Microsoft Product Activation

Microsoft Product Activation is a process to verify that your software copy is genuine and has been purchased legally. When you install Microsoft programs like Windows or Office, the activation checks a unique code to confirm it's not been used excessively or pirated. This helps ensure you have a legitimate copy, access to updates, and support. Activation typically involves connecting to Microsoft's servers, which confirms the product's authenticity. If activation fails, you may face limited features or prompts to verify your purchase, encouraging proper licensing and protecting both users and developers.
