Check Windows 7 Activation Using VBS
So i had some issues trying to use windows activation and wanted to be able to report on the OS status using BGInfo.
My below script can be referenced inside BGInfo.
I might be worth downloading WMI Code Creator v1.0 This can be used to show what other information is ready for the picking.
Editing the below script will be able to report on any of the records WMI can throw your way.
Copy and paste the following code into a new .vbs file
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * From SoftwareLicensingProduct")
Coltest = int(0)
IsWinActivated = True
For Each objitem In colItems
IF int(objitem.GracePeriodRemaining) = 0 Then Coltest = True else Coltest = False
IF Coltest = False then IsWinActivated = False
Next
IF IsWinActivated = False then
call echo "Failed"
ELSE
call echo "Successful"
END IF
Nice script
Thanks
You are using the wrong method for checking activation status. If you use a MAK key to activate and check GracePeriodRemaining it will be zero.
The correct method to use is LicenseStatus. A value of 1 means activated. The following code is better:
Set objWMIService = GetObject(“winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2”)
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery(“Select * From SoftwareLicensingProduct”)
Coltest = int(0)
bWinActivated = False
For Each objitem In colItems
WScript.Echo objItem.Description
WScript.Echo “License Status: “& objitem.LicenseStatus
WScript.Echo objitem.GracePeriodRemaining
WScript.Echo “KeyManagementServiceProductKeyID: “&objitem.KeyManagementServiceProductKeyID
IF int(objitem.LicenseStatus) 0 Then
bWinActivated = True
strActivationType = objItem.Description
strKey = “ProductKey:” & objItem.ProductKeyID
End if
Next
If bWinActivated = False Then MsgBox(“Windows is not activated”)
If bWinActivated = True Then
MsgBox(“Windows is activated using “&strActivationType& ” key.” & strKey)
End if
Thank you for your comment. I will test and if so, replace my post. Including credit 🙂
