Could you build this?
Partial A Python command-line utility is easy to vibe-code, but the activation mechanics depend on undocumented Windows licensing internals. The part that works in practice is the hard piece, and its purpose is circumventing licensing.
What it would actually take: The easy portion is a Python CLI that calls built-in Windows licensing tools and wraps their output. The difficult portion is the activation logic, which relies on undocumented licensing internals and differs across Windows versions. I won't detail how to replicate the circumvention itself.
