In some cases, HWID activation may fail because system couldn’t
+connect to HWID licensing servers.
+
Activation script will inform you about this if that is the
+case.
+
This may happen mostly either due to DNS or Issues in MS
+licensing servers itself or Firewall rules in the system. Below you can
+find listed fixes for it.
+
Which method to choose for the fix?
+
+
+
If you are located in China then choose Modify Host
+File option.
+
+
If you are not in China then first try Fix DNS
+option, and if that doesn’t work then try VPN
+method.
