# \$OEM\$ Folders
|
|
|
|
(Windows Pre-Activation)
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
- To create a pre-activated Windows installation .iso, do the following things:
|
|
|
|
- Extract `$OEM$` folder to the desktop using the MAS script.
|
|
|
|
- Copy the `$OEM$` folder to the `sources` folder in the Windows installation media (.iso or USB).
|
|
|
|
- The directory will appear like this: `\sources\$OEM$` in your altered .iso or on your bootable USB drive.
|
|
|
|
- Now use this .iso or bootable USB drive to install Windows and 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.
|
|
|
|
- You can check [here](index.html) about activation method details and select the activation method as per your requirement.
|
|
|
|
- On Windows 8 and later, running setupcomplete.cmd is disabled if the default installed key for the edition is OEM Channel. For example - Preactivation won't work for Windows 10 Iot Enterprise because installed key is of OEM channel.

## KMS38 - Server Cor/Acor
|
|
|
|
- Windows Server Cor/Acor (No GUI) editions don't have `clipup.exe` file.
|
|
|
|
- To KMS38 activate it, you need to download `ClipUp.exe` file from [this link](https://www.box.com/index.php?rm=box_download_shared_file&shared_name=qrmkewit9ty6ah0qzk0vncyyrwo8hei9&file_id=f_747809716860).\

`File: ClipUp.exe`\
|
|
`SHA-256: 0d6e9f6bbd0321eda149658d96040cb4f79e0bd93ba60061f25b28fecbf4d4ef`\

This file has digital signatures which can be verified. You can also get this file from official [Windows Server 2016 x64 RTM ISO](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).
|
|
|
|
- Put the `ClipUp.exe` beside the KMS38 Activation script. That would be either `MAS_AIO.cmd` or `KMS38_Activation.cmd`
|
|
|
|
- Activation script will check `ClipUp.exe` in the current folder (from where script is running) and will use it accordingly.

|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
## Online KMS
|
|
|
|
- When using Online KMS activation, Windows and Office both will be activated when connected to the internet for the first time. This option uses a renewal task for lifetime activation.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|

|
## HWID + Online KMS
