+# **Fix Issues In Connecting To Licensing Servers**
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+-   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.
+
+-   If you are facing issues then reach out to us on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/gjJEfq7ux8).
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## Fix DNS
+
+-   Download the `Fix_DNS.zip` file from [here](http://www.box.com/index.php?rm=box_download_shared_file&shared_name=4c66hw8ezuijy5j0trwczy860sf825i7&file_id=f_1146300205040).
+
+-   Extract the zip file and right click on `Fix_DNS.cmd` file and run it as admin.
+
+-   Follow onscreen instructions.
+
+-   Once done, try HWID Activation.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## VPN
+
+-   You can install either of the below VPN to fix issue if script is showing failed to connect licensing servers.
+
+-   Cloudflare WARP - <https://1.1.1.1/>
+
+-   Psiphon - <https://psiphon.ca/>
+
+-   Once done, try HWID Activation.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+## Modify Host File
+
+-   Open Powershell or Terminal as admin (don't open CMD).
+
+-   Copy paste below lines and press enter,
+
+```{=html}
+<!-- -->
+```
+    $filePath = "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"
+
+    Set-ItemProperty -Path $filePath -Name IsReadOnly -Value $false
+
+    Set-Content -Path $filePath -Value (Get-Content $filePath | ForEach-Object { $_ -replace "124.108.22.138 licensing.mp.microsoft.com", "" })
+
+    Add-Content -Path $filePath -Value "124.108.22.138 licensing.mp.microsoft.com"
+
+    Set-ItemProperty -Path $filePath -Name IsReadOnly -Value $true
+
+-   Done. Now try HWID Activation.
+
+To restore it, run below commands.
+
+    $filePath = "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"
+
+    Set-ItemProperty -Path $filePath -Name IsReadOnly -Value $false
+
+    Set-Content -Path $filePath -Value (Get-Content $filePath | ForEach-Object { $_ -replace "124.108.22.138 licensing.mp.microsoft.com", "" })
+
+    Set-ItemProperty -Path $filePath -Name IsReadOnly -Value $true
