used to restore status if in case the IDM reports fake serial key and other similar errors.
+
+#### OS requirement
+
+- Project is supported for Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11 and their Server equivalent.
+- Powershell method to run IAS is supported on Windows 8 and higher.
+
+#### Advanced Info
+
+- To add a custom name in IDM license info, edit the line number 21 in the script file.
+- For activation in unattended mode, run the script with `/act` parameter.
+- For reset in unattended mode, run the script with `/res` parameter.
+- To enable silent mode with above two methods, run the script with `/s` parameter.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## How does it work?
+
+- IDM stores the data related to trial and activation in across various registry keys. Some of these keys are locked to protect them from tampering and data is stored in a pattern to track the fake serial issue and the remaining trial days. To activate it, script here simply generate those registry keys by triggering a few downloads in IDM and identifies those registry keys and locks them so IDM can't edit and view. That way IDM can not show the warning that it's activated with a fake serial key.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+

+- Browser Integration Fix: [Chrome](https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/register/new_faq/bi9.html) [FireFox](https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/register/new_faq/bi4.html)
