  3. Session Objectives and Takeaways • Session Objective(s): • Understand basics of Office 2010 volume activation • Apply principles to plan a proper deployment • Takeaways: Office 2010 requires volume activation • Same as Windows Vista and Windows 7 • Same KMS host can activate Windows and Office

  4. Volume Activation Goals • Microsoft Goals • Engineer a product less vulnerable to piracy and counterfeit • Provide set of tools to ensure a more managed installation environment • Help reduce VL key leakage • Customer Focused Goals • Enhance ease of deployment with minimal impact to VL customers • Provide Multiple and Flexible options • Strong and transparent Microsoft privacy policy around activation

  5. Activation Journey VOLUME ACTIVATION IN MICROSOFT 2010 BACKGROUND: MICROSOFT OFFICE 2007 VL ACTIVATION HISTORY VA ensures customers receive and deploy legitimate software • Activation required for • all VL Office Client products • Provisioned and managed by IT Pros • Transparent end user experience Volume Activation (VA) introduced in Windows Vista VA is now the standard for new operating systems and Office client products Identified non-genuine software displays permanent word-mark on screen Re-activation required for a copy determined as non-genuine at a later date - failure to re-activate results in loss of functionality (customer outcry) • Enterprises were • given “bypass” volume license keys • These keys bypassed activation as no activation was required after entering product key • Keys were easily compromised Activation establishes a relation between a license you purchase and product on which you exercise the licensing rights Activation not required for Office2010 Server products Associates the proof-of-license (5*5 product keys) to the device • Pirated/ Counterfeit Software • Some Customers unwillingly deploy counterfeit software • Malware in counterfeits result in higher support costs • Expensive down time Applies to Windows and Microsoft Office Client products

  6. Poll • How familiar are you with volume activation? • I’ve set up a KMS host and/or MAK activated • I only know about it • What’s KMS and MAK?

  7. Two Activation Models • Key Management Service (KMS) • Local activation service in your environment • Multiple Activation Key (MAK) • Direct activation with Microsoft

  8. Privacy and Functionality • Privacy: all methods designed to protect user privacy • Microsoft does not use activation information to identify or contact you • Office applications work with full functionality regardless of activation status • Volume editions

  9. Demos

  10. Simple Scenario • Large number of systems to activate (>50) • All clients are always connected to the corporate network • Or connect on a regular basis • Central or strong IT

  11. Solution • Core environment • KMS with DNS auto-discovery • Firewalled environment • Use central KMS host if TCP 1688 can be opened • Auto-discovery vs. direct connection

  12. Office 2010 KMS Host • Run KeyManagementServiceHost.exe • One Office key to activate all client products • Activation threshold: 5 • Supported KMS host OSs:

  13. Demo Setting up a KMS host

  14. KMS Unlicensed Notifications

  15. Moderate Scenario • Environment • Not managed • All clients connected to lab or test network • High turnover of systems • Physical, virtual, or both

  16. Solution • Solution(s) • If >25 systems exist, use KMS • MAK • Install MAK key before or after deployment • Use VAMT to save CID for rebuilds

  17. Multiple Activation Key (MAK) • One MAK per product per organization • Flexible options to install MAK on every PC client: • Office Customization Tool (OCT) • Automated install file (Config.xml) • Change key “Backstage” • Volume Activation Management Tool 2.0 • Options to activate: • Online • Phone or proxy activation through VAMT 2.0
