## Overview

IASL is a Windows command-script tool whose documented workflow is to elevate, present a menu, and perform IDM download, registry cleanup, activation, and extension-registration tasks. The README also describes version validation and a combined activation-plus-extension option. Source excerpts were unavailable, so the relationships below reflect only those documented behaviors; implementation details are not inferred.

Main entry points: [`IASL.cmd`](https://github.com/smart-rwl/idm-activation-script/blob/main/IASL.cmd) (Menu and validation), [`src/data.bin`](https://github.com/smart-rwl/idm-activation-script/blob/main/src/data.bin) (Activated IDM executable), [`src/dataHlp.bin`](https://github.com/smart-rwl/idm-activation-script/blob/main/src/dataHlp.bin) (IDM help executable), [`src/registry.bin`](https://github.com/smart-rwl/idm-activation-script/blob/main/src/registry.bin) (Activation registry values)
