implementing ADBA (active directory-base activation)

Hello

 

We will implementing ADBA service to activate our Windows 10 machines.

 

What will happen to other servers (2019,2012R2) that are already activated with a MAK key ?

 

thanks for your help

    Hi Charles-André Bélanger,

     

    Yes. Computers which activated with a MAK license key don't need to activate via KMS server.

     

    Even if you delete the license key from the computer licensed with the MAK license key and license those computers via the KMS server, your number of MAK license keys don't increase.
