<h1><strong>Licensing Server Issue</strong></h1>

<ul>
2023-02-21 15:57:42 +01:00
<li><p>In some cases, HWID activation may fail because system couldnt
connect to HWID licensing servers.</p></li>
<li><p>Activation script will inform you about this if that is the
case.</p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
2023-02-21 16:26:04 +01:00
<li><p><strong>Which method to choose for the fix?<br />
<br />
</strong>If you are located in China then choose <strong>Modify Host
2023-02-21 15:57:42 +01:00
File</strong> option.<br />
2023-02-21 16:26:04 +01:00
If you are not in China then first try <strong>Fix DNS</strong> option,
and if that doesnt work then try <strong>VPN</strong> method.</p></li>

<p>Around 8 Feb 2023 in China, MS licensing servers failed to properly
connect and it disrupted many Windows services including activation.
Solution to this issue is to simply hardcode another countrys MS
licensing servers IP in hosts file and Windows will use that for
activation. This method can also be used if for any reason DNS is
failing to resolve MS licensing servers.</p>
