<h1><strong>HWID Activation</strong></h1>
<hr />
<div id="overview" class="section level2">
<h2>Overview</h2>
<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 is supported for Windows 10/11 only.</p></li>
<li><p>This activation does not store or modify/patch any files in your
system.</p></li>
<li><p>This activation is a permanent activation for your system
Hardware.</p></li>
<li><p>On a system, this activation can be created for all the supported
editions, and all can be linked to Microsoft account without any
issues.</p></li>
<li><p>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. This is
how official digital license works.</p></li>
<li><p>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.</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>Auto activation scenario after the Windows re-install:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The Internet is required. (Only at the time of
activation)</p></li>
<li><p>The system will auto-activate if Retail (Consumer) media was used
for the installation.</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 that
windows edition Retail/OEM key (find keys below on this page) to
activate, if the user doesnt wish to activate again using this
script.</p></li>

<div id="how-does-it-work" class="section level2">
<h2>How does it work?</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>In the official upgrade process from Windows 7 to Windows 10,
Microsoft provides an HWID (digital license) activation 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 current Windows if found 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 just 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 HWID (Digital
license).</p></li>
<li><p>How to convince the gatherosstate.exe?<br />
There are two methods for it.<br />
<br />
<strong>1-</strong> Place a <a
href="https://github.com/Gamers-Against-Weed/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 which
can send the 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/Gamers-Against-Weed/GamersOsState">Modify</a>
the gatherosstate.exe file itself so that it doesnt check the systems
activation status and can directly create a valid ticket.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To be clear, we are <strong>not modifying/patching any on-board
system file</strong> to get digital license. Gatherosstate.exe is a part
of ISO file and not available in C drive system files. Systems slc.dll
file is not touched, instead we use custom slc.dll only for a brief
moment of ticket generation.</li>
<li>If you want to understand more about how these above mentioned both
methods then check this repo <a
href="https://github.com/massgravel/MAS-Legacy-Methods">MAS-Legacy-Methods</a></li>
<li>Latest MAS doesnt use any of these methods, instead it uses ready
to use Universal tickets (check below for info).</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<hr />
</div>
<div id="types-of-tickets" class="section level2">
<h2>Types of Tickets</h2>
<p>There are many methods for ticket generation, majorly we can classify
the ticket types in 3 categories.</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li><p><strong>Downlevel Ticket</strong> - This is the simplest ticket
generation process. In this method, ticket is signed by downlevel key by
the system and the tickets OSVersion is =&lt;10. If its generated on
Windows 10/11 then MS ideally arent supposed to grant activation,
however they do and method is continuously working from last 4-5 years.
Almost every HWID activator (at the time of writing this) is based on
this method.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Lockbox Ticket</strong> - This is slightly a trickier
method. The ticket is signed by Lockbox key by the system and the
tickets OSVersion is 10. This ticket generation process involves
cleaning Clipsvc licenses and IdentityCRL registry key in the system.
Due to some hiccups in the process, this method is not primarily used in
MAS, however these are the types of tickets that are identical to the
genuine ticket generated by system on activated Windows 10/11.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Universal Ticket</strong> - In this method, we set the
OSVersion =&lt;5 in the ticket and when we apply the ticket, system
ignores the HWID in the ticket due to lower OSVersion and grant the
activation anyway. This ticket can be applied on any system. These
tickets can either be Downlevel or Lockbox type. MS ideally arent
supposed to grant activation, however they do.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Latest version of MAS is using Universal ticket method. Other ticket
method scripts can be found in this repo <a
href="https://github.com/massgravel/MAS-Legacy-Methods">MAS-Legacy-Methods</a></p>
<p>Now a question, can Microsoft block the new requests or revoke
already established HWID license?</p>
<ul>
<li>Revoking the license would be too extreme and will face many
complications and risk of voiding valid licenses. However maybe they can
block the new activation requests coming from Downlevel and Universal
tickets. But the tools are working from 4-5 years and they dont seem to
care much for consumer piracy; Thats not where they get the most money
from.</li>
