This method works on all editions and versions of Windows 10 including LTSB2015 and older versions
which were known to return a wrong SkuId for some editions.
- Added HWID activation for Windows 10 1903 IoTEnterprise. Thanks to @mspaintmsi for notifying.
- Removed the ClipSVC tokens rebuilding part from the scripts, @sebus tests showed that it doesn't help in
activating another machines when same backup is used in restoring process.
- gatherosstate.exe is changed to 14393 version, size is quite small. Also HWID/KMS38 scripts now shares
same "Files" folder files.
- KMS38 protection script updated with latest changes made by @BAU in the reg_takeownership.bat
pastebin.com/XTPt0JSC
Online KMS:
- Now top 3 KMS servers list is randomized in the script so that one server doesn't get all the load. Thanks to
@abbodi1406 for the help.
- Script base is updated to the latest KMS_VL_ALL v34, Thanks to @abbodi1406
https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/kms_vl_all-smart-activation-script.79535/
Important change for the online KMS script part,
Enhanced sppsvc/osppsvc detection to avoid script hang if the services are not functional
- KMS server list is updated.
- Now KMS servers are tested with powershell TcpClient instead of test-netconnection, to speed-up the process.
Thanks to @abbodi1406 for the idea.
- Now it's $OEM$ setupcomplete.cmd have choices to select which renewal mode you want.
@ALL:
- Switched to vbs from powershell for the script admin elevation to speed-up the process on low end systems.
Thanks to @AveYo aka @BAU for self-elevate passing args and preventing loop (using temporary vbs file) and (using wsf).
- Updated to Compressed 2 TXT 5.3 script by @AveYo aka @BAU https://github.com/AveYo/Compressed2TXT

<div id="section-8" class="section level2">
<h2>0.9</h2>
<pre><code> HWID and KMS38
- Modified file "gatherosstateLTSB15.exe" (For HWID) has been converted to text using
'Compressed 2 txt' by AveYo https://github.com/AveYo/Compressed2TXT to avoid
the possible AV's detection. This file will be extracted in only LTSB 2015 Activation.
- Added ClipSVC tokens Rebuilding (by default) (Thanks to @s1ave77 for the idea)
(To solve the issue when system image is used on different machines)
- Added service checks for ClipSVC, wlidsvc (Not in KMS38), and sppsvc (Thanks to @s1ave77 for the idea)
- Added reattempts for ticket generation and activation.
- Added new keys for 1903 server releases (For KMS38)
- KMS38 script can now unlock the 180 days KMS lock without using full Rearm and Restart.
Now it'll apply the SKU-APP ID rearm if required. (Idea taken from the @Ratiborus Tools)
- Added a separate KMS38 protection script to protect the KMS38 activation from being overrun by
180 days KMS Activators by accident or even on purpose.
(Thanks to @AveYo aka @BAU for the Reg_takeownership snippet pastebin.com/XTPt0JSC)
Online KMS
- Renewal task function has been removed to avoid the possible AV's detection.
Because AV's suspect the background task but same codes can be run just fine in the foreground.
In replacement I've added the Desktop context menu entry for the script for easy manual renewal in case if registered
server goes down, and just FYI added server in the script are running from approx 3 years without problems
and user would need to run the script for renewal after 180 days when the registered server goes down.
- Updated the script to KMS_VL_ALL 32 beta https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/kms_vl_all-smart-activation-script.79535/
(Imp - Now script will retry to activate in case of failed activation, it increases it's reliability very much)
(Thanks to @abbodi1406 for the update)
- Now KMS servers will be tested on the Port 1688 with powershell instead of ping for more accuracy.
(Thanks to @RPO for the codes)
- Added appropriate colors in activation output.
ALL
- Added powershell codes for the admin auto elevation with parameters capability.
(Thanks to @AveYo aka @BAU for the codes)
- Added /u parameter for the unattended run instead of changing the value in script.
- For those scripts which may need to provide the long output, I've added powershell snippet
to keep the window height fixed with long buffer size capability.
(Thanks to @dbenham for the codes https://stackoverflow.com/a/13351373)
- Updated the ReadMe's with the Activation info regarding How it works? and Is it safe to use? and possible issues users might face.
- Other minor improvements.
MAS_AIO
- Made an AIO script with the help from av friendly codes,

