The installer should check with the activation database and find each machine already activated (assuming no hardware changes).Īt least, moving between Upgrades, OEM and Retail will all reactivate without a product key.
It will activate automatically if there is a KMS server Iīut if these machines are already activated, installing again with Win10 Pro, with a network connection, shouldn't ask for a key. Golden image needs to be built on VL media, which ignores the builtin OEM key. I wouldn't really call it a loophole or workaround as much as I would call it a requirement. Otherwise, you need to use an answer file or input the MAK key manually (or use something like VAMT) to activate.
It will activate automatically if there is a KMS server installed using the KMS key built in to the image.
Dell volume licensing microsoft pro#
When you say the installs will activate using the OEM Win10 PRO key already on the machine what do you mean by that? I was under the impression when i am building a new image from scrap and when i sysprep the machine and deploy the image it will then ask for a key to active Generally the recommendation is to buy 1 volume license and 4 of something you need (like Office), or 4 of something cheap (like a CAL) since you have to buy 5 things to qualify for volume licenses) But all your systems are already licensed. You are not building systems to sell so you can't use an OEM image. (Basically a system builder like Dell or Joe's computer shop can create OEM images to deploy to the systems they sell. The Volume License is only a licensing loophole to allow you to create your own images. The installs will activate using the OEM Win10 Pro key that's already part of each machine. Now i know normally you can just contact microsoft and have them up the MAK activations, so is this the same now with Windows 10? One follow up, so if i buy one of these volume licensings the MAK usually comes with 50 activation.
