Added HWID support for Windows 10 LTSC 2019 - Now Microsoft support HWID (Digital License) for Windows 10 LTSC 2019, added key for it in the script. - Some minor improvements.
2020-08-14 05:59:32 +02:00
====================================================================================================
[HWID] Digital License Activation:
====================================================================================================
- This activation is supported for Windows 10 ONLY.
- This activation does not store any files in your system.
- This activation is a permanent activation for your system Hardware.
- On a system, this activation can be created for all the supported editions, and all can be
linked to Microsoft account without any issues.
- 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.)
- Any significant changes in 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.
- For activation to succeed, the Windows Update Service and 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.
- Auto activation scenario after the Windows reinstall:
- The Internet is required. (Only at the time of activation)
- The system will auto-activate if Retail (Consumer) media was used for the installation.
- The system will NOT auto-activate if VL (Business) media was used for the installation.
In this case, the user will have to insert that windows edition Retail/OEM key (find keys below
in this page) to activate, if the user doesn't wish to activate again using this script.
- Possible reasons for activation failure:
- The Internet is not connected.
- Windows update service is disabled.
- Use of a VPN, and/or a privacy-based hosts file, firewall rules.
- Corrupt system files.
- Microsoft servers block the activation request from some countries such as Iran.
- Rarely, Microsoft's activation servers are the problem.
- Some machines are not able to generate GenuineTicket.xml file using gatherosstate.exe
The reason is unknown (to me). Please contact me if it happens to you.
* Troubleshoot guide is listed below.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Make sure the Windows Update Service and internet are both enabled.
- Open a command prompt (run cmd.exe) as administrator, and enter following listed commands in the
the sequence in which they are given.
- Enter Retail/OEM Key, (Replace '%key%' with the key from the above list) with the following command:
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk %key%
- Make sure slc.dll and gatherosstate.exe files are located in the folder, "C:\Files" and enter
the following commands to generate GenuineTicket.xml file.
For x86-x64 systems,
pushd "C:\Files"
rundll32 "C:\Files\slc.dll",PatchGatherosstate
call "C:\Files\gatherosstatemodified.exe"
For ARM64 systems,
call "C:\Files\gatherosstate.exe"
- Now a GenuineTicket.xml file should be created in the folder "C:\Files\", copy and paste this file in the
folder named, "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTicket\"
- Now apply this ticket using the following commands in this sequence:
net stop ClipSVC
net start ClipSVC
- Activate Windows with the following command:
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
- Check Activation Status with the following command:
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /xpr
- Done.
* Note - [clipup -v -o -altto <ticket_path>] method to apply the ticket was not suggested because
of the issues in case the username have spaces or non English characters.
====================================================================================================
Troubleshoot activation issues:
====================================================================================================
- Make sure the internet is connected.
- Open CMD and type services.msc and hit Enter, When Services opens up, look for 'Windows Update'
and Make sure its startup type is set to Automatic. Some update blocking tools and scripts
usually permanently block the update service, you need to make sure it's not the case.
- VPN, privacy-based hosts and/or firewall rules may cause problems with the activation. Disable
them if you are facing problems in activation.
- Reboot the system.
- Now run the script to activate Windows 10, and if unsuccessful,
Try the troubleshoot button in the settings activation page.
If still unsuccessful then read additional troubleshoot options listed below.
--------------------------------------------
- Open CMD as administrator, and enter the following command:
Dism /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- After it's done, reboot the system and open CMD as administrator again, and enter the
following command:
sfc.exe /scannow
- After it's done, reboot the system and run the activation script, and if unsuccessful,
open CMD as administrator again, and enter the following command:
slmgr.vbs /rearm
- Reboot the system and run the activation script, and if unsuccessful,
You may try to rebuild licensing Tokens.dat as suggested in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2736303
(this will require to repair Office afterwards.)
- Reboot the system and run the activation script, and if unsuccessful,
try cleaning the clipup using the following commands, it will reset all the HWID/KMS38 installed
licences in the current system installation. open CMD as administrator again, and enter the
following commands one by one:
net stop ClipSVC
rundll32 clipc.dll,ClipCleanUpState
- Reboot the system (important) and run the activation script, and if unsuccessful,
Make sure hardware component proper drivers are installed, check manufacturer site/Windows-
update for drivers.
- After it's done, reboot the system and run the activation script, and if unsuccessful,
it may be time to start over from the very beginning and do a clean install of windows :D
-------------------------------------------
Activation is blocked in some countries -
-------------------------------------------
- Microsoft servers block the activation request from some countries such as Iran,
To activate the system in those countries, follow the below steps,
- In the settings app, Change Region and Timezone to the USA location and use a VPN, choose the
the location of the USA. Now run the script, it should activate now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Some machines are not able to generate GenuineTicket.xml file using gatherosstate.exe
The reason is unknown (to me). Please contact me if it happens to you.
