Info

Activation

(*Currently not working)

  • After the activation, if in some cases, IDM starts to show an -activation nag screen, then just run the activation option again without -using the reset option.

How does it work?

-
    -
  • IDM stores the data related to trial and activation 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, the script here simply -generates those registry keys by triggering a few downloads in IDM, -identifies those registry keys, and locks them so IDM can’t edit and -view them. That way IDM cannot show the warning that it’s activated with -a fake serial key.

    • -
-
-
-

v1.1

-
    -
  • IDM update 6.42b3 has started showing fake serial popups with IAS -activation, due to this we have removed the activation option and -replaced it with the Freeze trial option to lock the 30-day trial period -for the lifetime.

  • Now the script will disable quick-edit in CMD windows using -Powershell instead of editing registry, thanks to @abbodi1406 for the code and @awuctl for the idea.
    • -
