KMS38 Activation:
====================================================================================================
- This activation method activates Windows 10/11 and Windows Server (14393 and later builds),
until the year 2038.
- This activation method does not store any files on the system.
- Make sure the following things have been accounted for, before applying KMS38 Activation:
- Before the activation, if any KMS activator is installed, then make sure to uninstall it
completely.
- After KMS38 activation for the Windows Operating System has been achieved, if you want to
additionally, use the 180 Days KMS Activator for MS Office, then you must make sure that
it (the 180 Days KMS Activator for MS Office) is compatible with Windows KMS38 activation.
FYI, the following activators are compatible and can activate Office
without disrupting the Windows KMS38 activation.

- Any KMS Activator which is not compatible with KMS38, may overwrite the KMS38 activation for
Windows with its own 180 days activation, thereby destroying the KMS38 activation for Windows.
To prevent this accidental overwriting, you can apply KMS38 protection for Windows, check
the Extras folder for more details.
- Why is the script setting the specific KMS host to 127.0.0.2 (localhost)?
- By doing this, global KMS IP can not replace KMS38 activation but can be used with Office and
other Windows Editions.
- In case you don't like it, you can remove it with following codes, open CMD as admin and enter,
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f" /f
reg delete "HKU\S-1-5-20\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f" /f
- Check Troubleshoot Script in the "Extras" section if you are facing issues with activation.
- Check Extract OEM option in the "Extras" section if you want pre-activated Windows installation.

Note - X86-X64 and ARM64 architecture systems are supported.
- Any Evaluation version of Windows and Server (i.e. 'EVAL' LTSB/C) cannot be activated.
- KMS38 only supports Windows/server version 14393 (1607) and newer versions.
====================================================================================================
KMS38 Protection:
====================================================================================================
- By default, a KMS38 Activation is vulnerable to unintended overwriting/replacement and
neutralization by a 180-Day KMS Activator (non-KMS38 Activator).
If you are going to use KMS_VL_ALL or MAS's KMS activation for Office,
then you don't need to enable this protection.
However, with a few tricks you can ensure that no alternative KMS Activator can replace KMS38
Activation by accident or even on purpose. This script demonstrate how to do/undo that.
- Protect KMS38:
- How does KMS38 Protection work?
In the KMS activation method, the Windows Operating System first checks the KMS IP registered
as a specific KMS, and if that is not defined then it checks the Global KMS IP.
Another fact is that if LocalHost (127.0.0.2) is defined as KMS IP in the Windows 8.1 and 10 OS's
then Windows will not accept it as a valid KMS IP.
This script simply utilizes the above facts to protect the KMS38 activation from being
overwritten by any alternative 'normal' 180-Day KMS Activation.
Script steps-
- Set that Windows edition specific KMS IP to LocalHost (127.0.0.2),
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f\XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
where X is Windows edition Activation ID.
- Lock this Registry with Reg_takeownership snippet by @AveYo aka @BAU
pastebin.com/XTPt0JSC
- Done.
====================================================================================================
Switches for the Script (Separate Files Version):
====================================================================================================
- To run the script in unattended mode, use /u parameter.
"KMS38_Activation.cmd" /a
- To activate along with KMS38 protection (from being replaced by 180 days KMS activation),
run the script with /ap parameter
"KMS38_Activation.cmd" /ap
- To only generate GenuineTicket.xml, run the script with /g parameter
"KMS38_Activation.cmd" /g
- To uninstall the KMS38, run the script with /x parameter
"KMS38_Activation.cmd" /x

====================================================================================================
Manual Activation Process:
====================================================================================================
- Prerequisite:
For Windows 10 / Server x86-x64 system, you need following files (Get it from MAS separate files version)
ClipUp.exe
gatherosstate.exe
slc.dll
* ClipUp.exe is only required to activate Server Cor and Acor editions.
For Windows 10 ARM64 system, you need following files,
arm64_gatherosstate.exe
arm64_slc.dll
* Rename the ARM64 files to gatherosstate.exe and slc.dll respectively.
Make a folder named 'Files' in C drive, [C:\Files] and copy the required files in that folder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Make sure to properly and completely remove any previously-installed KMS activator if one already exists.
- Open CMD as Admin, and enter the following listed commands in the sequence in which they are given.
- Enter Generic Volume License Key (GVLK) (Replace '%key%' with the key from the above list)
with the following command:
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk %key%
- Set specific KMS host to 127.0.0.2 [Localhost] with the following command: (Run one by one)
- By doing this, the global KMS IP can not replace the KMS38 activation, and can then safely be used with MS Office
and other Windows Editions.
- It's optional.
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %G in ('"wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct where (Description like '%%KMSCLIENT%%' and Name like 'Windows%%' and PartialProductKey is not NULL) get ID /VALUE"') do (set app=%G)
wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct where ID='%app%' call ClearKeyManagementServiceMachine
wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct where ID='%app%' call ClearKeyManagementServicePort
wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct where ID='%app%' call SetKeyManagementServiceMachine MachineName="127.0.0.2"
wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct where ID='%app%' call SetKeyManagementServicePort 1688
- Make sure slc.dll and gatherosstate.exe files are located in the folder, "C:\Files" and enter
following command to generate GenuineTicket.xml file.
call "C:\Files\gatherosstate.exe"
- Now a GenuineTicket.xml file should be created in the folder "C:\Files\", copy and paste this file in the
folder named, "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTicket\"
- Now apply this ticket using the following commands in this sequence:
(In case of server cor and acor editions, copy the clipup.exe file to the folder "C:\Windows\System32\")
net stop ClipSVC
net start ClipSVC
- Check the expiry date of the activation with the following command:
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /xpr
- If the expiry date is not in the year 2038, then enter the following command:
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm-app 55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %G in ('"wmic path SoftwareLicensingProduct where (Description like '%%KMSCLIENT%%' and Name like 'Windows%%' and PartialProductKey is not NULL) get ID /VALUE"') do (set app=%G)
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm-sku %app%
- check expiry date again, now it should show activation until the year 2038.
- Done.
* Note - [clipup -v -o -altto ] method to apply the ticket was not suggested because
of the issues in case the username have spaces or non English characters.
