  1. KMS Activator removal


    Sorry for my bad english.A friend of mine told me that her office license wasn't working. So I went to take a look and found out that they buyed a license with a kms activator. I tried to removing with cmd and the command unpkey. Then I ran a scan with windows defender and malwarebytes and windows detected a trojan that was hiding other malwares related to the kms activator. I removed the trojan but couldn't remove the other malwares.How do I remove it completely? I've seen a forum answer saying that is impossible a full remove even reinstalling windows. Is my friend's pc doomed?

    :)

    Question about kms activation

    Hi TheFriedPK

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    You are correct, connecting to that KMS server is not a legal way to activate Windows and you have performed all the correct steps to remove that KMS activation.

    So rest assured, there is no trace of that KMS activation left and there is no damage done or any lasting affects, you are now legally activated and there is nothing further you need to do.
     
  3. Remove KMS Activation

    (Sorry if my english is bad)

    Recently, out of curiosity and for experimenting, i activated my windows against a kms server which i found on youtube. I already have a windows 11 pro digital license and i know how to get it back. I opened cmd as administrator and typed



    slmgr.vbs /skms kms.tee***.

    Then i go to settings and changed product key to enterprise kms client key. My windows 11 got converted into Enterprise edition and successfully activated. Then i ran the following commands to uninstall kms :

    slmgr.vbs /upk

    slmgr.vbs /cpky

    slmgr.vbs /ckms

    slmgr.vbs /ckms-domain

    slmgr.vbs /ipk <windows pro default key>

    I rebooted my pc and got back to pro edition. Next, i change product key to education kms client key and as expected, my windows converted to education version and is not activated (this kms server supports education edition, so this means i disconnected to the kms server). Then i entered the enterprise kms client key again. Not as i expected, eventhough it popped up "unable to connect to organization's activation server", my windows converted to enterprise edition and is activated. I think that the kms server installed a 180-day license on my pc so that even if i cannot connect to the server, i can still use windows 11 enterprise for 180 days. So my question is how can i remove that license out of my pc immediately so that if i ever enter enterprise kms client key again, my windows won't be activated ? Or do i have to perform a clean installation of windows to remove the kms license immediately?

    Remove KMS Activation

    as i stated, i did it out of curiosity and for experimenting, and the result is even though i cannot connect to the kms server, windows 11 enterprise is still activated. So i just want to know if there is anyway to remove kms license (other than clean installation) and set my computer back to how it was before activating it against that kms server. And my pc only has some games on it so i wouldn't mind performing clean installation
