Activate Windows from command line



How to activate Windows from command line?

If you have decided to convert an evaluation Windows server (Windows 2016 or other server version), or Windows 10 to a license Operating system then you need to replace the product key.
You will need to change the product key and activate the system, in order to use the product outside of its evaluation period.

Assuming you have done the steps of converting the evaluation software and all the evaluation packages has been removed. Of course, if you have plenty of time in your hands and you just want to redo everything then you can just install or setup a new environment.

To activate a new product key from command line, first the product key must be installed and replaced the existing one. Second, activate the product key.

Here’s how to do it via command line:

a. slmgr /ipk windows-product-key-with-slashes

/ipk = installed product key
windows-product-key-with-slashes – replace this with the actual windows product key

If everything goes well there will be a pop-up message notifying that the operation was successful.

b. slmgr /ato

Just type the above command to activate the newly installed product key, if everything goes well then a pop-up message will appear to notify that activation was successful and also the watermark for the evaluation will be removed.

/ato – most probably this means activate online
Slmgr /ato – should be done while the machine is online.
Till next time. Cheers~!

WMIC get computer name

WMIC get computer model, manufacturer, computer name and  username. WMIC is a command-line tool and that can generate information about computer model, its manufacturer, its username and other informations depending on the parameters provided. Why would you need a command line tool if there’s a GUI to check? If you have 20 or 100 computers, or even more. It’s quite a big task just checking the GUI to check the computer model and username. If you have remote computers, you need to delegate someone in the remote office or location to check. Or you can just write a batch file or script to automate the task.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only.
