There's this relevant joke about Linux which is that Linux is very user friendly... it's just very picky about who its friends are.

Linux is only free if your time is worthless. ;)
Windows 10 Pro is only $200.00 if your time is worthless, is the flip side.
And privacy...
If your time is worthless, Windows can - and always could - be free. But if your time is worth something, it's better to shell out that $$$, and also be legally and morally on the safe side.
Pretty sure installing Kmspico is faster than buying a serial key.
Or changing the KMS server to a "customised" one that accepts all activation attempts. Much more secure than giving root to kmspico.

Find a proper key for your edition here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/...

slmgr /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

slmgr /skms kms.digiboy.ir # just an example of many KMS servers that exist

slmgr /ato

What can the operator of a KMS server do to my computer though?
And bandwidth...
... and you didn’t get an OEM licence.
Using computers is free if your time and patience are worthless.
It's like a free puppy.
Free as in beer and free as in poops everywhere.
Or a free boat
Truer words have never been spoken. ;)
At least its not user-hostile, e.g. it doesnt spy on its users.
It's a joke comment, on a joke thread, about a joke book. I wholeheartedly agree, but lighten up.
That's a line about Unix. I believe before Linux ever came along.
