This is the oldest trick in the book. Large corporations use internal KMS servers to activate thousands of machines without calling Microsoft every time.

One slight critique I have for Winoffact 2.0 involves the nature of the activation. While the tool includes a "Renewal" task scheduler, most of these activations are technically KMS-based, which means they are valid for 180 days. The software sets up a local renewal service to automatically re-activate the license in the background.
While this is effectively "permanent" for the user, it’s not a "buy once, key forever" Retail license. If you wipe your drive or if the scheduled task gets corrupted by a future Windows update, you might need to run the tool again. It’s a minor inconvenience, but one worth noting for users who want a "set it and forget it" forever experience.
