# TSforge Activation

## Overview

-   How to use it? Please find the instructions [here](intro.md#how-to-activate-windows--office).
-   This activation is permanent until a Windows reinstall or a major feature upgrade (not to be confused with small enablement upgrades or monthly cumulative updates).
-   This activation method doesn't modify any Windows components and doesn't install any new files.
-   Once the system is activated, hardware can be changed arbitrarily without triggering de-activation.
-   Internet is not required for this method.
-   This activation method can activate any of the following products if a phone license is available and licensing is managed by the system's SPP. For example,
    *   Windows 7 and later
    *   Windows Server 2008 R2 and later
    *   Office 2013 and later (requires Windows 8 or later)
    *   Windows addons (ESU, APPXLOB, etc.)
    *   Windows and Office KMS Hosts (CSVLK)
-   Online validation (WAT) is bypassed on Windows 7.
-   In addition to the permanent activation of Windows and Office KMS Hosts, it also charges the KMS server with 25 clients (required for KMS client activation) for 30 days (maximum).
-	In addition to activation, it can reset the rearm count and evaluation period, clear the tamper state, and remove the evaluation key lock.

## How does it work?

**Process on Windows 7**

**Process on Windows 8 and later**

- Windows activation is managed by a subsystem called the Software Protection Platform (SPP).
- SPP stores information about the activation state in files called the "physical store" and "token store".
- The physical store's contents are cryptographically protected and integrity-checked by SPPSvc/SPSys, preventing users from easily modifying it.
- The physical store is usually found at these locations:
  - Windows 7 - `C:\Windows\System32\7B296FB0-376B-497e-B012-9C450E1B7327-5P-0.C7483456-A289-439d-8115-601632D005A0` and `C:\Windows\System32\7B296FB0-376B-497e-B012-9C450E1B7327-5P-1.C7483456-A289-439d-8115-601632D005A0`
  - Windows 8 - `C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\data.dat`
  - Windows 8.1/10/11 - `C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0\data.dat`
- The token store is usually found at these locations:
  - Windows 7 - `C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform\tokens.dat`
  - Windows 8 - `C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\tokens.dat`
  - Windows 8.1/10/11 - `C:\Windows\System32\spp\store\2.0\tokens.dat`
- In normal product key installation and phone activation, associated data is written to the physical store and token store. Said phone activation data is [cryptographically checked](https://github.com/UMSKT/writeups/blob/main/PKEY2005.md) against the Installation ID before being written. When SPP relaunches, it is only given a very basic check against the current Hardware ID.
- By writing forged data directly to the physical store and token store, we can bypass both checks, causing SPP to believe it installed a fake product key and/or confirmation ID.
- To bypass checks for hardware changes, a [Hardware ID](https://github.com/massgravel/activation/blob/main/Hwid.md#hardware-id) with a threshold of 0 is included in this forged data.
- On Windows 7, the fake product key data does not contain a value known as the "Key Unique ID". This value is required for both WAT and online activation, so removing it causes both to be non-functional, preventing WAT from triggering de-activation.
- The presence of valid product key and confirmation ID data causes SPP to activate the specified product as long as it is capable of phone activation.
- This process is implemented as the ZeroCID option in [TSforge](https://github.com/massgravel/TSforge).

## Unsupported Products

This activation method does not work if a phone license is not available or if licensing is not managed by the system's SPP.

- **Windows Vista / Server 2008**
  - You can use these [alternative options](unsupported_products_activation.md#windows-vista) to activate.
- **Office on Windows 7**
  - Its licensing is based on OSPP, not SPP.
  - You can use Online KMS option in MAS to activate it.
- **Office 2010**
  - Its licensing is based on OSPP, not SPP.
  - You can use Online KMS option in MAS to activate it.
- **Office 365**
  - Phone activation license is not available. TSforge option will install Mondo 2016 license (feature-wise equivalent to 365) instead to activate Office.
  - You can use Ohook option in MAS to activate it.
- **Windows Evaluation editions** (Windows 8 / Server 2012 and later)
  - Permanent activation license is not available. TSforge option will reset the evaluation period instead.
- **Windows Evaluation editions** (Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2)
  - WLMS service protects the SPPSVC service and prevents it from stopping. Although permanent activation license is available, its officially not supported.
- **Server Azure Datacenter (ServerTurbine) edition**
  - It does not support activation on non-azure systems.
- **Windows 10 Consumer ESU (1 Year)**
  - Its licensing is based on CLIP, not SPP.
  - You can activate commercial ESU for 3 years on Pro and higher level editions with TSforge.

:::info

**Windows Vista:** Unlike Windows 7, Vista SPSys constantly holds an exclusive handle to the physical store, preventing user-mode programs from writing to it. This has prevented us from adding support for it.

**OSPP based Office:** Physical store is stored in the registry in a format that has not yet been reverse engineered.

## ZeroCID / KMS4k / AVMA4k

- TSforge is included in MAS and it also has its own [standalone release](https://github.com/massgravel/TSforge).
- TSforge includes the ZeroCID / KMS4k / AVMA4k activation methods.
- KMS4k and AVMA4k are proof-of-concept methods with limitations, so we do not recommend using them.
- MAS uses the ZeroCID method only and does not include KMS4k or AVMA4k, as ZeroCID can already activate all available products permanently.

| Methods | Info                                                                                                 |
|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ZeroCID | Offline permanent activation / until reinstall/feature upgrade                                       |
| KMS4k   | Offline KMS activation for over 4000 years / until reinstall/feature upgrade                         |
| AVMA4k  | Offline AVMA activation for over 4000 years (Server 2012 R2+ only) / until reinstall/feature upgrade |

## Windows ESU

- Microsoft offers paid [Extended Security Updates](https://learn.microsoft.com/lifecycle/faq/extended-security-updates) (ESU) for several Windows versions after their product lifecycle ends.
- You can activate the Windows ESU / Premium Assurance license using the TSforge option in MAS.

  <summary>Workaround to install on Non-Volume licensed Windows</summary>

 - All installers normally require volume-licensed Windows, but this can be worked around as well:
   - Follow the same procedure as for the above Office 2010 workaround, but replace `If isVL = False` with `If False`.
   - For Office 2019-2024 packs, the installer script to edit is named after the Office version (ex. `kms_host19.vbs` for Office 2019).
