<h1>KMS38 Activation</h1>
<hr />
<div id="overview" class="section level2">
<h2>Overview</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>How to use it? Please find the instructions <a
href="index.html#Download__How_to_use_it">here</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>This activation method activates Windows 10/11 and Windows Server
(14393 and later builds), until January 19, 2038, 03:14:07 UTC.</p></li>
<li><p>This activation method does not store any files on the
system.</p></li>
<li><p>This activation method works offline.</p></li>
<li><p>Unlike HWID and Online KMS activation options, KMS38 does not
match with any official activation method.</p></li>
</ul>
<hr />
</div>
<div id="how-does-it-work" class="section level2">
<h2>How does it work?</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>In a genuine <a
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/tn-archive/ee939272(v=technet.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN#kms-overview">KMS</a>
activation environment, activation lasts a maximum of up to 180 days.
This is done using a valid license and server setup.</p></li>
<li><p>In the Windows major upgrade process, the system uses
<code>gatherosstate.exe</code> to carry over the remaining KMS
activation period. It does this by creating a ticket that can be used
offline.</p></li>
<li><p>The trick is that we can fool the <code>gatherosstate.exe</code>
about the remaining KMS activation period and manually put the desired
period maximum up to January 19, 2038, 03:14:07 UTC.</p></li>
<li><p>Why is it limited to the year 2038?<br />
Its related to the <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem">Y2K38 problem</a>
as this date (19 January 2038 03:14:07 UTC) is the maximum date we can
give to <code>gatherosstate.exe</code> without it looping back to the
year 1970.</p></li>
<li><p>How can we convince the gatherosstate.exe?<br />
There are two methods for it.<br />
<br />
<strong>1-</strong> Place a <a
href="https://github.com/asdcorp/Integrated_Patcher_3">custom
slc.dll</a> file beside gatherosstate.exe:<br />
gatherosstate.exe uses the systems
<code>C:\Windows\System32\slc.dll</code> file to gather the systems
info. If we place a custom slc.dll file beside gatherosstate.exe which
can send the rubbish data to it, then it will simply accept it and
generate a valid ticket allowing activation up to January 19, 2038,
03:14:07 UTC.<br />
<br />
<strong>2-</strong> <a
href="https://github.com/asdcorp/GamersOsState">Modify</a> the
gatherosstate.exe file itself so that it doesnt check the systems
activation status and we can put the activation period as we
wish.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To be clear, we are <strong>not modifying/patching any on-board
system file</strong> to get the ticket. Gatherosstate.exe is a part of
the ISO file and not available in C drive system files. The systems
slc.dll file is not touched; Instead, we use custom slc.dll only for a
brief moment of ticket generation.</li>
<li>Latest MAS doesnt use any of these methods; Instead, it uses
ready-to-use Universal tickets (check below for manual activation
info).</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Q:</strong> Can Microsoft block this kind of
activation?<br />
<strong>A:</strong> Not directly. They could only update Clipup to allow
for a maximum activation period of 180 days. Not much besides that can
be done on their part. The tickets are not sent to Microsoft at all, so
they cant block them or take action directly.</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Windows Server Cor/Acor (No GUI) editions dont have the

<li><p>To KMS38 activate it, you need to download the

link</a>.<br />

<code>KMS38_Activation.cmd</code></p></li>

<h2>KMS38 Protection</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>KMS38 Activation is vulnerable to unintended replacement by a
180-Day KMS Activator.</p></li>
<li><p>From MAS 1.7, the script will enable KMS38 protection by
default.</p></li>
<li><p>If you are going to use <a
href="(https://github.com/abbodi1406/KMS_VL_ALL_AIO)">KMS_VL_ALL</a> by
abbodi1406 or <a href="index.html">MAS</a> (Online KMS option) for
<strong>Office activation</strong>, then you can choose to remove this
protection.</p></li>
<li><p>Below is the explanation for how the script protect
KMS38.</p></li>
<li><p>In the KMS activation method, Windows 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 (IP range
127.0.0.0/8) is defined as the KMS IP in Windows 8 and later OS, 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, and at
the same time, that KMS activator can be used for Office
activation.</p></li>
<li><p>Script steps-</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Set the Windows edition-specific KMS IP to Localhost
(127.0.0.2)</p></li>
<li><p>Protect the below Registry from edit and delete</p></li>
