    The generic keys have been known for a very long time. I highly doubt it means you’ll get anything else out of them.

          They’re specifically for enterprise, typically. You have a license server that hands out the site licenses, rather than registering each machine with Microsoft directly. These keys get you into the box, and put it into “grace” mode for 30 days. You can rearm the key a few times, to use them for dev or evaluation purposes; for example, I believe you can extend a Server machine up to 180 days.

      Though it does bring up something interesting, could you successfully create a keygen with a plug and play LLM type system? I imagine yes since the core of it is just guessing what the next digit/letter is with high probability.

        This is the real question. … to be able to defeat the system, read that as random number generation sites, that was used to make Windows activation keys keys, you would probably have to start by feeding in thousands of example activation keys.

        It’s an interesting thought, but would likely need inside resources from MS to properly train the LLM as well as fine tuning the LLM
