How to Install KMSPico

- Temporarily disable Windows Defender/antivirus software. (IMPORTANT! Otherwise, KMSPico will be unable to modify Windows Registry entries that activate the Microsoft Windows/Office) To disable Windows Defender Goto: Start and Search for “Virus and Threat Protection” > Manage Settings and Turn off “Real-Time Protection”.

How to Activate Windows with KMSPico (Video)
Here is a simple explanation video created by the KMSPico development team to help you with the installation and activation on a Windows 10 machine. The same method can be used for Windows 11 and other Windows versions as well.
What is KMSPico?
KMSPico is a tool developed by TeamDaz (also known as Daz) to emulate the original Microsoft product activation server known as KMS. This “Key Management Server” is a built-in service in every version of Windows released after 2006. Upto today, Microsoft uses the same technology to verify the authenticity of the license key of someone’s PC. KMSPico took the advantage of this to create its own KMS Server to bypass the Windows Genuine Validation check and keep the product activated without using a real license key. This is pretty neat and mind-blowing compared to other Microsoft windows activators available.
How KMSPico works?
To understand the way how KMSPico works, you need to have a basic idea of Microsoft’s software licensing system.
Not only Microsoft but all big software companies use a web-based software licensing server to verify and validate consumer product activations. Microsoft uses its in-house developed server named “Key Management Service” to do these product activations in real-time. What KMSPico does is replace these original KMS servers with their own so you no longer need a unique retail product key to activate Windows. After this change is successfully applied to your system files, KMSPico uses volume license keys issued for company organisations to make your activation permanent. The entire process is done with a click of a button and all you have to do is wait for the success message!
Is KMSPico Safe?
You may wonder if KMSPico can harm your computer with malware or viruses. But don’t worry, if you get the tool from a reliable source, like the official KMSPico website or a well-known download site, you should be safe from malware. The best thing to note is we have not received any complaints about our activator over the past 15 years.
Outcoming Windows Defender Blocks
Windows defender now blocks KMSPico. If you experience this problem, please disable Windows Defender Real-Time Protection and Tamper Protection to download and Install KMSPico!

My Win10 is already (officially) activated.
Can I use KMSPico for Office 2013 professional only, leaving my existing, activated Win10 key being untouched?
Hi, Once you run the KMSPico, it automatically detects the activated windows and it won’t be affected.
hello i have a question, my kms pico previously got deleted by the win defender, and now its shows that my windows will expire soon within next month (june 14th). So, do i need to re-apply the activation using this kms pico or is there any other way around to solve this? Thanks
Hi, You have to disable Windows Defender before running the KMSPico. This will solve the issue.
Thank you for your reply. Before using the kms, should I remove the license key first using /upk in cmd or just simply use the kms right away (before the expiration date)?
Maybe your virus guard is preventing kmspico to extract. Try disabling your antivirus protection.
Does it require the machine to be connected to the internet for KMSPico 10.2.1 to successfully activate my office 2013
Office 2013 and earlier versions can be activated offline.
Thank you, this works a treat. Got my windows 10 enterprise fully registered. Thanks for the great work.
Does it activates Windows and Office permanently and I won’t get a message after 30 days or 3 months to re-activate windows? Please advise
Hi Billy, Yes. It completely activates windows and you won’t see those messages again 🙂
can i update windows 10 after installing kmspico?
Yes, You can install all upcoming windows updates even after using Kmspico.
Does this work for MS Office 2016? Please do tell me how.
Hi Justin, Yes. It activates Office 2016 as well.
can kmspico v10 be installed on win7 ultimate 32bit. if not then is there any version compatible with win7? i have installed office 2013 on win7 and need to activate it
Yes. KMSPico is backward compatible. So you can install it on Windows 7.
Heyy…
Is this working for the latest version of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit ?
Hi Zack, Yes. It’s tested and confirmed to work with Windows 10 Pro 64bit.
Why is it prompting me to burn kmspico to a dvd instead of automatically running as your instructions describe?
Hi, The .ISO image can be opened by Windows just like a ZIP file. Do you have any DVD burning software installed on your PC?
Hello!
Is this working for the latest version of Windows 10 Pro already?
Hi, Yes. you can now activate windows 10.
Thanks for the KMSPico v10.0.4 for a hassle-free activation of my Windows 7 64bit and Office 2013. It’s very easy to use unlike the other KMS activator that I tried.

