Even before XP’s official release, several VLKs were freely available on the Internet, and anyone could use them to activate the operating system.
#CHANGE MAK TO KMS CLIENT SOFTWARE#
Unfortunately, Volume Activation 1.0 also made it easy for software pirates to activate XP without buying a license. Enterprises could automate deployments, regardless of whether a computer was connected to a network. Volume Activation 1.0 completely bypassed the activation process for customers with a VLK.
#CHANGE MAK TO KMS CLIENT LICENSE#
But that’s too cumbersome for enterprises that have thousands of computers, so Microsoft uses Volume Activation to let businesses use a single volume license key, or VLK, for all their computers. Use the LicensingDiag.exe to generate a new SPPDiagReport.To activate a retail version of Microsoft Windows, a user must enter the product key into Windows and then connect to the Internet or call Microsoft to validate the key. Notice that the licensing status has now changed and Windows has a Digital License In this scenario you have 2 practical solutions:
#CHANGE MAK TO KMS CLIENT WINDOWS 10#
ProductName will change to Windows 10 Enterprise when Subscription Activation is successful
#CHANGE MAK TO KMS CLIENT PRO#
This shows a problem with current licensing and activation of Windows 10 Pro.For this scenario we will only need the SPPDiagReport.xml I’ve highlighted the ones I normally focus on initially for any issues. Azure Virtual Machines by default are licensed by Azure’s own KMS and therefore you will see this messageĮxample: licensingdiag -cab C:\temp\LicensingOutput.cab

#CHANGE MAK TO KMS CLIENT LICENSE KEY#
This is being seen as there is a KMS Client License key and Windows knows that Windows requires a KMS Host to activate it but it does not existĪ built in tool in Windows exists to check the full licensing status called Licensingdiag.exe. “Windows is activated using your organizations activation service” But wait….Remember our Windows 10 Pro computer did not have a license assigned or activated So we can see from the GUI that Subscription Activation appears to be active….
