<li>Fixed an issue where a fake serial pop-up may appear. The script

|
will also show the info to run the activation option again without using
|
||||||
|
the reset option.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Fixed an issue where Powershell code to launch IAS may not work due
|
||||||
|
to GitHub block in some regions. It will use the new <a
|
||||||
|
href="https://bitbucket.org/WindowsAddict/idm-activation-script/">BitBucket</a>
|
||||||
|
repo as a fallback link.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>IDM registry scanning and locking code is now written in
|
||||||
|
Powershell.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The script update checker code is added to the script.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The script will now disable quick edit mode temporarily because
|
||||||
|
users often click inside the script window and it pauses the
|
||||||
|
script.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>The script will back up the CLSISD registry keys before performing
|
||||||
|
operations on them.</li>
|
||||||

## How does it work?

|

- IDM stores the data related to trial and activation in across various registry keys. Some of these keys are locked to protect them from tampering and data is stored in a pattern to track the fake serial issue and the remaining trial days. To activate it, script here simply generate those registry keys by triggering a few downloads in IDM and identifies those registry keys and locks them so IDM can't edit and view. That way IDM cannot show the warning that it's activated with a fake serial key.

v0.8
|
#### v0.9
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Fixed an issue where the script can not activate and reset IDM in non-admin user accounts.
|
||||||
|
- Fixed an issue where the script incorrectly shows that IDM is activated.
|
||||||
|
- Fixed an issue where a fake serial pop-up may appear. The script will also show the info to run the activation option again without using the reset option.
|
||||||
|
- Fixed an issue where Powershell code to launch IAS may not work due to GitHub block in some regions. It will use the new [BitBucket](https://bitbucket.org/WindowsAddict/idm-activation-script/) repo as a fallback link.
|
||||||
|
- IDM registry scanning and locking code is now written in Powershell.
|
||||||
|
- The script update checker code is added to the script.
|
||||||
|
- The script will now disable quick edit mode temporarily because users often click inside the script window and it pauses the script.
|
||||||
|
- The script will back up the CLSISD registry keys before performing operations on them.
|
||||||
|
- Many error checks are added to better identify the issues.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
