Wanna play Soulframe, don’t wanna pay for Windows to play a game I got legally.
- Kinda funny that this is on Github. - Your data is worth a lot more to microsoft than the license fee. 
- Microsoft support uses it even if they aren’t supposed to officially 
- You know what’s even funnier? There’s even an official mirror on Azure DevOps. https://dev.azure.com/massgrave/_git/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts - Ok, that’s even funnier. Unless there is a conspiracy. :) 
 
- That script is a lifesaver! 😅I’ve used it countless times. Usually, GitHub takes them down, but this one managed to survive. 
 
 
- A VM is going to incur a pretty big performance loss. From what I’ve read, Soulframe works just fine with Proton. Either Lutris or the Linux Steam client should work for running it. - Aye, Soulframe works flawlessly via Lutris. It runs on the same engine as Warframe and performs as well really. Been playing Soulframe for months on SUSE. 
- +1 for proton, though I think modern VM tech very little overhead these days. 
- OP can also do GPU passtrought to huuugely negate the performance loss, but it is a rather complex process. - For 2d platformers, the virtio GPU with 3d acceleration might be OK. 
 
 
- Do you even need to activate it? It’s not like it will do anything other than nag you 
- massgrave.dev should be good 
- Click “I don’t have a product key” during install. Then use MAS to activate after the install. 
- If that game can run on a VM, pretty sure you can play it even though you have activate Windows watermark. 
- From microsoft https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/kms-client-activation-keys - Or click on “I don’t have a product key” during install - Btw gaming in a VM, unless it’s a extremely old game (30+ years ago), or you have a second, dedicated GPU that you can passthrough, it’s going to give disappointing results 
- Why would you need that? 
 If the watermark doesnt bother you, I wouldnt even bother.
- What are you playing on atm? - I’m not playing. My computer runs Ubuntu and I can’t get decent performance with Lutris. - Hmm… I’d try running it through Steam. - I feel like I’ve generally had better results with Steam than Lutris. 
- tried bottles? 
 
 
- Windows 10 Pro: W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX Open CMD and type slmgr /ipk yourlicensekey press enter - Then type slmgr /skms kms8.msguides.com press enter - Then type slmgr /ato press enter - Now activated.
