Can we instead of breaking HWID and replacing it with KMS servers to activate both Windows and Office 365 to actually keep HWID method, not register our host machine to the KMS servers and still somehow via HWID method to activate Office 365 too.

Is there any way how Office 365 can be patched so that we don't need to gave up on HWID Windows activation just because of Office 365 or not and why not or why it can be done.

Thanks in advance for explaining the HWID method and exploit possibilities!

  • You can activate Windows with HWID and Office with ohook option. Office activation with any method in MAS doesn't invalidate HWID for Windows.
  • HWID license is not possible for Office, it doesn't exist.

So in other words, HWID license cannot be applied to Office because Office activation status is gained from server side and an Microsoft account already needs to have linked license/product key that will be downloaded by Office programs and if valid to flag Office apps as activated.

So, everything is server-side while Windows 10/11 provides ability to trick activation status, sent it to servers and servers will automatically in server-side generate an digital license for specific hardware and link it to Microsoft account so that everytime if the hardware is the same can be automatically re-activated with digital license (simply via connecting to the internet and linking Microsoft account with PC)

Yes, the digital license concept doesn't exist for Office.
