[HWID] Digital License Activation:
====================================================================================================
- This activation is supported for Windows 10/11 ONLY.
- This activation does not store any files in your system.
- This activation is a permanent activation for your system Hardware.
- On a system, this activation can be created for all the supported editions, and all can be
linked to Microsoft account without any issues.
- Once a system is activated, this activation cannot be removed. (Because the license is stored in
the Microsoft servers and not in the user's system.)
- Any significant changes in the Hardware (such as a motherboard) may deactivate the system.
It is possible to reactivate a system that was deactivated because of significant hardware
changes, IF your activation, was linked to an online Microsoft account.
- For activation to succeed, the Windows Update Service and internet connectivity must be enabled.
If you are trying to activate without these conditions being met, then the system will auto-
activate later when the conditions are met.
- Auto activation scenario after the Windows reinstall:
- The Internet is required. (Only at the time of activation)
- The system will auto-activate if Retail (Consumer) media was used for the installation.
- The system will NOT auto-activate if VL (Business) media was used for the installation.
In this case, the user will have to insert that windows edition Retail/OEM key (find keys below
in this page) to activate, if the user doesn't wish to activate again using this script.
- Possible reasons for activation failure:
- The Internet is not connected.
- Windows update service is disabled.
- Use of a VPN, and/or a privacy-based hosts file, firewall rules.
- Corrupt system files.
- Microsoft servers block the activation request from some countries such as Iran.
- Rarely, Microsoft's activation servers are the problem.
- Some machines are not able to generate GenuineTicket.xml file using gatherosstate.exe
The reason is unknown (to me). Please contact me if it happens to you.
* 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.

====================================================================================================
Downlevel and Lockbox Ticket for HWID:
====================================================================================================
Downlevel = downlevelGTkey
Lockbox = clientLockboxKey
Downlevel Method:
It creates downlevelGTkey ticket for activation with simplest process.
LockBox Method:
It creates clientLockboxKey ticket which better mimics genuine activation,
But requires more steps such as,
- Cleaning ClipSVC licences
- Deleting a volatile and protected registry key by taking ownership
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ClipSVC\Volatile\PersistedSystemState
- System may need a restart for succesfull activation
- Microsoft Account and Store Apps may need relogin-restart in the system

Note:
Microsoft accepts both types of tickets and that's unlikely to change.
If you are not sure what to choose then select default Downlevel Method.

Manual Activation Process:
====================================================================================================
- Prerequisite:
For Windows 10-11 x86-x64 system, you need following files, (Get it from MAS separate files version)
gatherosstate.exe
slc.dll
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 the Windows Update Service and internet are both enabled.
- Open a command prompt (run cmd.exe) as administrator, and enter following listed commands in the
the sequence in which they are given.
- Enter Retail/OEM Key, (Replace '%key%' with the key from the above list) with the following command:
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk %key%
- Make sure slc.dll and gatherosstate.exe files are located in the folder, "C:\Files" and enter
the following commands to generate GenuineTicket.xml file.
For x86-x64 systems,
pushd "C:\Files"
rundll32 "C:\Files\slc.dll",PatchGatherosstate
call "C:\Files\gatherosstatemodified.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:
net stop ClipSVC
net start ClipSVC
- Activate Windows with the following command:
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
- Check Activation Status with the following command:
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /xpr
- 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.
