If the existing activation of Microsoft Windows 11 fails after updating the operating system or BIOS, this situation can be fixed. A step-by-step guide is provided below.
Why does activation fail?
Activation can fail for two different reasons. However, the solution to the problem is suitable for both cases. The Windows 11 license is disrupted when a new update is released and the existing activation is simply removed. Also, if the key is tied to the hardware, it may become invalid when updating the BIOS, as this changes the hardware configuration.
How to fix the error?
With the theoretical part over, we can move on to figuring out how to restore the activation of Windows 11 Pro:
- First, we need to download the special application KMSAuto Net. This program effectively handles free licensing of Windows and Microsoft Office. Download the archive and extract its contents using the attached password.

As a result, the activation process will start, and its progress will be displayed at the bottom of the window. Soon, you will see a message that the license has been successfully installed.
