How-to

Using the app

5 steps from launch to a fresh HWID

  1. 01

    Launch the app

    Windows will show the UAC prompt — click «Yes». Without administrator rights changing the HWID isn't possible.

  2. 02

    Note your UID

    The top row of the window shows your unique UID in XXX-XXX-XXX format and the current changes balance. Click the UID to copy it — you'll need it for payments and support. You start with 3 free changes.

  3. 03

    Click «Change HWID»

    A dialog opens with checkboxes — pick which identifiers to change (computer name, MAC addresses, disk serials, etc.) or keep all of them on. If you change MAC addresses, leave the «Restart adapters» checkbox enabled.

  4. 04

    Wait for it to finish

    A progress bar at the bottom shows the current step. When you see «HWID changed» — done. Your balance drops by 1 (or stays ∞ if you have an active subscription).

  5. 05

    Restore any previous state

    The «Restore» button opens a paginated list (10 per page) with a date filter. ORIGIN is your initial HWID before the first change — always pinned to the top. Click any row to roll the HWID back to that state.

Good to know

  • •After changing MAC addresses or disk serials, a reboot is recommended — Windows occasionally shows old values until the next boot.
  • •A subscription ($10 for 30 days or $50 for a year) gives unlimited changes. Without one, each change deducts 1 from your balance.
  • •Restore is free and never deducts from your balance — roll back as many times as you want.
