Here's a VBScript script for you to change a volume license key to whatever you want:


ON ERROR RESUME NEXT

if Wscript.arguments.count<1 then
Wscript.echo "Script can't run without Key argument" Wscript.echo
"Correct usage: Cscript ChangeVLKey.vbs
ABCDE-FGHIJ-KLMNO-PRSTU-WYQZX"
Wscript.quit
end if

Dim VOL_PROD_KEY
VOL_PROD_KEY = Wscript.arguments.Item(0) VOL_PROD_KEY =
Replace(VOL_PROD_KEY,"-","") 'remove hyphens if any

for each Obj in
GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}").InstancesOf
("win32_WindowsProductActivation")

result = Obj.SetProductKey (VOL_PROD_KEY)

if err  0 then
WScript.Echo Err.Description, "0x" & Hex(Err.Number) Err.Clear
end if

Next


...and here's how to use it:

c:\changekeyscript.vbs ab123-123ab-ab123-123ab-ab123


How's that for a light trigger, eh?
