Easy to activate batch 7 wins and Office2010

  

About the activation of the system or software, many people are in a state of fog, although they all know how to activate, but if you need a lot of software to activate, then this is a problem, it is a way to batchize . First of all, please don't misunderstand. This article is not to teach you how to pirate, but to explore how large-scale genuine activation of enterprises or school rooms.

As you know, the volume license version of Office 2007 can be used normally without activation (installation completed), but since Office2010, Microsoft has changed the "open" process of Office products. This means that all versions (FPP and VL) need to be activated before they can be used. This requires administrators of large enterprises to use the Windows Software Protection Platform (SPP), which means that administrators need to understand and learn about the process of batch activation of Office.

For example, a Key Management Service (KMS) host can be used to activate Office 2010, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2. Of course, even if Office is not activated, the user will only see a reminder "notification", but still be able to operate Office documents, such as: open, save, edit and print.

This article introduces you to the basic process and information of volume activation, such as configuring KMS host and MAK.



How to activate Office2010 Volume Licensing?

There are two ways to activate Office 2010 Volume Licensing: the default is KMS mode —— local activation service, KMS needs to configure a separate computer to proxy the client for the activation process. The other is the MAK method, which is similar to the retail version: it requires an Internet connection to Microsoft or phone activation.

What is KMS?

KMS is a host system that activates all Office2010 clients within the enterprise. It needs to be able to connect to Microsoft over the network. Because KMS uses the “lightweight” service, it takes up less system resources and is usually held by other servers in the enterprise. Microsoft's internal KMS server has activated more than 8,000 Office2010 technology previews for internal and public network testers, and it has also been used to activate Windows 7 and Windows Vista computers.

The volume license version of Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 can be configured to activate the KMS host for Office 2010. This task can also be undertaken after Windows Server 2003 has installed KMSService. When the administrator first enters the activation key of the KMS host and confirms it, it will automatically register the corresponding service record in the DNS, so the KMS client can query it from the network. Of course, the KMS host is also configured with the slmgr.vbs script.

By default, the KMS client's key has been pre-integrated into the corresponding software, so the end user does not need to manually enter the installation key when installing Office ProfessionalPlus2010. For example, when User A installs Office 2010, it will automatically find the KMS server in the enterprise through DNS and automatically perform the activation process. The KMS server can not only activate Word2010, Excel2010 and PowerPoint2010, but also activate Visio2010, Project2010 and InfoPath2010.
