Bulk Management of HWIDs

For bulk management of HWIDs, IDScan.net recommends to use the App Manager CLI in conjunction with the HWID Generation Tool.

  1. Push HWInfo to all target devices.
  2. Generate a HID file on each device: HWInfo --json --name <device_name> >device_name.json
  3. Collect all .json files into a single directory on the management host.
  4. Bind all devices to a license in one command: AppManagerCli license attachFile <serial_number> *.json
