Fix Issues With Licensing Servers

  • In some cases, HWID activation may fail because system couldn’t connect to HWID licensing servers.

  • Activation script will inform you about this if that is the case.

  • 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.

  • Which method to choose for the fix?

    • If you are located in China then choose Modify Host File option.
    • If you are not in China then first try Fix DNS option, and if that doesn’t work then try VPN method.

  • If you are facing issues then reach out to us on our Discord.

Fix DNS

  • Download the Fix_DNS.zip file from here.

  • Extract the zip file and right click on Fix_DNS.cmd file and run it as admin.

Set-Content -Path $filePath -Value (Get-Content $filePath | ForEach-Object { $_ -replace "124.108.22.138 licensing.mp.microsoft.com", "" })

Add-Content -Path $filePath -Value "124.108.22.138 licensing.mp.microsoft.com"
