VAMT Question

Good evening,

I would like to ask if it is possible to activate less than 25 computers using MAK keys and VAMT in the same way as KMS ? From what I read using Windows 8.1 Enterpise activated via MAK is troublesome, since it would ask for activation every time when the USB stick is plugged into another computer. Therefore, I would like to know if it is possible to omit the problem using VAMT

Hi

For MAK, it allows a predetermined number of activations. This number depends on the type of agreement you have. The number of activations can be revised to accommodate your regular usage. For more infor about volume licensing, you can contact your Microsoft Activation Center

"From what I read using Windows 8.1 Enterpise activated via MAK is troublesome, since it would ask for activation every time when the USB stick is plugged into another computer."

Personally, I haven't heard of this issue about MAK, where did you read this? Here're some more info you might be interested

I wasn't precise enough... I was talking about Windows 8.1 To Go

Is it possible to activate it using KMS and Active Directory if you have less than 25 computers ? or use VAMT and MAK key in order not to activate Windows 8.1 To Go every time I roam ?

Hi,

Please see the Note part in the TechNet article:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/jj592678.aspx

noteNote

Using Multiple Activation Key (MAK) activation is not a supported activation method for Windows To Go as each different PC-host would require separate activation. MAK activation should not be used for activating Windows, Office, or any other application on a Windows To Go drive.

And for KMS, Your organization must have at least five (5) computers to activate servers running Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012 and at least twenty-five (25) computers to activate client systems running Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.
