I am working with a small charity organization that requires the activation of 7 Windows To Go flash drives.

However, the suggested KMS activation method has a minimum threshold of 20 which makes no sense for a small business or organization!

I notice that the KMS activation threshold when using a Windows server is 5!

Questions:

Does Microsoft operate a public accessible KMS server for small businesses or organizations?

If NO! Is there a downloadable small KMS server to fit this important need for small businesses or organizations?

Check with MS support on this : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-us

Problem: Required Activation method for Windows To Go method is KMS so that the flash drive(ie. Windows To Go ) does not have to the reactivated every time the user changes the machine it is running on -- problem is that there is a minimum threshold of 25 computers on the network to use KMS.

Your solution is for MAK Activation which in this case is not a useful option because I will not hand out the Activation KEYS to everyone.

Microsoft has a problem with Windows To Go and the activation threshold for the use of KMS.

Solution: Drop the threshold to one so that small businesses and organizations can use KMS.

NOTE: Just think about it for a moment--who would benefit from Windows To Go the most? It is small businesses and organizations who us a temporary or part-time work force.

Thanks for sharing. Is this fixed now ?
