Activation failed.
Error is invalid lisence key.
No support for refunds.
Beware of this.
Key Details on the Deprecation
- Target: This method was specifically for "activating" Windows 10/11 and Windows Server until the year 2038. It was not the primary method used for Microsoft Office activation.
- The Change: Microsoft fully deprecated the clip-based KMS license migration functionality that the KMS38 method relied on.
- Affects All Versions? No. It affects newer versions of Windows that have received the critical update.
KMS38 stopped working beginning with Windows build 26100.7019 (released around November 2025).
It is now removed from the latest versions of the Massgrave script.
- Current Alternatives: The Massgrave developer advises users to switch to the HWID (Hardware ID) or TSforge activation methods, which are reported to still function.

This bundle is mainly appealing as a cheap way to get Windows 11 Pro and Office 2024, and the checkout coupon has repeatedly brought the total down to $10.99 when applied correctly. Office activation has worked for some installs, including after a Microsoft 365 subscription expired, and the bundle can be used separately for Office or Windows. The main concern is reliability, since the same keys have been received across multiple orders and Windows activation has failed for many, with some Office installs also showing LTSC or service errors. It looks like a low cost option only if you are comfortable with the activation risk.
The BFDEAL checkout code can bring the total to $10.99 when applied correctly.
The coupon code may apply after entering it and clicking the green check mark in the coupon box.
Office activation can work after a Microsoft 365 subscription expires by reinstalling on Windows 11.
Office activation can succeed after a failed first attempt when using a repair and retry flow.
Windows and Office keys can be volume-license style and may limit features or prevent signing into a Microsoft account.
The deal can involve grey-market keys that may be reclaimed by the original owner or fail later.
Windows 11 Pro key activation can fail with errors like 0x80041023 or 0xc004f050.
Office downloads can fail when Microsoft's site shows "service is currently unavailable" or "website is not available."

1) The downloader link they provide is from some third party called 'Teknik media" which probably means it's going to install a rootkit or some other malware or something
2) The paypal payment goes to an individual not a company
Someone else prove me wrong
