Every AnyTech license is locked to a single computer, so we build your key from that machine's unique ID. It takes under a minute, installs nothing, and reads only a non-personal hardware fingerprint. Pick your operating system below.
Press Start, type PowerShell, open it, then paste this entire line and press Enter:
$p=@();try{$p+=(Get-CimInstance Win32_ComputerSystemProduct).UUID}catch{};try{$p+=(Get-CimInstance Win32_BIOS).SerialNumber}catch{};try{$p+=(Get-CimInstance Win32_Processor|Select-Object -First 1).ProcessorId}catch{};try{$p+=(Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem).SerialNumber}catch{};$r=($p|?{$_}) -join '|';if(-not $r){$r=$env:COMPUTERNAME};$h=[Security.Cryptography.SHA256]::Create().ComputeHash([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($r));([BitConverter]::ToString($h) -replace '-').Substring(0,32)
Copy the 32-character value it prints (looks like 8335858DECAC7AAE71E858B2DA22DE73).
Open Terminal (Applications → Utilities → Terminal), paste this entire line and press Return:
printf '%s' "$(hostname)|$(uname -m)|$(ioreg -rd1 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | awk -F'"' '/IOPlatformUUID/{print $4}')" | openssl dgst -sha256 | awk '{print toupper($NF)}' | cut -c1-32
Copy the 32-character value it prints.
Open a terminal and paste this entire line:
id=""; for f in /etc/machine-id /var/lib/dbus/machine-id /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid; do [ -r "$f" ] && { id="$(cat "$f")"; break; }; done; printf '%s' "$(hostname)|$(uname -m)|$id" | openssl dgst -sha256 | awk '{print toupper($NF)}' | cut -c1-32
Copy the 32-character value it prints.
Prefer not to touch a terminal? Download our small Machine-ID tool (Windows, Mac & Linux included). Unzip it, double-click the version for your system, and it shows your Machine ID and copies it to your clipboard.
Windows SmartScreen? Because the tool isn't code-signed, Windows may warn you. Click More info → Run anyway. The tool only reads your hardware ID — it makes no changes and needs no internet.
Email your Machine ID (and which edition you'd like) to info@anytechsolutionsllc.com. We'll generate your node-locked activation key and send it back — usually within one business day.
Choose your edition and we'll cut the matching key.
