I was wondering on Volume Licensing. If I have a computer that has a
Volume License and that computer dies how do I go about using that key
again. Meaning if I have 10 licenses and I activate a computer that means I
have 9 left. But say that computer dies and I get another computer and want
to use that same keys without reducing my available licenses. How would I
go about doing that?

Thank you,
Ed

Ok. Say I have 10 licenses and that means I can activate it on 10 PC's. If
1 PC dies how can I move that activation to a new PC.

Volume Licenses have no activation limits,...nor do they "deactivate" if the
hardware changes.
However I don't have anything newer than 2003R2 & XP,...so I can't speak for
any changes that may have occured with newer OSs.

10 VLs mean you can only have it running on 10 machines at once,...one
machine gets taken out of service, put on a shelf of old unused
machines,...OS still intact on it,.... you can load it on a new one and put
the new one in service. But you cannot *legally* pull the old one back off
the shelf and put it in service again without removing one of the others.
So,..only 10 running and in service at once, you cannot *legally* run 11.

If the old machine is sold off the OS must be removed from it.

Licenses and Activations are not the same thing.

MAK keys generally have 200 and more activations allocated to them. When you
exhaust all your activations, you can ask for a new key during your
subscription period.

Activations can be reused. You can use the tool called VAMT, available in
the latest WAIK. With this tool you can save Installation ID and
Confirmation ID.

If you need to wipe your disk and reinstall the same OS on the same
hardware, you can reapply MAK key, Installation ID and Confirmation ID. Your
system will then be activated without contacting Microsoft or KMS.
