The SLUI is short for Windows Activation Client. Usually when you perform activation related actions you mainly just interact with Windows Licensing Manager Script (a.k.a slmgr). But what if your target machine is not connected to the Internet and sitting in a highly secured location and how you perform the activation? That’s the usage scenario for SLUI command. In this tutorial I’ll show you how to perform an activation with SLUI 04 command step by step.
- When you are in front of the target machine which are deployed on a secured environment or does not have Internet connection, you click Star menu > type SLUI 04 or just fire up PS(PowerShell) and type it. (no admin elevation required)
2. Select the country or region in your location.
3. Dialing the toll free number to Microsoft Product Activation Center, then following by the voice instruction to provide with the 63 digits Installation ID.
4. Then you type the Confirmation ID to activation your copy of Windows on the machine.
As you see the whole process is very intuitive, you can also achieve this with slmgr command:
1.Fire up PS(PowerShell) and type slmgr /dti
2.Calling Microsoft Product Activation Center and following the voice instruction to provide your captured 63-digits Installation ID.
3.Write down the Confirmation ID that provide by the phone activation system.
