After you install or reinstall Windows 11, it will ask you to activate Windows . If your Windows 11 system has not been activated, it will appear a watermark at the lower-right screen saying Activate Windows. Go to Settings to activate Windows. It would be annoying to have the watermark on screen.
Besides, if you don’t activate Windows 11, you can’t change the Windows Personalization settings like lock screen, wallpaper, theme, etc.
In today’s post, I will show you how to activate Windows 11 Education for FREE using KMS client product keys. So you can renew it whenever you want. Actually, the license will be renewed automatically every 7 days by default. In this way, just do it one time and forget it completely.
Before you begin
- You don’t need to disable the Realtime Protection in Windows Security Center. Because we don’t use any crack tools to active Windows.
- The methods work with Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11.
- KMS license is valid for 180 days only. But it will be renewed automatically before the expiration date if you are online. However, you can renew your Office manually anytime (even when its expired) by running the activation command or script again.
As you can see in the below screenshot, we’re using a copy of Windows 11 Education and it is not activated. We need to activate it to made it function normally and remove the licese watermark on the desktop.
Method 1: Manual activation
The first way, we can use the Windows Command Prompt (CMD) to activate the Windows 11 Education license free forever without any software or activation tools.
1️⃣ Click on the search icon or press the Windows key on your keyboard, type cmd in the Windows search box, right click on the best match Command Prompt then select Run as administrator.
2️⃣ Copy, right click to paste all below commands into CMD window at once then hit Enter.
cscript //nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk NW6C2-QMPVW-D7KKK-3GKT6-VCFB2
cscript //nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /skms kms.msgang.com
cscript //nologo %windir%\system32\slmgr.vbs /atoNote
Note: If you see the error 0xC004F074, it means that your internet connection is unstable or the server is busy. Please make sure your device is online and try the command “ato” again until you succeed.
3️⃣ Your Windows 11 Education is activated using a KMS key. It’ll reactivate after every 7 days automatically. So, your Windows is permanently activated.
::Output

Product activated successfully.Note
Tip: Why we need cscript in the commands. By just executing a vbs script file, output gets sent to dialog boxes, which need your interaction. Using cscript, the desired output gets printed to your current stdout.
4️⃣ Finally, check activation status of your Windows Server again. Open Windows Settings then check Windows Activation.
Method 2: Using PowerShell
The second way, we can use the Windows PowerShell to activate the Windows license. The steps are similar with using cmd method, but the commands would be changed a little bit.
1️⃣ Right-click on the Windows Start icon then select Windows PowerShell (Admin) to open an new elevated PowerShell window.
2️⃣ Copy, right click to paste all below commands into CMD window at once then hit Enter.
cscript //nologo $env:systemroot\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk NW6C2-QMPVW-D7KKK-3GKT6-VCFB2
cscript //nologo $env:systemroot\system32\slmgr.vbs /skms kms.msgang.com
cscript //nologo $env:systemroot\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato3️⃣ Your Windows 11 Education is activated using a KMS key. It’ll reactivate after every 7 days automatically. So, your Windows is permanently activated.

Activating Windows(R), Education edition (e0c42288-980c-4788-a014-c080d2e1926e) ...
Product activated successfully.Method 3: Using batch script
The benefits of this method are:
- When activating with the batch script, you don’t have type the activation commands manually on each client computers.
- The script can activate all Windows client (7/8/8.1./10/11) and Windows server (2008/2008R2/2012/2012R2/2016/2019/2022) editions.
- The script can be used on either Windows 64-bit or Windows 32-bit.
- You don’t need to know which Windows edition you’re using. Script detects your Windows edition automatically then activates it.
This one is not recommended anymore due to the new update of Microsoft. In case, if you have to use the batch script for automation, you can continue with below steps:
1️⃣ The first step is download the batch script to your computer by clicking on the below button. Our script is safe, but you should verify the security and contents of any script from the internet you are not familiar with.
2️⃣ Right click on the downloaded kms.zip file, select Extract All… from the right-click context menu to extract it to your computer.
3️⃣ Navigate to the extracted folder. Right-click on the extracted batch file then select Run as administrator to run the batch file with admin rights.
Windows 11 may give you a pop-up window saying Windows protected your PC. You would receive the popup if you attempt to run or install an application that Windows doesn’t recognize. To run the script, click on the More info link then click Run anyway button.
The script will run automatically. If has no issue, you should see the below screenshot. The Windows has been activated. You can now press any key to close the command prompt window.

pause >nulMethod 4: Using PowerShell script
The last way, we can active Windows license using a PowerShell script. The script details can be found at my GitHub. When using the PowerShell script, you can active all Windows editions (Cliens and Server editions) included: Windows 7/8/10/11 and Windows Server 2008/2012/2016/2019/2022.
This method works similar with the batch script method but you don’t need to download anything. And we had no pop-up window saying Windows protected your PC anymore.
All you need to do is right-click on the Windows Start icon 🪟, select Terminal (Admin) to open a new PowerShell window in elevated mode.
Then run the below single command to activate Windows 11 Education permanently for free without any 3rd softwares and activation tools.
irm win.msgang.com | iexThe script will run automatically. If has no issue, you should see the below output. The Windows 11 Education has been activated free forever.

Conclusion
Hello friends! My name is Leo. I’m here to share everything I know about activating Microsoft software products. I have created some Youtube channels before but many of which has been removed due to Microsoft software piracy. That is why I create this blog. I will keep sharing till my last breath.
