<h2>Modify Host File</h2>
|
||
<p>Around 8 Feb 2023 in China, MS licensing servers failed to properly
|
||
connect and it disrupted many Windows services including activation.
|
||
Solution to this issue is to simply hardcode another country’s MS
|
||
licensing servers IP in hosts file and Windows will use that for
|
||
activation. This method can also be used if for any reason DNS is
|
||
failing to resolve MS licensing servers.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Open Powershell or Terminal as admin (don’t open CMD).</p></li>
|

<li><p>Copy paste below lines and press enter,</p></li>
