<ul>
<li>Windows Server Cor/Acor (No GUI) editions don't have the <code>clipup.exe</code> file.</li>
<li>To KMS38 activate it, you need to download the missing <code>ClipUp.exe</code> file from <ahref="/assets/files/ClipUp-35a116e9ec8a086319a5a83e176f6156.zip"target="_blank">this link</a>.<br>

<li>Put the <code>ClipUp.exe</code> beside the KMS38 Activation script. That would be either <code>MAS_AIO.cmd</code> or <code>KMS38_Activation.cmd</code></li>
<li>The activation script will check <code>ClipUp.exe</code> in the current folder (from where script is running) and will use it accordingly.</li>
