<h2>Overview</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>How to use it? Please find the instructions <a
|
||
href="https://massgrave.dev">here</a>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>This Online KMS Activation script is a fork of abbodi1406’s <a
|
||
href="https://github.com/abbodi1406/KMS_VL_ALL_AIO/">KMS_VL_ALL</a></p></li>
|
||
<li><p>This fork’s purpose is to avoid having any KMS binary files and
|
||
activate Windows / Office using only transparent batch script with
|
||
online public KMS servers IP (Not hostname).</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>This script requires Internet for activation.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>KMS activates Windows / Office for 180 Days. For Windows Core /
|
||
ProWMC editions it is 30 / 45 Days.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>This script can activate both Retail and Volume Windows
|
||
installation.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>This script can activate C2R Retail and VL Office, but not 2010 /
|
||
2013 MSI Retail Office and UWP Office.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>This script skips the activation of any permanently /
|
||
Subscription / KMS38 activated product.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>As mentioned, KMS activates only for a limited period and it’s
|
||
not permanent, read below on how to achieve lifetime
|
||
activation.</p></li>

<h2>Activation Renewal</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>By design in the genuine <a
|
||
href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/tn-archive/ee939272(v=technet.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN#kms-overview">KMS</a>
|
||
activation method, the system contacts the registered server every 7
|
||
days, and if contacted successfully it will automatically renew and
|
||
reset the activation for the the full period of 180 days again, starting
|
||
from the day of successful contact. If the system cannot contact the
|
||
server, it will be deactivated after 180 days and it will remain
|
||
deactivated until contact can be restored.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>To get the lifetime activation, you need to do either one of the
|
||
below two things,</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
|
||
<li><p><strong>Manual Activation</strong><br />
|
||
Run the online KMS activation whenever required.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Activation Auto-Renewal</strong><br />
|
||
You can install the auto-renewal in the script.<br />
|
||
This method puts the following two files,<br />
|
||
<br />
|
||
<code>C:\ProgramData\Activation-Renewal\Activation_task.cmd</code></p>
|
||
<p><code>C:\ProgramData\Activation-Renewal\Info.txt</code></p>
|
||
<p>And creates a scheduled task (<code>\Activation-Renewal</code>) to
|
||
run the script every 7 days. This task registers the working KMS server
|
||
and triggers activation commands only for the installed Volume
|
||
products.<br />
|
||
The scheduled task runs only if the system is connected to the
|
||
Internet.</p></li>
|
||
</ol>

<div id="remarks" class="section level2">
|
||
<h2>Remarks</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>With KMS Activation, you can update Windows/Office without any
|
||
issues.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>What is left in the system in the activation process?</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p><strong>If Renewal Task is installed:</strong> After activation,
|
||
it leaves the KMS Server IP in the registry, which helps you to get the
|
||
global activation feature whereby the system auto-renews the activation.
|
||
About files and scheduled task, it has been mentioned above.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>If Renewal Task is NOT installed:</strong> It leaves a
|
||
non-existent IP 10.0.0.10 to avoid Office Not Genuine Banner
|
||
issue.</p></li>
|
||
</ul></li>
|
||
<li><p>This script includes the most-stable KMS servers (16) list from
|
||
all over the world. The server selection process is fully automatic.
|
||
Script randomly select a server, tests if it’s online, if yes then apply
|
||
the activation command, if fails, then retry this process maximum of
|
||
total 3 times for a product. Such redundancy makes sure that we get the
|
||
working KMS server any time.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>If your system date is incorrect (beyond 180 days) and you are
|
||
offline, the system will be deactivated, but will automatically
|
||
reactivate when you correct the system date.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>The advantage of Online KMS activation is that it doesn’t need
|
||
any KMS binary file and system can be activated using some manual
|
||
commands or transparent batch script files. So this is for those who
|
||
don’t like/have difficulties/trust issues in offline KMS because of its
|
||
binary files and antivirus detection’s.</p>
|
||
<p>But if you prefer offline KMS then checkout an open-source activator,

<h2>How does it work?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p><strong>What is KMS activation?</strong><br />
|
||
Key Management Service (KMS) is a genuine activation method provided by
|
||
Microsoft for volume licensing customers (organizations, schools or
|
||
governments). The machines in those environments (called KMS clients)
|
||
are activated via the Environment KMS Host Server (authorized
|
||
Microsoft’s licensing key), instead of Microsoft activation servers. By
|
||
design, the KMS activation period lasts up to 180 Days (6 Months) at
|
||
max, with the ability to renew and reinstate the period at any time.
|
||
Activation renewal automatically happens every 7 days if the client can
|
||
connect to the KMS host server. For more info, see <a
|
||
href="https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/Help/FAQDetails.aspx?id=201#215">here</a>
|
||
and <a
|
||
href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee939272(v=ws.10).aspx#kms-overview">here</a>.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>How are we getting it for free?</strong><br />
|
||
Developers reverse-engineered the KMS Host Server setup, so now anyone
|
||
can host a KMS server and activate the systems without any limitations.
|
||
KMS activators such as KMSpico, MTK, KMS_VL_ALL, etc., locally create an
|
||
emulated KMS Host Server and activate Windows and Office.</p>
|
||
<p>This locally-emulated KMS server requires you to run binary files
|
||
which often cause anti-virus alerts (false positives).</p>
|
||
<p>Another method of KMS activation is publicly-available Online KMS
|
||
Host Server. In this method, the site hosts the emulated KMS server and
|
||
anyone can simply use this server to activate their systems, there is no
|
||
requirement for running any software on your system.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>Is Online KMS activation safe?</strong><br />
|
||
Yes.<br />
|
||
Let’s go into the details. In the KMS protocol, there is a relationship
|
||
of host and client. The client system asks the host system to grant the
|
||
activation, and the host system grants the activation if it’s eligible.
|
||
In this process, the client system shares some of the system’s data,
|
||
which is not sensitive in nature. According to the <a
|
||
href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee939272(v=ws.10).aspx#kms-overview">Microsoft
|
||
document</a>, the client system shares the following data with the host
|
||
system: Client FQDN, CMID, time-stamp, Product license state, expiration
|
||
time and IP address</p>
|
||
<p>In this shared info, the important part is your IP address. Below are
|
||
some things regarding it which you should know.</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><p>Sharing your IP while going online is not a security concern. You
|
||
can not go online to visit any website without having to share your IP
|
||
address.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>IP addresses do not necessarily represent a specific person.
|
||
Internet Service Providers (ISP’s) mostly use dynamic IP, which means
|
||
the same IP address can be used by many different persons, and a dynamic
|
||
IP address is periodically reassigned to different people all the time.
|
||
But a static IP address is permanently assigned to a unique subscriber.
|
||
The Internet Service Provider (ISP) won’t reveal that information unless
|
||
there is a legal reason to do so.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>Microsoft has never tried to go after Home users in legal cases
|
||
for using a few pirated activations (not talking about stolen legal
|
||
keys) simply because the cost of legal actions would be much higher than
|
||
the amount of money gained by forcing a few people to purchase
|
||
activations.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p>No law enforcement is going to take action based on the IP’s from
|
||
all over the world without the consent from the Microsoft
|
||
itself.</p></li>
|
||
</ul></li>
|
||
