  • Multiple Activation Key (MAK): Activated online or by phone, allowing for a specific number of activations for multiple computers.
  • Key Management Service (KMS): Requires installing KMS on a server, where client computers communicate with the KMS server on an internal network for product key activation.
  • Active Directory-based activation: Uses communication between a computer and an Active Directory domain every 180 days for activation.

Troubleshooting Activation

• Troubleshooting MAK Activation:
  • Ensure Internet connection, consider phone activation if unavailable, or use Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) for proxy activation.
  • When exceeding activation limits, contact the activation center.
• Troubleshooting KMS Activation:
  • Ensure the KMS server supports Windows 10 clients, clients have the correct generic volume license key (GVLK), and there are at least 25 activation attempts.
  • Verify service (SRV) record presence and client connection to the KMS server, configure DNSDomainPublishList registry key in multidomain environments.
  • Ensure client reconnection every 180 days, use MAK activation otherwise, and use the "slmgr /dlv" command to view detailed licensing information.
