LTSC?</strong><br />
It will be officially released in 2nd half of 2024, more <a

Insider build ISO for Windows 11 LTSC has been leaked but we recommend
not installing it for general use because its authenticity can not be
verified and the build is not stable.</p></li>

is not activating it?</strong><br />
Microsoft doesnt provide the full LTSC version for free, instead, it
provides an evaluation copy that works for 90 days and can not be
activated. You need to install the full version from <a
href="genuine-installation-media.html">here</a> to be able to
activate.</p></li>

No.</p></li>
2023-01-11 12:19:43 +01:00
<li><p><strong>I changed my Windows edition from Home to Pro and now
Windows is deactivated.</strong><br />
Run HWID activation to activate Pro. Each edition requires separate
activation.</p></li>

<li><p><strong>Is MAS safe? How can I know if there is any
2023-03-16 19:09:16 +01:00
malware?</strong><br />
2024-01-24 02:12:44 +01:00
MAS is fully <a href="index.html#MAS_Latest_Release">open-source</a>.
You can open the batch files with Notepad and verify it. It has many
users/stars on GitHub. You can even perform the activation manually,
2023-10-26 22:36:23 +02:00
check the Docs section for instructions.</p></li>
2023-09-25 15:45:25 +02:00
<li><p><strong>Can I link my Microsoft account safely with MAS
activation methods?</strong><br />
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
Yes.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Can I update Windows/Office after
activation?</strong><br />
Yes.</p></li>
2023-03-24 22:58:02 +01:00
<li><p><strong>Im in Russia and Office is not
downloading.</strong><br />
Check this <a href="bypass-russian-geoblock.html">guide</a>.</p></li>
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
<li><p><strong>Can I activate Office 365?</strong><br />
2023-10-26 22:36:23 +02:00
Yes, use the Ohook activation option. However, you cant get server-side
2024-01-24 02:12:44 +01:00
O365-specific features such as 1TB storage in OneDrive, though almost
all other features and 5GB storage in a free OneDrive account would work
2023-09-25 15:45:25 +02:00
fine.</p></li>
2024-04-03 23:56:34 +02:00
<li><p><strong>Why Office is showing the “Update License” button in the
file menu?<br />
</strong>It is appearing even for customers who have a genuine
subscription license and there is nothing to worry about. More <a
href="https://support.microsoft.com/office/update-license-button-29025197-58d9-4b17-acc1-99a45dabf330">info</a>.</p></li>
2024-01-24 02:12:44 +01:00
<li><p><strong>Can I get the Copilot feature in Office with MAS
activation?<br />
2024-04-03 23:56:34 +02:00
</strong>No. <a
href="https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/microsoft-copilot">Copilot</a>
is an additional plan that can be added to existing subscriptions of
Microsoft 365.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Can I get Python in Excel with MAS
activation?</strong><br />
<a
href="https://support.microsoft.com/office/introduction-to-python-in-excel-55643c2e-ff56-4168-b1ce-9428c8308545">Python
in Excel</a> is currently in the preview and its a server-side feature.
To get this feature, you need to switch the office update channel to the
<a
href="https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts/discussions/399#discussioncomment-8871527">Insider
build</a> and then you will be able to get a few tries to test it if you
dont have a Microsoft 365 subscription, meaning to get full access, you
need a subscription license and it wont work with MAS
activation.</p></li>
2023-10-26 22:36:23 +02:00
<li><p><strong>Im getting an Office is not genuine
banner.</strong><br />
2023-09-25 15:45:25 +02:00
Run Ohook activation from the latest MAS version.</p></li>
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
<li><p><strong>Can I delete the MAS folder after
activation?</strong><br />
2022-07-25 20:03:20 +02:00
Yes.</p></li>
2023-10-26 22:36:23 +02:00
<li><p><strong>How is MAS able to activate?</strong><br />
2022-08-10 19:01:29 +02:00
Read activation details in the Docs section.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Does MAS work for Windows 7/8.1?</strong><br />
2023-01-11 12:19:43 +01:00
The online KMS option works for Windows 7 Pro &amp; Enterprise (Not
2024-01-24 02:12:44 +01:00
Ultimate). All Windows 8/8.1 editions are supported by the Online KMS
2023-01-11 12:19:43 +01:00
option.</p></li>
<li><p><strong>Where can I donate?</strong><br />
2023-03-16 19:09:16 +01:00
MAS project doesnt accept donations and its free.<br />
2023-01-11 12:19:43 +01:00
Its because its a community project and involves many contributors,
2024-01-24 02:12:44 +01:00
splitting donations is not practical, and also because profiting from
2023-01-11 12:19:43 +01:00
piracy is not good.</p></li>
