Info
Activation
- This script applies the registry lock method to activate the Internet download manager (IDM).
- This method requires the Internet at the time of activation.
- IDM updates can be installed directly without having to activate it again.
- After the activation, if in some cases, IDM starts to show an activation nag screen, then just run the activation option again without using the reset option.
Reset IDM Activation / Trial
- Internet download manager provides a 30-day trial period, you canuse this script to reset this Activation / Trial period whenever you want.
- This option also can be used to restore status if in case IDM reports a fake serial key and other similar errors.
OS requirement
- The project is supported for Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11 and their Server equivalent.
- The PowerShell method to run IAS is supported on Windows 8 and higher.
Advanced Info
- To add a custom name in IDM license info, edit line number 29 in the script file.
- For activation in unattended mode, run the script with the/act parameter.
- For reset in unattended mode, run the script with the/res parameter.
How does it work?
- IDM stores the data related to trial and activation across various registry keys. Some of these keys are locked to protect them from tampering and data is stored in a pattern to track the fake serial issue and the remaining trial days. To activate it, the script here simply generates those registry keys by triggering a few downloads in IDM,identifies those registry keys, and locks them so IDM can’t edit and view them. That way IDM cannot show the warning that it’s activated with a fake serial key.
Edit:
Some may have encountered that the serial numbers are fake prompt. Nag attach nako possible fix.Update 04/20/2024:
New activator uploaded!Please use freeze trial.
