you can activate any windows or office by using vlmcsd (https://github.com/Wind4/vlmcsd).
you can selfhost it, choose any windows version like 11 pro or enterprise or office product like office 24 enterprise. activate it using your kms server and you can enter the matching licence key every so often to activate it. doesn’t cost a cent except hosting on 512mb/1cpu.
i think there are public kms servers with vlmcsd too.
obviously JUST FOR TESTING PURPOSES ;)
KMS is microsoft’s method of product activation mostly for organizations, they can run an activation server inside an intranet for instance. Also widely used for pirating windows since it’s easy to run one of those kms emulators
https://massgrave.dev/ is a fairly recent development, they have a tool called MAS that can activate windows/office/etc using many methods including KMS

Simpler to just use massgrave, no?
didnt know about massgrave until now. looks promising too.
Massgrave doesn’t work for Office I’m pretty sure.
It does now actually. Has been able to permanently activate Office for about two years or so? They did update the method from last year, however.
kms server? massgrave? is this a dark joke i am not in on
Kms is key management services.
Why massgrave is called that, I have no idea.
i thought kms was kill my self
I figured that’s what you thought. To be fair, using Microsoft also makes me want to kms. Luckily I don’t have to.
Because you’re already dead on the inside?
That as well, but I just don’t have a job requiring me to use windows.

Does https://massgrave.dev/ not work anymore?
As of about two weeks ago, it still works.
Pretty sure I just used that when windows 10 was held hostage by microslop
I understood some of that!
