Using in the Powershell One-Liner​

& ([ScriptBlock]::Create((irm https://get.activated.win))) /para

  • Replace /para in this command with the switches from the above table. You can also use multiple switches. For example, /HWID /Ohook
  • This Powershell one-liner will only work on Windows 8.1 and later.
  • To change the edition through the command line, check here. We didn't automate it in MAS because it requires a reboot in some cases.

Rules​

  • The script will run in unattended mode if any switch is used.
  • /S switch is not applicable in MAS separate files version scripts.
  • All switches are case-insensitive and work in any order, but must be separated with spaces.
  • KMS Uninstall switch will take precedence over other KMS switches.
  • KMS38 remove protection switch will take precedence over KMS38 activation.
