+<p>Around 8 Feb 2023 in China, MS licensing servers failed to properly
+connect and it disrupted many Windows services including activation.
+Solution to this issue is to simply hardcode another country’s MS
+licensing servers IP in hosts file and Windows will use that for
+activation. This method can also be used if for any reason DNS is
+failing to resolve MS licensing servers.</p>
