<h1>$OEM$ Folders</h1>
<p>(Windows Pre-Activation)</p>
<hr />
<div id="overview" class="section level2">
<h2>Overview</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>To create a pre-activated Windows installation .iso, do the
following:</p></li>
<li><p>Extract the <code>$OEM$</code> folder to the desktop using the
MAS script.</p></li>
<li><p>Copy the <code>$OEM$</code> folder to the <code>sources</code>
folder in the Windows installation media (.iso or USB).</p></li>
<li><p>The directory will appear like this: <code>\sources\$OEM$</code>
in your altered .iso or on your bootable USB drive.</p></li>
<li><p>Now use this .iso or bootable USB drive to install Windows, it
will either already be activated (KMS38) as soon as it boots or will
self-activate (HWID or Online KMS) at the first internet
contact.</p></li>
<li><p>You can check <a href="index.html">here</a> for activation method
details and select the activation method as per your
requirement.</p></li>
</ul>
<hr />
</div>
<div id="edit-iso-file" class="section level2">
<h2>Edit ISO File</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>As stated above, you can copy the <code>$OEM$</code> folder to
your bootable USB so you don’t have to edit the ISO file. However, if
you need to, then follow the steps below.</p></li>
<li><p>Download <a href="https://www.anyburn.com/anyburn.zip">AnyBurn
Free Portable</a> and extract this zip file</p></li>
<li><p>Run the file named
<code>AnyBurn(64-bit)\AnyBurn.exe</code></p></li>
<li><p>Select the option named <code>Edit image file</code></p></li>
<li><p>Follow the on-screen instructions and add the <code>$OEM$</code>
folder to the <code>sources</code> folder so that the directory will
appear like this: <code>\sources\$OEM$</code></p></li>
<li><p>Save the ISO, that’s it.</p></li>
</ul>
<hr />
</div>
<div id="limitations" class="section level2">
<h2>Limitations</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>On Windows 8 and later, <strong>running setupcomplete.cmd is
disabled</strong> if the default installed key for the edition is OEM
Channel.<br />
For example - Preactivation won’t work for Windows 10 Iot Enterprise
LTSC because installed key is of the OEM channel.</p></li>
<li><p>The <strong>solution</strong> for this issue is to use (Non-Iot)
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC ISO, and the HWID method in preactivation
will use Iot LTSC key to change the edition.</p></li>
</ul>
<hr />
</div>
<div id="kms38---server-coracor" class="section level2">
<h2>KMS38 - Server Cor/Acor</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>Windows Server Cor/Acor (No GUI) editions don’t have the
<code>clipup.exe</code> file.</p></li>
<li><p>To KMS38 activate it, you need to download the missing
<code>ClipUp.exe</code> file from <a href="files\ClipUp.zip">this
link</a>.<br />
<br />
<code>File: ClipUp.exe</code><br />
<code>SHA-256: 0d6e9f6bbd0321eda149658d96040cb4f79e0bd93ba60061f25b28fecbf4d4ef</code><br />
<br />
This file has digital signatures that can be verified. You can also get
this file from the official <a
href="https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/F/16FA20E6-4662-482A-920B-1A45CF5AAE3C/14393.0.160715-1616.RS1_RELEASE_SERVER_EVAL_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO">Windows
Server 2016 x64 RTM ISO</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>Put the <code>ClipUp.exe</code> beside the KMS38 Activation
script. That would be either <code>MAS_AIO.cmd</code> or
<code>KMS38_Activation.cmd</code></p></li>
<li><p>The activation script will check <code>ClipUp.exe</code> in the
current folder (from where script is running) and will use it
accordingly.</p></li>
