Windows Server Evaluation One-Click Upgrade & Activation Tool

When running Windows Server (2016 / 2019 / 2022 / 2025) instances on a VPS or Cloud Server, expired Evaluation editions shut down automatically every hour.

We provide an exclusive one-click automation tool (auto-kvm.zip) to streamline the process into two simple steps: First run upgrades Evaluation to Official Edition; Second run after reboot automatically activates the OS.

📥 Download One-Click Upgrade & Activation Script

Supports Windows Server (2012R2 / 2016 / 2019 / 2022 / 2025) & Windows 10/11

Download Script (auto-kvm.zip)

Operating Steps (Simple 2-Step Process)

Extract auto-kvm.zip to get win-v9.bat, then follow these two steps:

Step 1: Run Script to Upgrade to Official Edition

1. Right-click win-v9.bat and select Run as Administrator.
2. The script detects Evaluation mode and automatically performs DISM edition conversion using appropriate GVLK keys.
3. After conversion finishes, follow the prompt to reboot the server.

Step 2: Run Script Again After Reboot to Activate

1. Reconnect RDP after the server restarts.
2. Right-click win-v9.bat and select Run as Administrator again.
3. The script recognizes the official edition and automatically completes KMS activation.

IMPORTANT: Always right-click and select "Run as Administrator" for both executions. We recommend taking a snapshot/backup of your Cloud Server or VPS before performing major OS upgrades.
