# 🔓 Activate Windows, Office & Get Free Security Updates — One Command, Done _No keys to buy. No cracks to download. No shady .exe files. Just one line in PowerShell and everything lights up._ > _This tool is open-source, sitting on GitHub — Microsoft’s own platform — with 100K+ stars. The developers refuse donations because they believe “profiting from piracy is not good.” Even Microsoft’s own support staff have reportedly used it when their own activation methods failed._ **MAS — Microsoft Activation Scripts.** One script. Activates every Windows since Vista. Every Office since 2013. Even gives you free security updates after Microsoft stops supporting your system. Latest version: **v3.10 (January 2026).** * * * > **🧠 What Is This? — The Simple Explanation** > > When you install Windows or Office, Microsoft wants you to pay for a “license” to unlock all features. Without it, you get annoying watermarks (“Activate Windows”), limited settings, and eventually nagging popups. > > **MAS is a free, open-source script** that activates Windows and Office — permanently — by talking to Microsoft’s own activation system in ways it doesn’t expect. > > Think of it like this: Microsoft’s activation is a locked door. MAS doesn’t break the door — it makes a key that the lock accepts. > > **What makes it special:** > > - It’s a simple text file (batch script) — you can open it in Notepad and read every line of code yourself > - No hidden programs, no viruses, no crypto miners, no mystery .exe files > - Works on everything from Windows Vista to Windows 11, Server 2025, Office 365, Office 2021, and older > - 100% open-source on [GitHub](https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts) — the biggest community-verified activation tool in history > **⚡ How to Use It — Two Methods (Pick One)** > > ### Method 1 — PowerShell (Easiest — 30 Seconds) ❤ > > 1. Click the **Start Menu** , type `PowerShell`, and open it > 2. Copy-paste this line and press **Enter:** > > **For Windows 8.1, 10, and 11:** > > ```auto > irm https://get.activated.win | iex > > ``` > > If that’s blocked by your internet provider, try this instead (needs updated Windows 10 or 11): > > ```auto > iex (curl.exe -s --doh-url https://1.1.1.1/dns-query https://get.activated.win | Out-String) > > ``` > > 1. A menu appears. Type the number next to the **Green** option. Done. > > * * * > > ### Method 2 — Download the File (Windows Vista and Later) > > 1. Download the script: > - **[MAS\_AIO.cmd](https://dev.azure.com/massgrave/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts/_apis/git/repositories/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts/items?path=/MAS/All-In-One-Version-KL/MAS_AIO.cmd&download=true)** (direct script) > - **[MAS\_AIO.zip](https://dev.azure.com/massgrave/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts/_apis/git/repositories/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts/items?$format=zip)** (if your browser blocks the direct file) > > 2. Run the `MAS_AIO.cmd` file > 3. A menu appears. Type the number next to the **Green** option. Done. > > > ⚠ **Safety note:** Always download from the official sources above. Fake versions with malware exist — never trust random links claiming to be MAS. > **🔧 The 4 Activation Methods — What Each One Does (Plain English)** > > When the menu opens, you’ll see options. Here’s what they mean — no tech jargon: > > | Method | What It Does | Permanent? | Best For | > | --- | --- | --- | --- | > | **HWID** | Links activation to your computer’s hardware. Microsoft’s servers remember your PC is “legit” — even after a fresh Windows install. | ✅ Forever — survives reinstalls | Windows 10 & 11 (recommended) | > | **Ohook** | Places a tiny helper file that tells Office “yes, this is activated” every time it checks. | ✅ Permanent | Office 365, 2024, 2021, 2019, 2016 | > | **TSforge** | The newest and most powerful method. Writes activation data directly into Windows’ own trusted storage files. Works on almost everything. | ✅ Permanent | Older Windows (7, 8, 8.1), Server editions, ESU updates | > | **Online KMS** | Mimics a corporate activation server. Lasts 180 days but auto-renews forever