Hey, You don’t need anything else to make it permanent. 🙂
will i get updates as genuine windows 8.1 user
Yes, You’ll get all those windows updates as usual.
Hi!
Thanks a ton for this amazing tool! Saves a lot of money for so many people over the globe!!
Two questions:
Is it safe to download any Microsoft Office updates after using KMSpico? I have Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013.
Secondly, some sites say it can cause changes in the system files. I had cracked my Office once before with a friend’s help (I don’t know what technique he used) and after a few weeks, my genuine copy of Windows 8 suddenly went into Trial Version mode and kept saying that my license would expire soon and even KMSpico couldn’t reactivate it (since it was a genuine copy), so I had to format my PC. Will KMSpico ever cause such changes in my OS?
Thanks in advance!
Hi
I tried installing your software but it aborts the installation with the following message… network error encountered, aborting installation.
My anti virus was turned off before trying, even disabled my firewall temporarily.
Help please.
Hi, thank you!
I want to ask whether it can be used to activate windows 8.1 Enterprise version.
I used the tool to activate Office 2013 Earlier was stated,that one needs to keep this tool installed But that was in relation of activating the OS
Do I need to keep the tool also if I only used it to activate Office 2013?
Thanks
Hi guys, Before downloading i want to know that my pc is windows 7 (ultimate) and i wanna install microsoft office 13 and visual studio 13 using kmspico. Please can you tell that this can work….
Yes, No problem with installing office 2013 on Windows 7.
Does the last version of Kmspico activates Windows 7 or it’s just activates Win8/8.1 ?
Hi Ziad, Latest version works with every version of Windows and Office products. 🙂
Sir, Does it work with evaluation copies downloaded from internet?
Yes, It does. That’s how many people use our tool.
network error… installation aborted…
emmm what’s??? I don’t have an internet connection…
Hello Lionel, You need to have a working internet connection while the installation. hope it helps. 🙂
I have KMSPico 9.1.3 already installed on PC everything is working fine, do I need to update to KMSPico 9.2.3 ?
Hi Ian, If everything is working fine, no need to update it 🙂
Hey,Well Done.Your Tool Successfully Activate My Windows 8 With Media Center.Can I Ask Question? Is KMSPico activation permanent?

Sorry. I don’t know how to use KMSPico. I’m trying to activate my Office Professional Plus 2014. Thanks for the advance help. 🙂
Hi Regine, Just install and restart your PC once the installation is finished. It’s that simple 🙂
Can I use this to Activate Windows Server 2008 (not r2)? Thnaks.
Yes Seshan, It will automatically detect and install the suitable version.
I totally love this program, the only thing I don’t like about it is the sound effects. Is there a way to disable them and if not, could you please add an option/disable them completely. I find them pretty annoying.
And as many others have said, you need to develop a version for upcoming Windows 9 too.
Thanks!
Hi Kenith, We will add an option to disable sound effects. 😀 Thanks for the motivation!
Is it possible to activate only Office through KMSPico, considering I already own a registered version of Windows 8/8.1?
The reason for my question is because when I crack Office through KMSPico, it automatically cracks Windows too, so I can’t update it (i.e. I can’t update it from Windows 8 to 8.1, but I can do the basic updates available on Windows Updater)
Hey Cardell, The latest version of KMSPico scan and detect already activated products and skip them automatically. So no need to worry about existing licensed softwares. 🙂
I send a comment just to say thanks! This tool works for me anytime on Windows 8/8.1 both and Office 2010/2013 activation. Thanks KMSpico Team for develop possibilitys to inpossibilitys people!
Hi!
I tried to download KMSPico, but if I click on the green button it doesn’t happen anything. Same if I click on the link in the description.
Isn’t it available anymore?
Hey, Did you try disabling your Antivirus software? Some antivirus software wont allow it to download or execute.
can this kms pico activate the windows 8.1 enterprise evaluation for 90 days
to full version
Hi, I am buying a laptop with no OS, but I have a disk for 8.1 pro. Will this be able to activate the non-activated disk?
Hello,
I’m using Office 365, and I’d like to activate it. I was using it just nice, but since today it crashed, I don’t know if it updated or something, but now I can’t save any docs. I’ve download the last KMSpico version from here, but nothing happened.
Thanks!
Using KMSPico on a crashed install will not help. First try to re-install Office and then use our tool to activate.
Can I activate win 8 with it then update it to win 8.1.
Yes, you can activate your current version with KMSPico and upgrade to the newest Windows version.
Hi, Glad you found our little tool useful. You need to keep it installed to keep windows genuine.
KMSPico latest version is working successfully… I install win 8.1 on my PC and activated successfully through KMspic 9.2.3..
does it activate window for few days or permanently???? I mean how much time??
Hi Beelz,
It’s a permanent activation patch. Also you’re safe to use windows update as well. Hope it answers your question.
