How Does KMS Activation Work?
KMS activation is an internal network activation solution designed by Microsoft for large enterprises or institutions. It allows companies to manage software licenses automatically through an internal KMS server, achieving permanent activation of devices. Although originally intended for enterprise intranets, technical methods have allowed public users to connect to open KMS servers for similar activation results. KMS activation has a 180-day validity period, with the system automatically attempting to renew every 7 days. As long as the device connects to the internet within the 180-day period, the activation status will remain valid, effectively achieving permanent activation. When using KMS activation, it is advisable to remain discreet and be aware of the legality and security of the sources.
Which Versions of Windows or Office Do Not Support KMS Activation?
There are various versions of the Windows operating system, including the developer-oriented MSDN version, the OEM version for laptop manufacturers, the COEM version for retail disks, the RTL version for retail, and the VOL version for enterprises, governments, and educational institutions that purchase in bulk. The VOL version is suitable for KMS activation, while the RTL version requires a key replacement upgrade to the VOL version to use KMS activation. Users can check the image name or use specific commands in the command prompt to confirm whether their version of Windows or Office supports KMS activation as a VOL version.
Is It Genuine After Activation? How Should You Choose an Activation Tool?
Genuine software is a legal concept that refers to software legally authorized for use. For users who wish to use software for free but are concerned about issues with cracked versions, what they are usually looking for is "original," meaning an official version that has not been tampered with. The preferred activation method is to use a retail key or a volume MAK key, followed by KMS activation. Although there are cracking tools available, they pose security risks and are not recommended. While Microsoft and its founder, Bill Gates, are widely recognized for their philanthropy, this does not justify abusing their product licensing policies. Therefore, when possible, you should purchase and support genuine software to respect the efforts of software developers.
