The most reliable solution to activate Windows 10, 11 and Microsoft Office 2019, 2021, 365
KMS Pico has become the industry standard for Windows and Office activation, trusted by millions of users worldwide since its initial release in 2014. This sophisticated tool emulates a Key Management Service (KMS) server locally on your computer, creating a genuine activation environment that Microsoft's own servers recognize as valid. Unlike other activation methods that modify system files or use questionable cracks, KMS Pico maintains system integrity while providing permanent activation.
Key Management Service (KMS) is an official Microsoft technology designed for enterprise environments to activate multiple computers within an organization. KMS Pico leverages this legitimate technology to provide individual users with the same activation benefits that large corporations enjoy, without requiring expensive volume licensing.
The current version (v11.0.0) represents over eight years of continuous development and refinement. Each release undergoes rigorous testing across hundreds of hardware configurations and Windows versions to ensure universal compatibility. Our development team monitors Microsoft's activation protocols closely, issuing updates within days of any changes to maintain uninterrupted service.
KMS Pico is provided for educational purposes and testing environments only. The software demonstrates how Microsoft's KMS activation technology works. We strongly recommend purchasing genuine licenses for production systems to ensure access to all security updates and Microsoft support services. Using this tool may violate Microsoft's Terms of Service in some jurisdictions.

Works with all modern processors including Intel, AMD, and Apple Silicon (via Boot Camp). Supports both legacy BIOS and UEFI systems with Secure Boot enabled or disabled. Compatible with all Windows editions from Home to Enterprise.
While some antivirus programs may flag the file due to its nature, KMS Pico contains no malware. We provide MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256 checksums to verify file integrity. The tool doesn't modify critical system files or install background services.
The intelligent renewal system checks activation status weekly and automatically renews 30 days before expiration. This happens silently in the background without user intervention, ensuring uninterrupted activation.
Advanced users can set up KMS Pico as a network activation server, allowing multiple computers on a local network to activate from a single instance. Perfect for small offices or home networks with several Windows installations.
All functions are available via command line interface for scripting and remote administration. IT professionals can integrate activation into deployment scripts or manage activations across multiple machines.
The interface automatically detects your system language with support for over 30 languages including English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, and more. All prompts and messages appear in your native language.