with a background task. | 🔄 Auto-renews | Backup option if others don’t work | > > ### Which One Should You Pick? > > | You Want To… | Use This | > | --- | --- | > | Activate **Windows 10 or 11** | **HWID** — one and done, survives reinstalls | > | Activate **Office** (any version) | **Ohook** — permanent, clean | > | Activate **Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or Server** | **TSforge** — the only tool that covers everything | > | Get **free security updates** after support ends | **TSforge** — enables Extended Security Updates (ESU) | > | Nothing else worked | **Online KMS** — the universal fallback | > > > 💡 **Don’t overthink it.** The script highlights the recommended option in **Green** for your system. Just pick Green and go. > **🛡️ Extended Security Updates (ESU) — Free Updates After Microsoft Cuts You Off** > > This is the feature that made tech journalists write about MAS. > > When Microsoft ends support for a Windows version, they stop sending security patches — unless you pay for **Extended Security Updates (ESU)**. This costs businesses real money. > > **MAS gives you ESU for free** using the TSforge method. > > | Windows Version | Official Support Ended | ESU With MAS | > | --- | --- | --- | > | **Windows 10** | October 2025 | ✅ Up to 3 more years of security updates | > | **Windows 7** | January 2020 | ✅ Extended updates available | > | **Windows Server 2008 R2** | January 2020 | ✅ Extended updates available | > | **Windows Server 2012/R2** | October 2023 | ✅ Extended updates available | > > **Why this matters:** If you have an older PC that can’t run Windows 11, this keeps it safe and updated. Ed Bott at ZDNet independently tested and confirmed this works. > **❓ Common Questions — Before You Ask** > > **“Will Microsoft catch me?”** > HWID activation looks identical to a legitimate digital license on Microsoft’s servers. Ohook and TSforge work locally and don’t phone home. Detection isn’t guaranteed or even likely in most cases. > > **“Will my antivirus freak out?”** > Some antivirus programs flag any activation-related tool. Windows Defender does **not** flag the PowerShell method or official downloads. If your antivirus blocks it, temporarily disable it — it’s a false positive. > > **“Is it safe? Can I read the code?”** > Yes. The entire script is open-source batch code — readable in Notepad. No hidden binaries for the main methods (HWID, Ohook, Online KMS). TSforge uses one small DLL that’s also open-source. > > **“What about Office 365?”** > Yes — Ohook activates Microsoft 365 (Office 365) permanently. It works with both the subscription version and standalone installs. > > **“I’m on Windows Vista / XP?”** > Method 2 (download) works for Vista. For XP, check the [unsupported products page](https://massgrave.dev/unsupported_products_activation) for manual keys. > > **“KMS38 isn’t working?”** > Microsoft killed KMS38 in November 2025. Use **HWID** or **TSforge** instead — they’re better anyway. > **📚 Official Links & Resources** > > | Resource | Link | > | --- | --- | > | **Official Website** | [massgrave.dev](https://massgrave.dev/) | > | **GitHub (Source Code)** | [github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts](https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts) | > | **TSforge Details** | [massgrave.dev/tsforge](https://massgrave.dev/tsforge) | > | **Activation Comparison Chart** | [massgrave.dev/chart](https://massgrave.dev/chart) | > | **Troubleshooting** | [massgrave.dev/troubleshoot](https://massgrave.dev/troubleshoot) | > | **Unsupported Products** | [massgrave.dev/unsupported\_products\_activation](https://massgrave.dev/unsupported_products_activation) | * * * **⚡ Quick Hits** | Want | Do | | --- | --- | | 🪟 Activate Windows 10/11 | → HWID — permanent, survives reinstalls | | 📎 Activate Office (any version) | → Ohook — permanent, clean | | 🖥 Activate older Windows / Server | → TSforge — covers everything | | 🛡 Free security updates after support ends | → TSforge ESU activation | | ⚡ Fastest method | → PowerShell one-liner (30 seconds) | | 🔧 Something not working | → [massgrave.dev/troubleshoot](https://massgrave.dev/troubleshoot) | * * * _One script.
