I assume you haven’t checked on this since the Windows 7 days, but Massgrave is open source, and the activation logic boils down to about five lines of PowerShell, using only native Windows utilities. I think they even have a tutorial on their website that explains how to perform the activation manually if you want to avoid running their scripts.

Is it 5 lines of PowerShell or 19861 lines of cmd?

Did you bother to even look at the tutorial on their website? You know, the one mentioned in the comment you replied to?

Most of those 19861 lines allow it to be an all in one script for multiple activation methods and products. And, if you're still skeptical, then you are free to audit all 19861 lines yourself.

Maybe at the very least educate yourself before acting so smug.

Why would I look at the tutorial for a no script activation when I was, you know, commenting on a point about a script? Did to you forget to educate yourself to notice the difference?

That's nonsense, of course, how would it help other users? Also, do you expect every single user of the crack to have the capabilities and time to do that?

What circular logic is this?

Other poster writes that code is not auditable since it is not 5 lines, but 20 000 lines and you tell them to audit it?
