Didn't think about Office 2010 - the activation threshold there is 5.

They did subscribe to Office Pro Plus and the machines get re-imaged more often than not if problems arise as its faster and easier for meJ Installing a server with a KMS key and adding the Office 2010 KMS Host License Pack would work here (While all the other servers use MAK's) I presume?

You need 25 machines of a specific type (e.g. mapped to a specific KMS key) before the KMS activates against MS. Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com c - 312.731.3132 From: Joseph L. Casale [mailto:jcas...@activenetwerx.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 7:17 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: KMS Best Practices Getting ready to roll out a bunch of new stuff at a shop as they now have their OVS keys. I am reading up on setting up a KMS and as trivial as this appears, are there any concerns by people who have set these up that might not be outlined in TechNet? At the place in question, they have ~6 servers and only two would likely be around permanently, the DC and Exchange server. Make sense to install those with a KMS key?
