Can somebody explain what this means?

A new method to pirate windows keys activation so you don’t gotta pay for it

Okay something different from KMS then?

[-] TwinHaelix@reddthat.com 27 points 1 year ago

KMS requires phoning back to MS periodically to keep the license activated. It's still "permanent" because there's no limit on duration (as of now at least).

HWID activation registers a hardware ID in MS servers to permanently license it. That means no renewal, just forever activation that survives reinstalls.

Wow that's actually better

There is a limit with KMS (2038)

That MSoft will go back to earning exactly what they deserve for Windows installations
