Fix Issues In Connecting To Licensing Servers
-
In some cases, HWID activation may fail because system couldn't connect to HWID licensing servers.
-
Activation script will inform you about this if that is the case.
-
This may happen mostly either due to DNS or Issues in MS licensing servers itself or Firewall rules in the system. Below you can find listed fixes for it.
-
Which method to choose for the fix?\
- If you are located in China then choose Modify Host File option.\
- If you are not in China then first try Fix DNS option, and if that doesn't work then try VPN method.
-
