    A Windows and Office activator using HWID / Ohook / KMS38 / Online KMS activation methods, with a focus on open-source code and fewer antivirus detections.

          KMS requires phoning back to MS periodically to keep the license activated. It’s still “permanent” because there’s no limit on duration (as of now at least).

          HWID activation registers a hardware ID in MS servers to permanently license it. That means no renewal, just forever activation that survives reinstalls.

    I’ve always wondered about this, doesn’t Microsoft know when people use this? Or is it just an anonymous number among legit ones and Microsoft can’t tell a difference?

      MS servers cannot tell the difference between where the HWID came from. If it’s there, MS treats it as legitimate. As if they issued it themselves.

      They probably can but only after manual analysis.

    What’s the advantage over the existing supposedly permanent activation method?

      Microsoft turned that one off completely for new builds of windows so the fact that it works is the main advantage.

      just a different way to do that. the previous being affected by microsoft’s back-end changes in their move to (finally) kill-off using win7/8 keys for new win10/11 activations.

    Okay, I’m dumb. I’ve never used this. It seems it’s a script. How safe is it? How exactly does it work? (i want to try it out lol)

      This is to activate windows, so if your windows is already activated you probably dont need it.

      Anyway, essentially you run the script in powershell and select the activation you want, currently option 1 is the new one from this post and should permanently activate windows.

      Should be safe afaik, i’ve read that MS employees themselves use this script if their own tools fail. I’ve certainly never had an issue with it, but again they could have installed some spying software and i would be none the wiser. Gotta pray the github wizards audited it for us

    I’ve never heard of this tool. Does it need a valid Windows license, or is it a permanent zero-cost peg-leg discount?
