KMS requires phoning back to MS periodically to keep the license activated. It’s still “permanent” because there’s no limit on duration (as of now at least).
HWID activation registers a hardware ID in MS servers to permanently license it. That means no renewal, just forever activation that survives reinstalls.
Same here. I played about 30 hours and realized I wasn’t actually having fun with it. I was just going through the motions. Because ultimately, it’s a really empty game. A mile wide and an inch deep.
While investigating an uncovered node in some aviation datalink software, I discovered a 15 year old comment from 1993 along the lines of, “this function never runs, I’ll fix it later.” I wish will all my heart I could have heard their voice. Even if just for a moment.
