Introduction:

Windows activation is designed to be as foolproof as possible, and Microsoft's graphical tools remain simple. If you want to remove a product key, force an online activation, or extend the activation time, you will need Slmgr.vbs.
This command is included with Windows and provides unavailable options in the standard activation interface provided in the Update and Security >> Activation screen.

View activation, license, and expiration date information

To view very simple license and activation information about the current system, run the following command. This command tells you the edition of Windows, part of the product key so you can identify it and if the system is enabled.

slmgr.vbs / dli

To view more detailed license information, including the activation ID, installation ID, and other details, run the following command:

slmgr.vbs / dlv

View the expiration date of the license

To view the expiration date of the current license, run the following command. This is only useful for the Windows system activated from an organization's KMS server because retail licenses and multiple activation keys result in a perpetual license that will not expire. If you did not provide a product key, you will receive an error message.

slmgr.vbs / xpr

Uninstall the product key

You can remove the product key from your current Windows system with Slmgr. After running the command below and restarting your computer, the Windows system will not have a product key and will be in an unactivated and unauthorized state.
If you installed Windows from a retail license and want to use that license on another computer, you can remove the license. It could also be useful if you give this computer to someone else. However, most Windows licenses are tied to the computer with which they are provided unless you have purchased a boxed copy.

To uninstall, uninstall the current product key, run the following command, and then restart your computer:

slmgr.vbs / upk

Windows also saves the product key in the registry because sometimes it is necessary for the key to be in the registry during computer setup. If you uninstalled the product key, you must run the command below to make sure it is also removed from the registry. This will allow people who use the computer in the future to not enter the product key.

Running this command does not uninstall your product key. It will remove it from the registry so programs can not access it from there, but your Windows system will remain licensed unless you run the command above to actually uninstall the product key. This option is really designed to prevent the key from being stolen by malware if the malicious software running on the current system accesses the registry.

Set or change the product key

You can use slmgr.vbs to enter a new product key. If the Windows system already has a product key, using the command below silently replaces the old product key with the one you provide.
Run the following command to replace the product key, replacing

with the product key. The order will check the product key you enter to make sure it is valid before using it. Microsoft recommends that you restart the computer after running this command.
You can also change your product key from the Activation screen of the Settings application, but this command allows you to do so from the command line.

Enable Windows Online

To force Windows to attempt an online activation, run the following command. If you use a commercial version of Windows, this will force Windows to attempt an online activation with Microsoft servers. If the system is configured to use a KMS activation server, it will instead attempt to enable the KMS server on the local network. This command can be useful if Windows has not activated because of a connection or a server problem and you want to force it to try again.
