A:
The Key Management Services (KMS) component in Windows lets an organization’s internal server activate clients. A special key is used to activate the
KMS server with Microsoft Clearinghouse. By default, an organization’s KMS key can be used to activate six KMS hosts within the organization.
However, if you need more than six, you can email Microsoft at kmsadd@microsoft.com to add additional activations for your KMS key. Organizations can
also call a local activation center. To find out more about that option, see the Microsoft website.
