## What it is
TSforge is a C# command-line tool implementing a collection of activation and evaluation extension methods for Windows Vista through 11, including ZeroCID, KMS4k, AVMA4k, and trusted store manipulation. It is intended to be used through Microsoft Activation Scripts rather than directly.

## Use cases
- activate windows permanently without a license server
- perform offline kms activation for kms-activatable editions
- reset windows evaluation period and rearm count
- dump and restore the windows trusted store
- clear tamper state after spp store corruption
- install a generated product key for a specific activation id

## When to choose
- you need offline or long-lived Windows activation methods on Vista through 11
- you want to manipulate Windows SPP trusted store data, rearm counters, or evaluation locks
- you are building or extending Microsoft Activation Scripts integrations

## When to avoid
- you need a supported, licensed way to activate Windows
- you are on a non-Windows platform
- you expect direct vendor support - the project explicitly provides none

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: security, cli, developer-tools
- domain: windows, security
- platform: windows, cli
- tags: windows-activation, kms, avma, software-licensing, spp, system-tool, command-line
