Deposit CID

Overview

How to use it? Instructions can be found here.
The Deposit CID option activates an installed Windows or Office product by depositing a Confirmation ID (CID) into the system.
This is the final step of phone activation. Once you have a CID (obtained via the CID Batch API or CID Visual API), you use this option to actually apply it and complete activation.
This option requires the product to already be installed and in an unactivated state.

There are two scripts involved in this process.

This script handles product discovery and CID retrieval in one step. It:

Queries WMI for installed but unactivated Windows (SoftwareLicensingProduct) and Office (OfficeSoftwareProtectionProduct) products that have a partial product key.
Checks each discovered product for phone activation eligibility by querying the SL API for the msft:sl/EUL/PHONE/PUBLIC policy. Products that don't support phone activation are skipped.
For each eligible product, it collects the product name, class name, Activation ID, and Installation ID, then calls GetCID.ps1 to automatically retrieve the Confirmation ID.

Once a CID is obtained, this script deposits it into the system to complete activation. It:

Accepts the WMI class name, Activation ID, Installation ID, and Confirmation ID as parameters.
Queries WMI to locate the specific installed product matching the given Activation ID and Installation ID.
Calls DepositOfflineConfirmationId on the matched product to apply the CID and activate it.
Reports whether the deposit succeeded or failed with a return value.

On Windows 7 / Vista, or when an OSPP-based Office installation is present, administrator rights are required to deposit the CID.
