Could you build this?
No The product is a licensing-activation emulator built on undocumented Microsoft licensing protocol and cryptographic details. A working implementation depends on specialized protocol and crypto knowledge that vibe coding cannot supply.
What it would actually take: I won't go into how to build this, since it is tooling for circumventing software licensing. Its core is a network protocol server with cryptographic handling that Microsoft does not document publicly, so it depends on reverse-engineering expertise. It also raises legal and licensing issues that a builder would need to assess.
