| Feature | KMS 2038 v9.8 | Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Local KMS Emulator (2038) | HWID (Permanent) + KMS38 | | Expiry Date | Jan 2038 | No expiry (HWID) / 2038 (KMS38) | | Office Support | 2010-2021 | 2013-2024 (including new UI) | | Detection Rate | High (Defender flags it) | Lower (Obfuscated scripts) | | User Interface | GUI + CMD | Pure CMD / PowerShell |
