== Unofficial Activation Methods  ==

There are some unofficial methods to activate Windows 7 without a product key, but these are not recommended or supported by Microsoft:

1. KMS activation: This uses Key Management Service (KMS) client setup keys to activate Windows 7 Professional or Enterprise editions. However, this is intended for volume licensing scenarios.

2. OEM BIOS activation: Some OEM computers have the product key embedded in the BIOS. Special tools can extract and use this key.

3. Third-party activators: Various third-party tools claim to activate Windows 7 without a key, but these are often considered malware and can be risky to use.
