The Microsoft Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) is part of Microsoft Volume Activation 2.0 and allows organizations to manage the activation of their Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 computers using Multiple Activation Key (MAK) keys.
A MAK performs a one-time activation of computers with Microsoft. Once the computers are activated they require no further communication with Microsoft. The number of computers that can be activated with a specific MAK is based on the type and level of the organization’s volume license agreement with Microsoft. VAMT version 1.1 enables the following functionality:
MAK Independent Activation: Each computer individually connects and activates with Microsoft either online or via telephone
MAK Proxy Activation: Activation of multiple computers with one online connection to Microsoft
Activation Status: Ability to determine the activation status of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 computers
Remaining MAK activations: The current remaining activations associated with a MAK key
XML Import/Export: Allows for exporting and importing of data in a well formed XML format to enable activation of systems in disconnected environment scenarios
Local reactivation: Enables reactivation of computers based on saved activation data stored in the VAMT XML computer information list
Configure for KMS activation: Convert MAK activated volume editions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 to KMS activation
