**2-** [Modify](https://github.com/Gamers-Against-Weed/GamersOsState) the gatherosstate.exe file itself so that it doesn't check the system's activation status and we can put the activation period as we wish.
-- **Note:** Latest MAS doesn't use any of these methods, instead it uses ready to use Universal ticket (check below for manual activation).
+- **Notes:**
+
+ - To be clear, we are **not modifying/patching any on-board system file** to get the ticket. Gatherosstate.exe is a part of ISO file and not available in C drive system files. System's slc.dll file is not touched, instead we use custom slc.dll only for a brief moment of ticket generation.
+ - Latest MAS doesn't use any of these methods, instead it uses ready to use Universal tickets (check below for manual activation info).
**Q:** Can Microsoft block this kind of activation?\
**A:** Not directly. They could only update Clipup to allow for a maximum activation period of 180 days. Not much besides that can be done on their part. The tickets are not sent to Microsoft at all, so they can't block them or take action directly.
