微软近日推出了KMS Hardware-Secured新规则，要求企业批量授权环境中的KMS服务器必须借助TPM进行硬件级身份验证，此举一度引发市场猜测微软欲对个人盗版用户采取行动[1]。然而实际上，该政策的真实目标是加强企业内部授权体系的安全防护，防止攻击者伪造授权服务器，并非针对个人用户电脑[1]。
微软官方表示不会追究普通个人用户的盗版问题[1]。该机制的实施时间表也相对宽松，微软计划从2026年8月开始让Windows Server 2025显示KMS硬件安全功能的准备状态，现有KMS部署仍可继续正常工作[1]。此外，当前常见的个人盗版激活方式包括HWID激活和TSforge等，均不依赖KMS服务器，因此此次政策调整对这些渠道几无影响[1]。
Microsoft has introduced a new KMS Hardware-Secured mechanism that requires Key Management Service servers in enterprise volume licensing environments to utilize Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology for hardware-level identity verification [1]. The announcement sparked concerns among users about potential crackdowns on Windows 11 piracy, but the company has clarified that the policy targets enterprise infrastructure security rather than individual consumers [1].
The new requirement is designed to prevent attackers from spoofing authorization servers within corporate licensing deployments [1]. Microsoft plans to begin displaying the KMS hardware security feature's readiness status starting in August 2026 through Windows Server 2025, while existing KMS deployments will continue to function normally [1]. The company has explicitly stated it has no intention of pursuing individual users over unauthorized Windows installations [1].
Industry observers note that Microsoft's current revenue model extends well beyond Windows licensing fees, incorporating Microsoft 365 subscriptions, OneDrive storage services, and Copilot AI features [1]. Additionally, prevalent piracy activation methods such as HWID activation and TSforge operate independently of KMS servers and therefore remain unaffected by this policy change [1].
