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.

Community Reviews
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.

If you have to download their version of windows, it's very likely that it's a hacked version made to accept their fake license keys (people say the keys don't work with windows downloads from Microsoft).
So you're only paying $10, but you're paying just for the hacker's work. It's just like downloading a torrent.
And you might get a rootkit while at it.

Microsoft killed it. Boo.
