Windows 7 License : KMS vs MAK

Posted in Windows 7 - 27 August 2009 - No comment

Our technician already deploy Windows 7 in our campus.

They try Windows 7 in 3 PC that met Windows 7 requirement and test it for every software that installed in Windows Vista and after 3 days testing we have conclusion.

Every software installed in Windows Vista is compatible with Windows 7.

Some management and biro want to migrate from Vista to Windows 7 and they request for License key.

Our technician give the key but when they want to activate error message shown telling for invalid license key.

Acronis® Drive Monitor™ is a free application developed to determine the health of your hard disks.

After see the issue and previous solution I think they give wrong license key. They must give MAK ( mutiple activation key) as default key that I give at first time in the form Key Management Service (KMS).

KMS isn’t the same as MAK, KMS license key will permit only a few box activation while KMS key will work depend on ‘available’ activations as seen on the picture.

0/500, it means no activation made so far.

Conclusion :

Give MAK key for multiple activation and contact Microsoft Activation Center to increase the limit in case you need more box to activate.
