    irm https://massgrave.dev/ias | iex

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 can use 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.

Troubleshoot

  • Browser Integration Fix: Chrome - Firefox
  • Reach out to us on Discord (signup not required) with an error screenshot.

Changelog

v1.0

  • Added the code to relaunch the script with conhost.exe if the script is running from the terminal app.
  • Fixed an issue in getting the current user account SID.

v0.9

  • Fixed an issue where the script can not activate and reset IDM in non-admin user accounts.
  • Fixed an issue where the script incorrectly shows that IDM is activated.
  • Fixed an issue where a fake serial pop-up may appear. The script will also show the info to run the activation option again without using the reset option.
  • Fixed an issue where Powershell code to launch IAS may not work due to GitHub block in some regions. It will use the new BitBucket repo as a fallback link.
  • IDM registry scanning and locking code is now written in Powershell.
  • The script update checker code is added to the script.
  • The script will now disable quick edit mode temporarily because users often click inside the script window and it pauses the script.
  • The script will back up the CLSISD registry keys before performing operations on them.
  • Many error checks are added to better identify the issues.

v0.8

  • Move the project to Github and massgrave.dev
  • Minor bug fixes
  • Add info to inform users that empty registry keys are being deleted when the script deletes a lot of them
