+====================================================================================================
+ [HWID] Digital License Activation:
+====================================================================================================
+
+ - This activation is supported for Windows 10/11 ONLY.
+ - This activation does not store any files in your system.
+ - This activation is a permanent activation for your system Hardware.
+
+ - On a system, this activation can be created for all the supported editions, and all can be
+ linked to Microsoft account without any issues.
+
+ - Once a system is activated, this activation cannot be removed. (Because the license is stored in
+ the Microsoft servers and not in the user's system.)
+
+ - Any significant changes in the Hardware (such as a motherboard) may deactivate the system.
+ It is possible to reactivate a system that was deactivated because of significant hardware
+ changes, IF your activation, was linked to an online Microsoft account.
+
+ - For activation to succeed, the Windows Update Service and internet connectivity must be enabled.
+ If you are trying to activate without these conditions being met, then the system will auto-
+ activate later when the conditions are met.
+
+ - Auto activation scenario after the Windows reinstall:
+ - The Internet is required. (Only at the time of activation)
+ - The system will auto-activate if Retail (Consumer) media was used for the installation.
+ - The system will NOT auto-activate if VL (Business) media was used for the installation.
+ In this case, the user will have to insert that windows edition Retail/OEM key (find keys below
+ in this page) to activate, if the user doesn't wish to activate again using this script.
+
+ - Possible reasons for activation failure:
+ - The Internet is not connected.
+ - Windows update service is disabled.
+ - Use of a VPN, and/or a privacy-based hosts file, firewall rules.
+ - Corrupt system files.
+ - Microsoft servers block the activation request from some countries such as Iran.
+ - Rarely, Microsoft's activation servers are the problem.
+ - Some machines are not able to generate GenuineTicket.xml file using gatherosstate.exe
+ The reason is unknown (to me). Please contact me if it happens to you.
+
+ * Check Troubleshoot Script in the "Extras" section if you are facing issues with activation.
+
+ - Check Extract OEM option in the "Extras" section if you want pre-activated Windows installation.

+ Downlevel and Lockbox Ticket for HWID:
+====================================================================================================
+
+ Downlevel = downlevelGTkey
+ Lockbox = clientLockboxKey
+
+ Downlevel Method:
+ It creates downlevelGTkey ticket for activation with simplest process.
+
+ LockBox Method:
+ It creates clientLockboxKey ticket which better mimics genuine activation,
+ But requires more steps such as,
+ - Cleaning ClipSVC licences
+ - Deleting a volatile and protected registry key by taking ownership
+ HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ClipSVC\Volatile\PersistedSystemState
+ - System may need a restart for succesfull activation
+ - Microsoft Account and Store Apps may need relogin-restart in the system
+
+ Further read: https://windowsaddict.ml/readme-activation-faq.html
+
+ Note:
+ Microsoft accepts both types of tickets and that's unlikely to change.
+ If you are not sure what to choose then select default Downlevel Method.

+ Manual Activation Process:
+====================================================================================================
+
+ - Prerequisite:
+
+ For Windows 10-11 x86-x64 system, you need following files, (Get it from MAS separate files version)
+ gatherosstate.exe
+ slc.dll
+
+ For Windows 10 ARM64 system, you need following files,
+ arm64_gatherosstate.exe
+ arm64_slc.dll
+ * Rename the ARM64 files to gatherosstate.exe and slc.dll respectively.
+
+ Make a folder named 'Files' in C drive, [C:\Files] and copy the required files in that folder.
+
+ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ - Make sure the Windows Update Service and internet are both enabled.
+ - Open a command prompt (run cmd.exe) as administrator, and enter following listed commands in the
+ the sequence in which they are given.
+ - Enter Retail/OEM Key, (Replace '%key%' with the key from the above list) with the following command:
+
+cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk %key%
+
+ - Make sure slc.dll and gatherosstate.exe files are located in the folder, "C:\Files" and enter
+ the following commands to generate GenuineTicket.xml file.
+
+ For x86-x64 systems,
+
+pushd "C:\Files"
+rundll32 "C:\Files\slc.dll",PatchGatherosstate
+call "C:\Files\gatherosstatemodified.exe"
+
+ - Now a GenuineTicket.xml file should be created in the folder "C:\Files\", copy and paste this file in the
+ folder named, "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTicket\"
+
+ - Now apply this ticket using the following commands in this sequence:
+
+net stop ClipSVC
+net start ClipSVC
+
+ - Activate Windows with the following command:
+
+cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
+
+ - Check Activation Status with the following command:
+
+cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /xpr
+
+ - Done.
+
+ * Note - [clipup -v -o -altto ] method to apply the ticket was not suggested because
+ of the issues in case the username have spaces or non English characters.
