Activating OEM Windows 7 licenses or downgrade rights can be challenging with traditional methods like FOG client. This script offers a streamlined solution for quick and efficient activation, mirroring the OEM process.
This customized batch script simplifies OEM activation for Windows 7, specifically designed for FOG Project users. It automates the process of identifying the PC manufacturer and Windows edition (e.g., Home Premium, Professional). It then installs the corresponding OEM certificate and key, ensuring seamless activation.
The script operates in two modes: manufacturer selection or a new “automatic mode.” Automatic mode intelligently detects the appropriate settings, further simplifying the activation process. After applying the key and certificate, the script verifies activation status. For FOG Project integration, it conveniently starts the FOG client service upon successful activation.
This method replicates the OEM activation performed during factory sysprep, providing a reliable and efficient way to manage Windows 7 deployments. This solution eliminates the need for manual key entry and ensures consistent activation across multiple machines.
While the script is written in batch and may appear complex, its functionality is straightforward and effective. Users familiar with FOG Project will appreciate the integrated service management, ensuring a smooth transition after activation.
