Troubleshooting

If activation fails, the cause is almost always Defender quarantining the executable mid-run. Re-extract to a Defender-excluded folder (e.g. C:\Tools\KMSAuto) and re-run as administrator. For KMS connection errors, switch the activation method from HWID to Ohook (Office) or TSforge (Windows Server).