<h2>0.8</h2>
<pre><code>- HWID and KMS38 activation now use the new slc.dll method which requires no registry and temp file.
Thanks to @sponpa for the new ideas and codes https://tinyurl.com/y24dbdmw
and Thanks to @leitek8 for the further improvements http://tinyurl.com/y2a98rlk
Users can easily compile the slc.dll file. Thanks to @leitek8 for providing the instructions.
- HWID and KMS38 activation now use the Windows 10 17134 ADK gatherosstate.exe file.Process is quite fast now. Thanks to @sponpa for the idea.
For LTSB 2015, script uses the mod gatherosstate.exe file from the @angelkyo open source tool https://gitlab.com/angelkyo/w10-digitallicense
- Added following editions for the KMS38 activation.
EnterpriseG
EnterpriseGN
ServerCloudStorage [Server 2016]
ServerDatacenter [Server 2016 & 2019]
ServerDatacenterCor [Server 2016 & 2019]
ServerSolution [Server 2016 & 2019]
ServerSolutionCor [Server 2016 & 2019]
ServerStandard [Server 2016 & 2019]
ServerStandardCor [Server 2016 & 2019]
ServerDatacenterACor [Server Version 1709 & 1803 & 1809]
ServerStandardACor [Server Version 1709 & 1803 & 1809]
- To activate server *cor and *acor editions with KMS38, added the required clipup.exe file from the server 2016 iso in the Files folder.
- In KMS38, instead of clearing global KMS IP, script now set specific KMS host IP to the localhost 127.0.0.2
The advantage of doing this is that, It helps KMS38 remain untouched from the global KMS IP but other products can still use the global IP.
Thanks to @abbodi1406 for the help.
- Digital license script now hide the Activation cmd error output. (Never show any useful info)
- Scripts now check the following problematic characters in the File Path Name. Thanks to @Jeb for the code and @abbodi1406 for the help.

- Online KMS and clear KMS cache Script are now updated, Thanks to @abbodi1406 for the update https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1511883

<pre><code>To further make sure that script is clean from av's, following changes were made,
- Multipurpose big scripts are not friendly to the AV's, so i've separated all the scripts.
- Now files are not converted to the text, they are added as they are. (because av's 'may' find text to file suspicious)
- Now scripts asks users to manually run the file as administrator .
- Made sure that all custom vbs use have been removed.
(Above changes reduced the user friendliness of the script, but my main priority in maintaining this fork is to
create activators which are AV friendly, and these steps were required to achieve that.)
Some more changes -
- Digital license script now checks for Internet and update service, and changes the update service status if required
and after the activation it put it back as it were previously.
- Changed the Mod gatherosstate files with the files from hwid.kms38.gen.mk6.exe v55.01 https://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/312871--/
by @s1ave77.
(p.s. To adopt the new files of v60.01, i should wait atleast a month to know the av's stable detection rate)
- KMS38 scripts now show a prompt to the users before applying rearm and restart.
- Errors are highlighted in red color in Digital license and KMS38 scripts.
- Removed the options, Insert Windows 10 GVLK and Change Windows 10 Edition (GVLK) (Not very useful)
- Removed the single file fork of C2R-Retail Office To VL, instead added the link to original tool in the read me.
- Online KMS script is updated to the v29 of Standalone Activate-Local.cmd https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1501441 by @abbodi1406
- Added a script in Online KMS which leaves no remnants in the system after the activation.
- Online KMS Scripts now ping 3 servers (download.windowsupdate.com , Bing.com , baidu.com) to check internet connection to ensure
scripts works fine in all parts of the world.
- Each script can be run in unattended mode, also have many more new switches in the scripts. (Use read me to know them)
- Many improvements in every script.

<pre><code>- Abbodi1406 fixed an imp bug in his KMS_VL_ALL Script regarding KMS38, I copied those fix in online KMS script. It also fixes the error (only cosmetic, not imp) in last run result of scheduled task when KMS38 is applied. Now there is no error remains in last run result of scheduled task.
(Reminder - This online kms script is a fork of abbodi1406's Standalone-Activate-Local.cmd, it was adjusted to work with multi kms server's and renewal task, preactivation, etc. see @credits)</code></pre>
