<h2>Overview</h2>
<hr />
<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
users 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 doesnt want to use the script again.
(Those keys can be found below on this page)</p></li>

<div id="hwid-1-now-defunct-summer-of-2018---sep-26-2023"
class="section level4">
<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 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, 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 doesnt check the systems
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>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="hwid-2-currently-working-03-oct-2023---current"
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 users 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>

<h3>2- From Scratch</h3>
<p>In this process, we will perform activation from scratch. This is
based on the Universal ticket method. Here, we will create identical
tickets that are used in the MAS HWID script and activate the system
with them.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Download the file from the official MS link and extract the .cab
file.<br />

<li><p>Find the file named
<code>filf8377e82b29deadca67bc4858ed3fba9</code> (Size: 330 KB) and
rename it to <code>gatherosstate.exe</code></p></li>
<li><p>Make a folder named <code>Files</code> in the C drive,
<code>C:\Files</code> and copy the <code>gatherosstate.exe</code> file
into that folder.</p></li>
<li><p>Make sure that the internet is enabled.</p></li>
<li><p>Open Windows PowerShell as administrator and enter the following
commands in the sequence in which they are given.</p></li>
<li><p>Enter the key (Replace <code>&lt;key&gt;</code> with the key from
the above list) with the following command:</p></li>
</ul>
<p><code>slmgr /ipk &lt;key&gt;</code></p>
<ul>
<li>Copy the below code all at once and enter it in PowerShell to modify
the <code>gatherosstate.exe</code> file. This code to modify the file is
based on <a
