KMS38 Activation:
|
|
====================================================================================================
|
|
|
|
- This activation method activates Windows 10 and Windows Server (14393 and later builds),
|
|
until the year 2038.
|
|
- This activation method does not store any files on the system.
|
|
|
|
- Make sure the following things have been accounted for, before applying KMS38 Activation:
|
|
- Before the activation, if any KMS activator is installed, then make sure to uninstall it
|
|
completely.
|
|
- After KMS38 activation for the Windows Operating System has been achieved, if you want to
|
|
additionally, use the 180 Days KMS Activator for MS Office, then you must make sure that
|
|
it (the 180 Days KMS Activator for MS Office) is compatible with Windows KMS38 activation.
|
|
FYI, the following activators are compatible and can activate Office
|
|
without disrupting the Windows KMS38 activation.

Online KMS Activation Script https://www.nsaneforums.com/topic/316668-microsoft-activation-scripts/
|
|
|
|
- Any KMS Activator which is not compatible with KMS38, may overwrite the KMS38 activation for
|
|
Windows with its own 180 days activation, thereby destroying the KMS38 activation for Windows.
|
|
To prevent this accidental overwriting, you can apply KMS38 protection for Windows, check
|
|
the Extras folder for more details.
|
|
|
|
- Why is the script setting the specific KMS host to 127.0.0.2 (localhost)?
|
|
- By doing this, global KMS IP can not replace KMS38 activation but can be used with Office and
|
|
other Windows Editions.
|
|
- In case you don't like it, you can remove it with following codes, open CMD as admin and enter,
|
|
|
|
set "SPPk=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform"
|
|
reg delete "HKLM\%SPPk%\55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f" /f

|
- Make sure to properly and completely remove any previously-installed KMS activator if one already exists.
|
|
- Open CMD as Admin, and enter the following listed commands in the sequence in which they are given.
|
|
- Enter Generic Volume License Key (GVLK) (Replace '%key%' with the key from the above list)
|
|
with the following command:
|
|
|
|
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk %key%
|
|
|
|
- Set specific KMS host to 127.0.0.2 [Localhost] with the following command: (Run one by one)
|
|
- By doing this, the global KMS IP can not replace the KMS38 activation, and can then safely be used with MS Office
|
|
and other Windows Editions.
|
|
- It's optional.
|
|
|
|
set spp=SoftwareLicensingProduct
|
|
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %G in ('"wmic path %spp% where (Description like '%%KMSCLIENT%%' and Name like 'Windows%%' and PartialProductKey is not NULL) get ID /VALUE"') do (set app=%G)
|
|
wmic path %spp% where ID='%app%' call ClearKeyManagementServiceMachine
|
|
wmic path %spp% where ID='%app%' call ClearKeyManagementServicePort
|
|
wmic path %spp% where ID='%app%' call SetKeyManagementServiceMachine MachineName="127.0.0.2"
|
|
wmic path %spp% where ID='%app%' call SetKeyManagementServicePort 1688
|
|
|
|
- Make sure slc.dll and gatherosstate.exe files are located in the folder, "C:\Files" and enter
|
|
following command to generate GenuineTicket.xml file.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
(In case of server cor and acor editions, copy the clipup.exe file to the folder "C:\Windows\System32\")
|
|
|
|
net stop ClipSVC
|
|
net start ClipSVC
|
|
|
|
- Check the expiry date of the activation with the following command:
|
|
|
|
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /xpr
|
|
|
|
- If the expiry date is not in the year 2038, then enter the following command:
|
|
|
|
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm-app 55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f
|
|
set spp=SoftwareLicensingProduct
|
|
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %G in ('"wmic path %spp% where (Description like '%%KMSCLIENT%%' and Name like 'Windows%%' and PartialProductKey is not NULL) get ID /VALUE"') do (set app=%G)
|
|
cscript /nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /rearm-sku %app%
|
|
|
|
- check expiry date again, now it should show activation until the year 2038.
|
|
|
|
- Done.
|
|
|
|
====================================================================================================
|
|
Troubleshoot activation issues:
|
|
====================================================================================================
|
|
|
|
- Make sure to completely remove any previously-installed KMS activators if any exist, before
|
|
installing KMS38 activation.
|
|
|
|
- Reboot the system.
|
|
|
|
- Now run the script to activate Windows 10, and if unsuccessful,
|
|
Try the troubleshoot button in settings activation page.
|
|
If still unsuccessful then read additional troubleshoot options listed below.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- Open CMD as Admin, and enter the following command:
|
|
|
|
Dism /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
|
|
|
|
- After its done, reboot the system and Open CMD as Admin, 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 (important) 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, it may be
|
|
time to start over from the very beginning and do a clean install of windows :D
|
|
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- 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.
