Update 4: Security Updates
Starting with update 1.3-beta-1, Security Updates have been created. This system will notify you if a security breach has occurred in MSActivate or it's dependencies. This is a great step in preventing a hack simular to xz-utils or another sort of sophisticated, planned attack. Any version above 1.3.0-beta-1 (1.3.0-beta-1) will get the error.
What's Changed
- Security update system, the major point of 1.3 release is done by @bendaws in #3
What's being worked on
- Improving this system. I have recently got a new PC so I will be resuming development very shortly.

Update 3 (Milestone 1): Security Updates (Summary)
Note
Changes for this release are not found in master
. Please see 1.3
for the source code for this beta release.
This is another great step towards making MSActivate better software. Starting with 1.3.1-beta-1, Security Update notices in case of a breach in MSActivate (or its dependencies) will automatically give off a warning. These are skippable, but they launch before any application uses these dependencies.
What's changed?
- This commit added in a security system.
- Updates to documentation about the Security Policy (
SECURITY.md
) andREADME.md
.
What's being worked on?
- .NET dependency breaches. In this case, MSActivate will give an error and delete itself from the system.

Supports:

Activator is built with .NET 8.0, however it is self-contained and does not need to be installed for activator.exe to work.
This is a visual rendition of this websites KMS servers. This will automatically find your product key based on a selected version and install it, as well as set the KMS servers and activate Windows.
Note
You may need to restart your PC to activate Windows.
