Didn't microsoft recently push something to prevent these from working?
They recently broke hwid, but was recently fixed as of 2.2. The other method worked fine still
HWID is permanent, even after Microsoft fixed the method that massgravel was using. It only affected new installs because people couldn't run the script to activate Windows permanently.
It's fixed and activating permanently now though.
Hm, I could have sworn I had read an article around here (roughly the last two months maybe, likely more recently) saying that the MAS had been patched by Microsoft, but now I can't find anything about it at all. Odd.
Well, good that it's still functioning!
They thought it was patched for good but after a few days found a workaround
As always. 😅
They patched new HWID requests being sent, but any existing licenses made with those methods are fine. That was only one of several ways to spoof yourself legitimate, though. The rest still work.
