<h2>Overview</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>How to use it? Please find the instructions <a
|
||
href="https://massgrave.dev">here</a>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>This activation is supported for Windows 10/11 only.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>This activation does not store any files in your system.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>This activation is a permanent activation for your system
|
||
Hardware.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>On a system, this activation can be created for all the supported
|
||
editions, and all can be linked to Microsoft account without any
|
||
issues.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>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. MS checks the hardware ID (HWID) and if license is found
|
||
in their database, system will automatically activate.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>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.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>For activation to succeed, the 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.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Auto activation scenario after the Windows re-install:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>The Internet is required. (Only at the time of
|
||
activation)</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>The system will auto-activate if Retail (Consumer) media was used
|
||
for the installation.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>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.</p></li>

<div id="how-does-it-work" class="section level2">
|
||
<h2>How does it work?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>In the official upgrade process from Windows 7 to Windows 10,
|
||
Microsoft provides a HWID (digital license) activation for Windows 10
|
||
without any cost.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>In background, the upgrade process runs a file names
|
||
<code>gatherosstate.exe</code> and it checks the license of current
|
||
Windows and if found activated, it generates a valid GenuineTicket.xml
|
||
which is sent to Microsoft and in return, MS authorize a
|
||
license.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>So if we just convince the <code>gatherosstate.exe</code> file
|
||
that system is activated by fooling it, it will generate a valid ticket,
|
||
which can be used to get the valid HWID (Digital license). The script
|
||
here does exactly that to get the activation for free without any
|
||
upgrade process.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>Now question, can Microsoft differentiate counterfeit tickets and
|
||
block the license?</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Umm.. Yes, but actually no. The signature type can (sort of) be used
|
||
to determine what utility is responsible for the ticket. There is no way
|
||
(in a standard environment) for a non-activated Windows 10 installation
|
||
to generate a ticket. In the normal process, gatherosstate will ask SLC
|
||
for the entire ticket, but when this fails it will generate and sign it
|
||
by itself, creating a “downlevelGTkey” signature. For every activated
|
||
system, a generated ticket will be returned by SLC and thus will have a
|
||
“clientLockboxKey” signature. Put simply, the signature (should) always
|
||
be a “clientLockboxKey” one in case of an activated system, but in this
|
||
case it isn’t. Microsoft will not take action against it, because of the
|
||
risk of voiding valid licenses. Besides, they never really cared for
|
||
consumer piracy; That’s not where they get the most money from.</li>

with simplest process.</p></li>

<li><p>LockBox Method: It creates clientLockboxKey ticket which better

mimics genuine activation, But requires more steps such as,</p>

Hence by default script will choose Downlevel method and won’t show you

the option to select Lockbox method. However if you want, you can apply
|

it through command line switches.</p></li>
