: Turn your security software back on once the process is complete.

: Because these tools use scripts to bypass licensing checks, Windows Defender or other antivirus software often flag them as "Malware" or "PUP" (Potentially Unwanted Program). You will likely need to disable real-time protection temporarily to run the file. 2. Extracting the File

: Click the button for the product you wish to activate and wait for the "Successful" message in the console log. 4. Post-Activation

: Right-click the .exe file (e.g., KMSAuto.exe ) and select Run as administrator to ensure it has the necessary permissions to modify system registry keys.

: Most KMS tools offer to create a task in the Task Scheduler to automatically renew the activation every 10–180 days, as KMS activations are not inherently permanent.

Files labeled "KMSAuto" are frequently used as "wrappers" for actual malware, including info-stealers and ransomware. For a safer open-source alternative, many users recommend checking the Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS) on GitHub.

: Since the file is usually a .rar or .zip archive, use a tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the contents.

Downloading and using KMSAuto carries significant security risks, as it is a third-party activation tool often flagged by security software. For safe, official activation methods, Microsoft provides a guide on configuring a KMS host for volume licensed versions of Office.
