    KMS Activation


    Hello,I've activated Windows 10 on my new PC using my company's KMS activation server. Can my Boss or IT administrators track my activities or change anything on my PC? I used command prompt to connect to the KMS server and install volume license key.

    :)

    KMS Activation threshold

    I am looking into setting up a KMS server vs using a MAK for a small (<100 clients) offline network of PCs with Win10 and Office 2016. I did a lot of web searching (Bing, obviously) but still have a few questions that I was not able to find answers to that
    I was hoping someone could help with.

    1. I know KMS has the 25 PC threshold before it will activate any, but what happens on the 26th activation request? Will the KMS server activate the 26th PC or does the threshold count start over and it will wait for 24 more activation requests?
    2. After a re-image, I read that we can use the same MAK to activate Windows 10 using VAMT if we saved the .cilx file as long as there haven’t been any major hardware changes. Is this possible for Office 2016 as well? I haven’t been able to find any
      documentation on it.
    Thank you!

    KMS Activation

    I'm trying to find out some information about KMS activation. As a starting point I have used the following document:

    Understanding KMS

    What I need to know where can I download the actual KMS software that is install build a KMS infrastructure?

    As is the communication between a KMS Host and KMS mangaed device bi-directional?

    Many thanks in advance of any informatiom
