What is a Multiple Activation Key (MAK)?
A MAK is used for one-time activation of a computer with Microsoft’s hosted activation services. There are two ways to activate computers using a MAK.MAK Independent activation requires each computer to independently connect and activate with Microsoft, either over the Internet or by telephone. With MAK Proxy Activation, a computer acting as the MAK proxy gathers activation information from multiple computers on the network and then sends a centralized activation request to Microsoft’s hosted activation services on their behalf. A free application, the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT), enables you to do a MAK Proxy Activation.
