What are the differences between MAK and KMS volume licensing?
Beginning with Windows 7, two types of Volume License Keys (VLKs) will be made available: Multiple Activation Key (MAK) and Key Management Service (KMS). MAK keys activate either individual computers or a group of computers by connecting directly to Microsoft servers. This connection takes place either over the Internet or via telephone. The keys can be used a limited number of times. This activation limit can be increased by calling your Microsoft Activation Center. KMS is a service that your organization can host internally to automatically activate computers running Windows 7. To use KMS, you must have a minimum of 25 networked computers running Windows 7. Computers that have been activated through KMS will be required to reactivate by connecting to your organization’s network at least every six months.
