Who cares when you have the github script.

And Linux..

MAS was actually using this method for activation. Now that it doesn't work, this particular activation method within MAS also doesn't work.

I used it yesterday and it worked.

That’s great. This happened today.

This absolutely magical one.

HWID or whatever is dead, but KMS lives on. I used this script for the first time recently and it’s magical. Best of all, you can just access it via powershell!

HWID is temporarily dead.

I am completely confident they'll get it working again.

I mean, it's completely up to Microsoft. It was based on the free upgrade from win 7 to 10 that Microsoft still provided (and now has stopped)
