Using KMS Manually to Activate Software
This page is intended for technical support providers and network
administrators. If you're not one of those, you should talk to your TSP
or net admin before proceeding. The concept behind the procedure on this
page is explained on our main KMS page.
This page describes how to manually activate products. With this method, you'll need to run commands on each machine - and for each software package - during the 30 day grace period after installation. If you are using virtual machines for testing and cross-compatibility on Macintosh computers, you'll need to use the manual method in those circumstances.
To use this method, first install the software (Windows or Microsoft Office). As part of that process you'll be informed that you have 30 days to activate the product. Complete the steps below during that 30-day period.
This method assumes that Windows or Office has never been activated on this machine before. If your machine had previously been activated with the earlier MAK activation method, please instead follow the instructions to switch from MAK to KMS activation.
Activate a Windows Operating System: Windows 7, Windows 8, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2, or Server 2012:
Activate Microsoft Office (2010 or 2013)
