I believe what I have here w/ this install is MAK key is there a way to find out if it is KMS or MAK? also can I activate MAK key on more than 1 PC at the same time?
has anyone seen the above error before? I really have no idea what is causing it. what does "out-of-tolerance grace period" mean? FYI: this problem is due to a hardware change
no I mean the error with office activation as pictured. the error with VAMT has to do with Sabre's tool and is not pictured. right, because of a hardware change. shouldn't I be able to re-activate from within Office after a hardware change if it is MAK key? won't EZ activator default to KMS if there's a problem? that is not what I want to happen. I want to get the MAK to work properly.
If it uses the same method as Windows 7 to determine hardware, then having a different MAC Address & Hard Drive serial is enough to trigger it. Mac Address is 3 points, and Hard Drive serial is 1 point, and there is a 3 point threshold before you are required to reinstall/activate with the key.
