Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS) is an open-source solution for activating Microsoft Windows and Office products. This activation script provides various methods, including HWID, Ohook, TSforge, KMS38, and Online KMS, offering flexibility and advanced troubleshooting capabilities.
How to Use Microsoft Activation Scripts
MAS offers two primary methods for execution: PowerShell for modern Windows systems and a traditional method compatible with older versions.
PowerShell Activation (Windows 8 and Later)
This method leverages the power of PowerShell for seamless script execution.
-
Open PowerShell: Right-click the Windows Start Menu and select “PowerShell” or “Terminal.”
-
Execute the Activation Script: Copy and paste the following command into PowerShell and press Enter:
irm https://get.activated.win | iex
Alternatively, this command can be used (though it may be deprecated in the future):
irm https://massgrave.dev/get | iex
This command downloads and executes the necessary script.
-
Select Activation Method: Choose option (1) for HWID activation of Windows or option (2) for Ohook activation of Office.
