HWID activation is a licensing method where the key is tied to specific hardware. This approach is most commonly used with laptops. Below, we provide a step-by-step guide on how to bypass such a license and get the full version of any Windows, including 10 or 11, as well as Microsoft Office, for free.
What is HWID activation?
Developers bind the license to the hardware to prevent the same serial number from being used on multiple machines. This approach also encourages the purchase of new versions of the operating system from Microsoft since the key from an old laptop does not fit a new device. Users are less interested in the theory, so let’s move on and consider the activation process.
Specific Example
The application we will use allows you to get the full licensed version of Windows 10 and 11, as well as Microsoft Office, for free. Let’s get started:
- Download the program and unpack the archive. Then launch our activator.
| Developer: | Ratiborus |
| License: | Free |
| Language: | English, Russian |
| Supported platforms: | Windows 10, 11 x86 – x64 (32, 64 Bit) |
W10 Digital Activation Program
Password for the archive: 12345
- In the screenshot above, you can see two executable files. The first should be run for 32 Bit Windows, and the second for 64-bit operating systems. You can check the architecture of your OS by pressing “Win” + “Pause” simultaneously.
- The activator will start. Select the required mode of operation. As you can see, HWID and KMS38 are supported. After making your selection, press the button marked with the number “2”.
- The licensing process will start immediately. Wait for the serial number integration to complete.
- Finally, you will see a notification as shown in the screenshot below. This means that HWID activation was successful.
