If you are looking for a way to activate Microsoft Office 2013 for free, you might have come across a tool called Mini KMS Activator 3.10. This tool claims to be able to activate Office 2013 by using a Key Management Service (KMS) host on your local network. But is this tool legal and safe to use? Here are some facts you need to know before you download it.
KMS Activator is a type of software that uses a Microsoft Generic Volume License Key (GVLK) to activate Windows or Office products on multiple computers. This key is also known as a KMS client key, and it is designed for organizations that have a volume licensing agreement with Microsoft. The key allows the computers to connect to a KMS host on the local network and request activation every 180 days[^2^].
KMS Activator is not legal for individual users who do not have a volume licensing agreement with Microsoft. According to Microsoft, using KMS Activator or any other unauthorized activation tool is considered software piracy and violates the terms of the software license agreement[^3^]. If you use KMS Activator, you might face legal consequences such as fines or lawsuits. You might also risk exposing your computer to viruses or malware that might be included in the tool.
