| If you are activating a large number of products with a MAK, you should refresh the activation count of the MAK, to ensure that the MAK can support the required number of activations. In the product key list in the center pane, select the MAK and click Refresh product key data online in the right-side pane to contact Microsoft and retrieve the number of remaining activations for the MAK. This step requires Internet access. You can only retrieve the remaining activation count for MAKs. |
Remove a Product Key
- To remove a product key from the list, simply select the key in the list and click Delete on the Selected Items menu in the right-side pane. Click Yes to confirm deletion of the product key. Removing a product key from the VAMT database will not affect the activation state of any products or computers on the network.
