HWID refers to hardware identifiers. In Windows, these help identify devices. A spoofer is intended to change some reported identifiers; the data it changes and the conditions it supports depend on the product.
Temporary and persistent changes
Temporary options
Check when the effect ends and whether you must run the product again after a restart. The Temporary label does not replace the developer's instructions.
Permanent options
Check which settings change, whether they persist after a restart and how to restore them. The Permanent label does not imply support for every PC.
Limits and account restrictions
Changing hardware identifiers does not guarantee removal of an account restriction or make third-party game software safe to use. Launch methods, limits and warnings depend on the specific product.
