Uses either Multiple Activation Keys or Key Management Service. Offers central management for Volume License keys. Is invisible to end user. Offers monitoring and reporting.

The KMS key used for KMS activation is only installed on the KMS host and never on individual computers.

By default, Volume editions do not require a product key to be entered during setup. The computer must be activated during an automatic 30-day grace period. \u2022 System Administrators can monitor activation status using standard system management software including Microsoft KMS Management Pack for System Center Operations Manager (MOM Pack), as well as the VAMT. Windows Management Infrastructure (WMI), extensive event logging, and built-in Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) may provide a wealth of detail about installed licenses and about the license state and current grace or expiration period of MAK and KMS-activated computers. Multiple activation options are available using two types of customer specific keys, Multiple Activation Key (MAK) and Key Management Service (KMS) key. Note: MAK and KMS can be used together or separately, depending on the requirements of the organization. \u2022 Multiple Activation Key has a predetermined number of activations allocated to it, and two activation options: \u2022 MAK Independent Activation to individually connect (online or phone) and activate with Microsoft. \u2022 MAK Proxy Activation to activate multiple systems with one connection to Microsoft (using the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) available at  \u2022 Key Management Service enables organizations to perform local activations of systems in a managed environment without connecting them to Microsoft individually. A KMS key is used to enable the Key Management Service on a KMS host system controlled by an organization\u2019s system administrator. The KMS host requires a minimum number of physical machines, but can activate a virtually unlimited number of systems. Each KMS-activated system must periodically renew with the KMS host.
