How to activate your key

Follow these universal steps to activate Windows, Office, or antivirus keys purchased from GetAllKeys.

Before you begin

  • Ensure you have administrator access on the machine
  • Uninstall conflicting trials or expired versions
  • Connect to the internet and disable VPNs

Activation checklist

  • Download the official installer or ISO linked in your order email
  • Enter the license exactly as provided (copy/paste recommended)
  • Restart the product or run "slmgr /ato" for Windows activations
  • Contact support if activation takes longer than a few minutes

Windows activation

  • Go to Settings → System → Activation and select "Change product key"
  • Paste the 25-character key in the format XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Microsoft Office / 365 activation

  • Install Office from office.com/setup or via the Microsoft 365 admin centre
  • Open any Office app, click "Activate" and enter the key when prompted
  • For Microsoft 365 subscriptions, sign in at office.com and redeem the key in your account

Antivirus activation

  • During installation select "I have an activation code" and paste your key
  • Restart the device after installation to ensure real-time protection is fully active
