Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS) is a fully open-source, installation-free, and easy-to-use activation tool for Windows and Office. It supports Windows 7 through Windows 11, as well as Office 2013 through Office 2024. The tool integrates multiple mainstream activation methods, including HWID, Ohook, KMS38, online KMS, and the newly introduced TSforge technology in 2025, offering strong compatibility and flexibility.
MAS is fully open source, meaning its code is publicly available and transparent on GitHub. Users can review it for security assurance and use it without concerns about hidden privacy risks. In addition, MAS scripts do not make destructive system modifications or install persistent background services, which helps reduce the chance of antivirus false positives.

What is TSforge and Why It Matters?
TSforge is a new activation technique introduced by the MASSGRAVE team in February 2025. It uses dynamic memory-based methods to bypass Microsoft’s SPP (Software Protection Platform), enabling true offline permanent activation for Windows and Office.
Key highlights include:
- Uses a “zero CID” mechanism to enable activation without internet connectivity;
- Activation status remains after system reboot or SPP service restart;
- Supports switching Windows editions such as Home and Pro;
- Broad compatibility: from Windows 7 to Windows 11, and Office 2013 to Office 2024.
This activation method is especially suitable for devices that operate offline or users seeking long-term persistent activation results.

- HWID Digital License Activation: Binds activation to hardware, used for Windows 10/11;
- Ohook Offline Activation: Designed for Office 2013–2024, supports retail and volume licenses;
