When I replaced my motherboard last month, Windows 11 instantly flagged the system as unactivated, even though the license was originally tied to my Microsoft account. None of the troubleshooting steps worked, and re-entering my old key just gave errors. I didn’t want to waste hours bouncing between forums and settings, so I downloaded kms-full and ran it without touching anything else. It activated the system instantly, no impact on updates, no weird behavior afterward. I’ve rebooted dozens of times since and haven’t seen a single activation warning or watermark return.
