Lesson 5: Activating Windows 8
What Is Microsoft Volume Activation?
What Is the Key Management Service?•Troubleshooting Volume Activation
![Page 36: Microsoft ® Official Course Module1 Installing and Deploying Windows 8](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e605503460f94b5b64b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What Is Microsoft Volume Activation?
Volume Activation Models:
Volume Activation:
• MAK uses product keys that can activate a specific number of computers
• KMS enables organizations to perform local activations for computers in a managed environment without connecting to Microsoft individually
• Provides simple, security-enhanced activation for enterprise organizations
• Addresses issues associated with volume license keys in previous Windows versions
![Page 37: Microsoft ® Official Course Module1 Installing and Deploying Windows 8](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e605503460f94b5b64b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What Is the Key Management Service?
Implementing KMS Activation:• A KMS key is installed on the KMS host.• The KMS host is activated using an online Web
service at Microsoft either over the network or by telephone.
• At an elevated command prompt, run this script: cscript C:\Windows\System32\slmgr.vbs –ipk
• During installation, the KMS host automatically publishes its existence in the Service Location (SRV) resource records within the DNS.
• Client computers locate the KMS host dynamically by using:• SRV records found in the DNS• Connection information in the registry
• Client computers then self-activate.
KMS activation considerations:• KMS requires a minimum of 25 physical or virtual computers before it begins activating Windows 8 clients
• Computers that are not activated retry every two hours
• Client computers must renew their activation once every 180 days
• After activation, client computers attempt to renew their activation every 7 days
• Client computers connect to the KMS host for activation by using anonymous RPC over TCP and by using default port 1688
• A KMS host and KMS clients must use Volume License media

Troubleshooting Volume Activation
MAK activation troubleshooting:1. Verify the activation status
2. Ensure that an Internet connection is available
3. Contact the Microsoft Activation Call Center if necessary
4. Determine the error message
KMS activation troubleshooting:
1. Verify the activation status
2. Verify that the KMS SRV record is present in DNS
3. Ensure that your routers do not block TCP port 1688
4. Verify that the KMS host has been contacted
5. View the Windows 8 client Windows Application event log
6. Determine the error message
