MAS is fully [open-source](intro.md#mas-latest-release). It has over 100K stars on [GitHub](https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts) and is used by millions of people. You can open the batch files with Notepad and verify the code, or take help from ChatGPT if you don't understand something in batch scripts. You can even perform the activation manually, check the Docs section for instructions.
Yes, use the Ohook activation option. However, you can't get server-side O365-specific features such as 1TB storage in OneDrive, though almost all other features and 5GB storage in a free OneDrive account would work fine.
#### Can I get the Copilot feature in Office with MAS activation?
No. [Copilot](https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/microsoft-copilot) is an additional plan that can be added to existing subscriptions of Microsoft 365.
No. [Python in Excel](https://support.microsoft.com/office/introduction-to-python-in-excel-55643c2e-ff56-4168-b1ce-9428c8308545) is a server-side feature. To get this, you need to have a Microsoft 365 subscription.
MAS project doesn't accept donations and it's free.
It's because it's a community project and involves many contributors, splitting donations is not practical, and also because profiting from piracy is not good.
