<h1>KMS38 Activation</h1>
<hr />
<div id="overview" class="section level2">
<h2>Overview</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>How to use it? Please find the instructions <a
href="https://massgrave.dev">here</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>This activation method activates Windows 10/11 and Windows Server
(14393 and later builds), until 19 january 2038 03:14:07 UTC.</p></li>
<li><p>This activation method does not store any files on the
system.</p></li>
<li><p>This activation method works offline.</p></li>
<li><p>Unlike HWID and Online KMS activation option, KMS38 does not
match with any official activation method.</p></li>
<li><p>Make sure the following things have been accounted for, before
applying KMS38 Activation:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Before the activation, if any KMS activator is installed, then
make sure to uninstall it completely.</p></li>
<li><p>After KMS38 activation has been achieved, if you want to use the
180 Days KMS Activator for MS Office, then you must make sure that it
(the 180 Days KMS Activator for MS Office) is compatible with Windows
KMS38 activation. FYI, the following activators are compatible and can
activate Office without disrupting the Windows KMS38 activation.</p>
<p><a
href="(https://github.com/abbodi1406/KMS_VL_ALL_AIO)">KMS_VL_ALL</a> by
abbodi1406</p>
<p><a href="https://massgrave.dev">MAS</a> (Online KMS option)</p></li>
</ul></li>
<li><p>Any KMS Activator which is not compatible with KMS38, may
overwrite the KMS38 activation for Windows with its own 180 days
activation, thereby destroying the KMS38 activation for Windows. To
prevent this accidental overwriting, you can select KMS38 protection
option.</p></li>
</ul>
<hr />
</div>
<div id="how-does-it-work" class="section level2">
<h2>How does it work?</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>In a genuine <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/tn-archive/ee939272(v=technet.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN#kms-overview">KMS</a>
activation environment, activation last maximum up-to 180 days. This is
done using a valid license and server setup.</p></li>
<li><p>However in the Windows major upgrade process, system uses
<code>gatherosstate.exe</code> to carry over the remaining KMS
activation period. It does it by creating a ticket which can be used
offline.</p></li>
<li><p>The trick is that we can fool the <code>gatherosstate.exe</code>
about the remaining KMS activation period and manually put the desired
period maximum up-to 19 january 2038 03:14:07 UTC.</p></li>
<li><p>Why it’s limited to year 2038?<br />
It’s related to the <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Y2K38 problem</a>
as this date (19 january 2038 03:14:07 UTC) is the maximum date we can
give to <code>gatherosstate.exe</code> without it looping back to year
1970.</p></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> Can Microsoft block this kind of
activation?<br />
<strong>A:</strong> Not directly. They could only update Clipup to allow
for a maximum activation period of 180 days. Not much beside that can be
done on their part. The tickets are not sent to Microsoft at all, so
they can’t block them or take action directly.</p>

<h2>KMS38 Protection</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>By default, KMS38 Activation is vulnerable to unintended
replacement by a 180-Day KMS Activator.</p></li>
<li><p>If you are going to use <a
href="(https://github.com/abbodi1406/KMS_VL_ALL_AIO)">KMS_VL_ALL</a> by
abbodi1406 or <a href="https://massgrave.dev">MAS</a> (Online KMS
option) for <strong>Office activation</strong>, then you don’t need to
enable this protection.</p></li>
<li><p>However, with a few tricks you can ensure that no alternative KMS
Activator can replace KMS38 Activation by accident or even on purpose.
below is the explanation for how to do/undo that.</p></li>
<li><p>In the KMS activation method, the Windows first checks the KMS IP
registered as a specific KMS, and if that is not defined then it checks
the Global KMS IP. Another fact is that if Localhost (IP range
127.0.0.0/8) is defined as KMS IP in the Windows 8 and later OS’s then
Windows will not accept it as a valid KMS IP. This script simply
utilizes the above facts to protect the KMS38 activation from being
overwritten by any alternative ‘normal’ 180-Day KMS Activation and at
the same time that KMS activator can be used for Office
activation.</p></li>
<li><p>Script steps-</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Set the Windows edition specific KMS IP to Localhost
(127.0.0.2)</p></li>
<li><p>Lock the below Registry with <a
href="https://github.com/AveYo/LeanAndMean">reg_own</a> snippet by
AveYo</p></li>
<li><p>Done.</p></li>
</ul></li>

<h2>Command line Switches</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>This is applicable only in separate files version.</p></li>
<li><p>If any parameter is used then script will automatically run in
unattended mode.</p></li>
<li><p>To activate,</p>
<p><code>"KMS38_Activation.cmd" /a</code></p></li>
<li><p>To activate along with KMS38 protection (from being replaced by
180 days KMS activation),</p>

<p><code>"KMS38_Activation.cmd" /x</code></p></li>
</ul>
<hr />
</div>
<div id="file-details" class="section level2">
<h2>File Details</h2>
<p>Besides plain batch script, KMS38 activation requires the use of
official gatherosstate.exe (x86) file.</p>
<pre><code> File: gatherosstate.exe
SHA-1: FABB5A0FC1E6A372219711152291339AF36ED0B5 </code></pre>
<p>It’s taken from <a
href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=526740">Windows 10
Version 1607 ADK</a> (Section: User State Migration Tool)</p>
<p><strong>Further</strong>, in case of Windows Server Core editions,
system doesn’t have <code>clipup.exe</code> file. So to activate it, MAS
separate files version contains the below file. (It’s not included in
MAS AIO)</p>
<pre><code> File: ClipUp.exe
SHA-1: 48D928B1BEC25A56FE896C430C2C034B7866AA7A</code></pre>
<p>It’s taken from <a

x64 ISO</a></p>

<li><p>Make a folder named <code>Files</code> in C drive,
<code>C:\Files</code> and copy the <code>gatherosstate.exe</code> file
