| Consequence | Description | | :--- | :--- | | | The tool fails to bypass the new checks. You run it, it claims "success," but you still see "Windows is not activated." | | Background Crypto Mining | Hackers repackage old PortalKMS versions with XMRig miners.

Your PC becomes a vulnerable time bomb. | This activation remains valid for 180 days and
