From a588dddc1e7b338e3ad4e1f556dd638034eb11f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Git Sagar Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 21:09:09 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] switch from HWID to TSforge activation HWID is hardware-tied and doesn't survive VM migration. TSforge manipulates the physical activation store directly and is portable.
