The main problem with AI models, even today, is that they're very shortsighted. They're too focused on the thing working now than thinking about how maintainable it will be later. As such, you get duplicated code, as well as comments that are geared towards what it's doing right then and there (as if it's an advertisement of it's services) rather than improving the readability of the code. Always check your diffs.

* Update workflows

* Update freebsd.yml

* Update README.md

In light of the recent exponential interest in this project I've decided to put updates of this project here:

FAQ

What does it do?

This program is a tool for researching and experimenting with retro Microsoft product licensing, for products released before 2012.

How does it work?

Enderman's XPKeygen Readme explains everything in detail.

How do I use it?

It all comes down to four simple steps:

System Requirements

MS-DOS

i386 processor or better
MS-DOS 6.22 or later
Any DOS-based version of Windows
Windows NT 4.0 or later (via NTVDM)

Windows (x86)

Pentium processor or better
Windows 98 First Edition or later
Windows NT 4.0 SP6a or later

Windows (x64)

Windows MT 5.2 (Windows XP x64, Windows Server 2003) or later

Windows (ARM64)

Winodws 11 21H2 or later

macOS

Apple Silicon or x86_64 processor
macOS 26 Tahoe or later

Linux

modern ARM, x86, or x86_64 processor
Latest version of your Linux distro

Usage

1. Download the latest version of UMSKT

(GitHub account required)
- Download the latest experimental version using the Actions tab (Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, DOS DJGPP)
(GitHub account *not* required)
- Download the latest release for your operating system and architecture from the releases page

Important

Before continuing, please ensure you have the umskt executable extracted and on UNIX-like systems, have execution permissions (chmod +x umskt).

2. Run `umskt` to generate a key, or add `--help` or `-h` to see more options.

Important

On macOS, like all unsigned executables, you'll need to hold Ctrl while right clicking and selecting Open to actually open it.

3. (Activation step for `Retail` and `OEM` only)

After installation, you will be prompted to activate Windows.
Select the telephone activation method, then, run umskt -i <Installation ID> using the Installation ID the activation Wizard provides for you
- If you're activating a non-Windows product, use umskt -i <Installation ID> -m <Product>, where <Product> is one of OFFICEXP, OFFICE2K3, OFFICE2K7, PLUSDME, or OFFICEACC
- If activating Office 2003/2007, use umskt -i <Installation ID> -m <Product> -p <Product ID>

4. Profit!
