Volume Activation 2.0
Starting with Windows Vista, Microsoft replaced VLKs with Multiple Activation Keys (MAK) or with Key Management Server (KMS) keys.
- MAK Activation may occur independently (by means of connection to Microsoft through internet or telephone activation) or through a proxy using Microsoft's Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT).
- Hosts activated via a KMS have to report back to that key server once every 180 days.
