<h2>Info</h2>
<div id="activation" class="section level4">
<h4>Activation</h4>
<ul>
<li>This script applies registry lock method to activate Internet
download manager (IDM).</li>
<li>This method requires Internet at the time of activation.</li>
<li>IDM updates can be installed directly without having to activate
again.</li>
<li>After the activation, if in some case, IDM starts to show activation
nag screen, then just run the activation option again.</li>

<div id="reset-idm-activation-trial" class="section level4">
<h4>Reset IDM Activation / Trial</h4>
<ul>
<li>Internet download manager provides 30 days trial period, you can use
this script to reset this Activation / Trial period whenever you
want.</li>
<li>This option also can be used to restore status if in case IDM
reports fake serial key and other similar errors.</li>
</ul>
</div>

</ul>
<hr />
</div>
</div>
<div id="how-does-it-work" class="section level2">
<h2>How does it work?</h2>
<ul>
<li>IDM stores the data related to trial and activation in across
various registry keys. Some of these keys are locked to protect them
from tampering and data is stored in a pattern to track the fake serial
issue and the remaining trial days. To activate it, script here simply
generate those registry keys by triggering a few downloads in IDM and
identifies those registry keys and locks them so IDM cant edit and
view. That way IDM cannot show the warning that its activated with a
fake serial key.</li>
</ul>
