    Is my MAK Volume License usage legal?


    Hello guys,I'm wondering whether my installation of Windows is legal. In the "Your products - Volume licensing", I find that: ProductTypeMAK Activations-Used/AvailableWindows 11 Pro / Windows 11 Pro for Workstations - Windows 10/11 Pro - Windows 10/11 Pro for WorkstationsMAK15/150In the past, We bought 15 workstations with MAK Volume license. With this license, it doesn't mean the maximum number of machines I can use at the same time is 15, is it correct? I can use them with 30PCs at the same time or more ! Is this still legal?Kind Regards!

    :)

    Reinstall Windows with Volume MAK licensing

    Hello all,

    I have a laptopt that came with Windows 10 pre-installed by the vendor and the type of licensing seems to be "Volume MAK" and linked to my account. Due to some issues I would like to format the computer hard drive and do a clean reinstall of Windows, but I'm not sure how to proceed with a Volume MAK license. Would using a Media Creation Tool and then activate over the internet work like an OEM license work? If not, how should I proceed?

  3. MAK VOLUME key?

    I had a retail license for windows 10 pro. I went to the microsoft store and then installed windows 10 pro for workstations since it was free. Afterwards I typed slmgr /xpr and slmgr /dli. It showed me that
    my machine is permanently activated but it had a MAK VOLUME license. Is this legal? Is this supposed to happen or should I have a retail version of windows 10 for workstations?
