• Administrator privileges
• Internet Download Manager installed

1. Download the script: surjo99.cmd
2. Right-click on surjo99.cmd
3. Select "Run as administrator"
4. Choose an option from the menu:
   • [1] Activate
   • [2] Freeze Trial
   • [3] Reset Activation / Trial
   • [4] Download IDM
   • [5] Help
   • [6] Check IDM Status

Run the script with parameters to skip the menu:

:: Activate IDM
surjo99.cmd /act

:: Freeze 30-day trial
surjo99.cmd /frz

:: Reset activation and trial
surjo99.cmd /res

:: Create registry backup
surjo99.cmd /bak

:: Check IDM status
surjo99.cmd /sts

:: View logs

Registers IDM with a valid serial key for full access without trial limitations.

Extends the 30-day trial period indefinitely by locking the trial date in the registry. This is the recommended option as it's more stable than activation.

Completely removes all activation and trial data from the registry. Use this to start fresh or troubleshoot issues.

Displays:

• IDM installation path
• Current version
• Registration status
• Trial information

Shows detailed system information including:

• Computer Name and User
• OS Version and Build
• Processor Architecture
• IDM Version
• System Paths

Creates a complete backup of your registry modifications with:

• Automatic timestamp
• Safe storage location
• Full restore capability

Access detailed logs of all script operations:

• Operation history
• Status changes
• Error messages
• Timestamps

Compares your script version with the latest available on GitHub.

1. Checks System Requirements

   • Verifies Windows version compatibility
   • Checks for PowerShell availability
   • Validates administrator privileges

2. Backs Up Registry

   • Creates automatic backup of CLSID keys in %SystemRoot%\Temp
   • Format: _Backup_HKCU_CLSID_[timestamp].reg

3. Modifies Registry

   • Adds registration details to Windows registry
   • Generates random serial keys
   • Applies CLSID modifications for activation

4. Locks/Deletes Registry Keys

   • Prevents IDM from detecting activation modifications
   • Uses PowerShell for advanced registry manipulation

Similar to activation, but:

• Preserves existing trial end date
• Locks the registry to prevent date updates
• More stable than full activation

Solution:

• Ensure PowerShell is enabled: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
• Run as Administrator
• Check that WMI service is running: net start WmiPrvSE

Solution:

• Type in Command Prompt: net start Null
• The script will wait 10 seconds and continue automatically

Solution:

• Use "Freeze Trial" option instead - it's more reliable
• If activation shows fake serial screen, reinstall IDM

Solution:

• Check PowerShell execution policy
• Verify PowerShell is not restricted by Group Policy
• Reset PowerShell: Set-ExecutionPolicy Default

Solution:

• Run script as Administrator
• Disable antivirus temporarily
• Check User Account Control (UAC) settings

All registry modifications are backed up automatically to:

%SystemRoot%\Temp\_Backup_HKCU_CLSID_[timestamp].reg
%SystemRoot%\Temp\_Backup_HKU-[SID]_CLSID_[timestamp].reg

To restore:

1. Open Registry Editor (regedit)
2. File → Import
3. Select backup .reg file
4. Click Restore

The script modifies the following registry paths:

For x86 Systems:

HKCU\Software\Classes\CLSID
HKU\[SID]\Software\Classes\CLSID
HKCU\Software\DownloadManager

For x64 Systems:

HKCU\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID
HKU\[SID]\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID
HKCU\Software\DownloadManager

The activation process modifies:

• FName - First name
• LName - Last name
• Email - Email address
• Serial - Serial key
• Various trial and lock keys

The script collects and logs:

• Windows OS version
• Windows build number
