Hi All

I need some help with getting a problem sorted.

Some background we are deploying windows 8, Intune etc via the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. We purchased 100 Intune with SA licenses via the portal. This gives us a MAK key for activating windows. We have been using this Key during the build process, but due to several failed builds and subsequent testing, it appears we have fully used the allocation, even though we have only successfully deployed around 70 devices. I am getting the build process changed to not auto activate to try and fix this moving forward, but how can I recover these lost allocations?

Secondly, we purchased an additional 100 licenses through the portal. This appears to have given us a new MAK key. So this now raises several questions:

•          Do we now use this MAK key for licensing?
•          How many licenses does this cover the additional 100, or all 200? If its 200, what happens to the old key and the devices that are using it?
•          If it covers the next 100, I need to keep track of both keys, but the portal only gives me one key.
•          How can I tell how many activations I have remaining, so that I can track it and not get into the first situation again?

Thanks Spuddist!
