How to remove KMS key (Windows/Office)

If you used the KMS key to activate Windows or Office, it can prevent the product key you buy to activate your Windows/Office. KMS key sends the product key to the KMS servers, not the Microsoft servers.

So when you paste the key you buy from me or Microsoft Stores, it can’t activate your Windows/Office. You will see the notification “Ensure you are connected to your corporate network to enable automatic activation”

(KMS key is key used for organization)

To use Windows keys or Office keys you buy, you must remove the KMS key first.
