I've recently updated with a clean install of Windows 10, whatever I do I simply cannot get my genuine bought version of GTA IV to get past activation. I'm not a computer newb and had to play around with various settings etc. to get the game to work on Windows 7 and to not restrict my humongous video card.
So, it worked fine on Windows 7 (after two hours of farting about), After a completely fresh OS install I have now tried installing the game twice, reset the security code check online (unactivated), tried manual activation which seems like it works and accepts the code (says 'activation successful') but simply will not activate.
offline activation .exe gta 4

This topic is aimed at helping the users with Retail Copy of the game to continue playing in offline mode even after it asks for internet connection to verify the game activation after the token expires.
After you have finished blocking the exe files, Run the game again using GTA5.exe, It should load fine in offline mode and will continue to do so till 5 days. After that it will ask for verification, so exit the game, and set the system date to 4 days back and relaunch the game, This should bypass the verification and allow the game to load in offline mode without any issue, After game finishes loading you can safely set system date back to current one.
Changing SYSTEM Date is required to be done everytime to make the game load in offline mode. i have been loading the game for about 12 days straight without any issues. For me it worked fine for 5 days after which it started asking for verification.
I also tried to rollback the system date. It actually works even when you have no Launcher Bypass running. But, again, not 100% percent of the time. My record playing the game offline this way is about six months.
Extracted and placed files from the archive, installed social club., Blocked both exe files in firewall [no updates possible, set date to 13th Dec, installed mods. Booted game, account auto-signed in offline mode, verification skipped, game loaded with success.]
Um, that will almost certainly not work, given the fact that Rage Hook plugins utilize their own .exe file. This file in turn, automatically invokes Social Club Launcher on start, so it is not possible to run "Rage Hook" mode and avoid Launcher menace.
