You weren't the OP and the OP never replied it did work, he not even replied any information about the progress and the HWID activation simply works without the shown command. I showed all simply works and you echo'ed something alike and now you claim it was solved by the cmd.
Yes it works without the command, i think there was a fault with my new install or i broke something when i removed somethings like edge, and the command fixed what was broken, not the activation method. I hope this clears things up for you, didn't mean to mislead.
I think you guys are having a parallel discussion there and the problem I brought up has nothing to do with MAS or whatever Ace2 is dealing with. It looks like MS thinks that I have a different PC now and refuses to activate it. Which is weird, because the hardware changes are small. I also tried setting the CPU overclock to what it was before and it made no difference.
I’ve done simultaneous hard drive and i3 to i7 cpu upgrade's without losing activation. (Keeping same motherboard) It's hard to predict how many or what kind of changes will cause loss of hwid activation. Just redo it with latest MAS version if needed.
@Ace2, Awesome, I had done many computers from old pc to newer PC (Clean install) as far I did fool around upgrade from Win 10 to 11 and use MAS 2.5 workaround, it got it works just fine... If you people KMS system, try remove it, and use MAS 2.5 with FULL activation without KMS.. works charm... ATGPUD2003
