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
reg delete "HKU\S-1-5-20\%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.
