# Hardware-ID Spoofer

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Activate the license

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### (Optional) Generate a seed

{% hint style="info" %}
You only need to generate a new seed **between bans.**
{% endhint %}

* The seed is a single number that keeps track of all of your current PC's identifying MAC addresses, serials, etc.
* Each time you spoof, as long as the seed remains the same, the serials, MAC addresses, etc. will remain the same. This means that using cheats that track your PC's hardware IDs to authenticate your license will not break the HWIDs.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Clean

* Click the `Clean` button
* Select `No` when asked about cleaning other games
  * wait for this process to complete
    {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Spoof

* Click the `Spoof` button
  * wait for this process to complete
* Verify all `serials` have turned <mark style="background-color:green;">green</mark>.

<details>

<summary>Some serials are red?</summary>

Red values indicate the spoofer was *unable* to spoof those components for whatever reason.&#x20;

* follow the [Getting Started](/1pc-guides/1pc-getting-started/quickstart.md) guide
  * if that doesn't work, [Reinstall Windows](/1pc-guides/resources/resources/windows-guides/reinstall-windows.md)

</details>

<details>

<summary>Some serials are white/grey?</summary>

These are serials/values that do **not** need to be changed. Disregard these.

</details>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.dexa.im/1pc-guides/tools/hardware-id-spoofer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
