|
||
<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 supports Windows 10/11 only.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>This activation method does not store or modify any files in your
|
||
system.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>This activation method gives you permanent Windows activation for
|
||
your system hardware.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>All activations can be linked to a Microsoft account without any
|
||
issues.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Once the 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 a license is
|
||
found in their database, the system will automatically activate. This is
|
||
how official digital license works.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Any significant changes to 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, 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>The following is required for Windows to reactivate itself after
|
||
Windows reinstall:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>The internet is required. (Only at the time of
|
||
activation)</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>The system will auto-activate only if Retail (Consumer) media was
|
||
used for installing Windows.</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 the
|
||
generic Retail/OEM key corresponding to the Windows edition currently
|
||
running to activate if the user doesn’t want to use the script again.
|
||
(Those keys can be found below on this page)</p></li>

<h4>HWID 1 (Now defunct) (Summer of 2018 - Sep 26 2023)</h4>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>In the official upgrade process from Windows 7 to Windows 10, if
|
||
your copy of Windows 7 was activated, Microsoft provided a digital
|
||
license for Windows 10 without any cost.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>In the background, the upgrade process runs a file named
|
||
gatherosstate.exe (available in Windows 10/11 ISO) and it checks the
|
||
license of the current Windows installation. If it detected that it is
|
||
activated, it generates a valid GenuineTicket.xml
|
||
<strong>ticket</strong> which is sent to Microsoft and in return, MS
|
||
authorizes a license.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>So, if we can convince the gatherosstate.exe file that the
|
||
conditions are met for ticket generation by fooling it, it will generate
|
||
a valid ticket, which can be used to get the valid digital
|
||
license.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>How to convince gatherosstate.exe that Windows is
|
||
activated?<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 system’s
|
||
<code>C:\Windows\System32\slc.dll</code> file to gather the system’s
|
||
info. If we place a custom slc.dll file beside gatherosstate.exe, it can
|
||
send rubbish data to it, then it will simply accept it and generate a
|
||
valid ticket.<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
<strong>2-</strong> <a
|
||
href="https://github.com/asdcorp/GamersOsState">Modify</a> the
|
||
gatherosstate.exe file directly so that it doesn’t check the system’s
|
||
activation status at all and create a valid ticket.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>You can find the workings of this old method here: <a
|
||
href="https://github.com/massgravel/MAS-Legacy-Methods">MAS-Legacy-Methods</a>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Microsoft <a
|
||
href="https://devicepartner.microsoft.com/en-us/communications/comm-windows-ends-installation-path-for-free-windows-7-8-upgrade">made</a>
|
||
server-side changes to their licensing servers to block the free
|
||
upgrade, and with that server-side change, this method stopped working.
|
||
To be clear, only new activation requests coming from new hardware were
|
||
blocked, already established digital licenses with this method are
|
||
fine.</p></li>

class="section level4">
|
||
<h4>HWID 2 (Currently working) (03 Oct 2023 - Current)</h4>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>When Microsoft stopped the free upgrade, it started requiring a
|
||
genuine valid key in the ticket to authorize a digital license. In the
|
||
new method, we use only the Installation ID of a genuine, valid key.
|
||
This gets accepted by the server and allows us to get a digital license
|
||
for free. Check the manual activation process in below section to know
|
||
how to make working universal tickets.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<hr />
|
||
<p>Now a question, can Microsoft block the new requests or revoke
|
||
already established digital licenses?</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Revoking the licenses would be too extreme and will face many
|
||
complications and create a risk of voiding valid licenses. However, they
|
||
can very easily block the new activation requests for new hardware
|
||
coming from the methods mentioned here.</li>

<h2>How to remove HWID?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>You cannot remove it, just like you cannot remove an official
|
||
Windows digital license. 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 a
|
||
license is found in their database, the system will automatically
|
||
activate.</li>
|
||
<li>If you still want to remove the activation for any XYZ reason, you
|
||
can either use the change edition option in the extras section in MAS
|
||
<strong>or</strong> get the KMS key from <a
|
||
href="kms38.html#Supported_Products">here</a> and enter this in the
|
||
Windows settings activation page.</li>
