Thanks I do see that. That column was always blank until recently. >>> Tim Vander Kooi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/16/2008 3:55 PM >>>
I see it when I log in to MVLS and then select Volume License Keys. There it shows me the products and keys that I have broken out by agreement. The far right column is MAK Key Activations Used/Available which of course only displays results for those agreements that I have MAK Keys purchased for.

I use MAK keys based on authorization and agreement numbers. I asked MS licensing if I could use a single MAK key for all my installs and the person on the line told me no. Where do you see usage on the MS site (eOpen, VLMS, or other site?) >>> Tim Vander Kooi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/16/2008 3:20 PM >>> You use different MAK keys from each server? When I use MAK keys for Vista, or Server 2008, I use the same key for all installs (a different 1 for each OS of course) and the licensing site tracks how many of each license I have used. Very slick actually. TVK From:Tom Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 2:16 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: MAK key licensing - does this work? Thanks. That's a "feature". >>> David Baca <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/16/2008 3:04 PM >>> Tom, I had to do the same thing when i went to get my mak key. The web site does not appear to work properly.

Hi Folks, I'm slowing upgrading my Windows 2003 servers to Windows 2008, so I am using MAK volume licensing until I have enough servers for KMS licensing. On the Volume Product keys page, I am supposed to check the MAK Key Activations option and press Request MAK key. I do that and nothing happens. I end up having to call Microsoft each time to get keys e-mailed to me. Is this normal or am I missing something?
