+Info
+
+
+Activation
+-
+
- This script applies registry lock method to activate Internet +download manager (IDM). +
- This method requires Internet at the time of activation. +
- IDM updates can be installed directly without having to activate +again. +
- After the activation, if in some case, the IDM starts to show +activation nag screen, then just run the activation option again. +
+
+Reset IDM Activation / Trial
+-
+
- Internet download manager provides 30 days trial period, you can use +this script to reset this Activation / Trial period whenever you +want. +
- This option also can be used to restore status if in case the IDM +reports fake serial key and other similar errors. +
+

+-
+
- Project is supported for Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11 and their Server +equivalent. +
- Powershell method to run IAS is supported on Windows 8 and +higher. +
+
+
+Advanced Info
+-
+
- To add a custom name in IDM license info, edit the line number 21 in +the script file. +
- For activation in unattended mode, run the script with
+
/actparameter.
+ - For reset in unattended mode, run the script with
/res+parameter.
+ - To enable silent mode with above two methods, run the script with
+
/sparameter.
+
+
+
+
+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 can not show the warning that it’s activated with a +fake serial key. +
+
