Microsoft software activation with MAK or KMS

Some products require Microsoft software activation.

macle has integrated the two main Microsoft activation methods MAK and KMS for you – with practical links to the respective Microsoft activation page.

MAK (Multiple Activation Key)
When using a Microsoft MAK activation key, Microsoft client computers are activated online via a Microsoft hosted activation server.

macle recommends this activation method up to the amount of 50 client computers.
– Microsoft provides detailed information on MAK activation on its website.

KMS (Key Management Service)
Microsoft software activation via the KMS activation service is a server/client model, where you have to install and activate a KMS host activation key on a KMS host computer. This establishes a local activation service in the environment. Microsoft client computers establish a connection with the local KMS host for the activation.

macle recommends this activation method as of 50 or more client computers.
– Microsoft provides detailed information on KMS activation on its website.
