# \$OEM\$ Folders
(Windows Pre-Activation)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Overview
- To create a pre-activated Windows installation .iso, do the following:
- Extract the `$OEM$` folder to the desktop using the MAS script.
- Copy the `$OEM$` folder to the `sources` folder in the Windows installation media (.iso or USB).
- The directory will appear like this: `\sources\$OEM$` in your altered .iso or on your bootable USB drive.
- Now use this .iso or bootable USB drive to install Windows, it will either already be activated (KMS38) as soon as it boots or will self-activate (HWID or Online KMS) at the first internet contact.
- You can check [here](index.html) for activation method details and select the activation method as per your requirement.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Edit ISO File
- As stated above, you can copy the `$OEM$` folder to your bootable USB so you don't have to edit the ISO file. However, if you need to, then follow the steps below.
- Extract the ISO file with an archive software like 7-zip or Winrar.
- Add the mentioned folder to the specified location.
- Run [MakeISO.reg](https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1733596) by Aveyo. [Mirror](https://pixeldrain.com/u/sKEdjFJA).
- Right-click on the extracted ISO folder and select `MakeISO` option.
- That's it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
## Limitations
- On Windows 8 and later, **running setupcomplete.cmd is disabled** if the default installed key for the edition is OEM Channel.\
For example - Preactivation won't work for Windows 10 Iot Enterprise LTSC because installed key is of the OEM channel.
- The **solution** for this issue is to use (Non-Iot) Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC ISO, and the HWID method in preactivation will use Iot LTSC key to change the edition.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
## KMS38 - Server Cor/Acor
- Windows Server Cor/Acor (No GUI) editions don't have the `clipup.exe` file.
- To KMS38 activate it, you need to download the missing `ClipUp.exe` file from [this link](https://www.box.com/index.php?rm=box_download_shared_file&shared_name=qrmkewit9ty6ah0qzk0vncyyrwo8hei9&file_id=f_747809716860).\

This file has digital signatures that can be verified. You can also get this file from the official [Windows Server 2016 x64 RTM ISO](https://download.microsoft.com/download/1/6/F/16FA20E6-4662-482A-920B-1A45CF5AAE3C/14393.0.160715-1616.RS1_RELEASE_SERVER_EVAL_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO).
- Put the `ClipUp.exe` beside the KMS38 Activation script. That would be either `MAS_AIO.cmd` or `KMS38_Activation.cmd`
- Activation script will check `ClipUp.exe` in the current folder (from where script is running) and will use it accordingly.
