    My bad :) Sorry.. TMI in my head.. Mind & eyes went dyslexic.

    I guess whats the difference between

    Pro (I am guessing Retail)
    and
    Volume Pro

    With respect to activation?

    PS: Am I remembering correctly that..

    MTK works easily/ directly to activate :
    - Windows - Retails and
    - Office - Volumes (more/ better than Retail)

    MTK
    Windows Retail and Volume
    Office Volume (but can convert retail to volume, but not recommended, get a volume from the start. Less mess)

    Thanks. So for MTK, on Windows it doesn't matter which revision was used? But, for a legit Windows 8 $14.99 License, I am guessing Retail would be needed? Or would an MSDN build work with that as well?
    Are MSDN builds/ releases Volume? or Retail? or a separate class by themselves?

    MTK works with all Versions, only difference is activation length. Most are 180 days, some are 45 days for like Core or WMC and 30(I think 30?) for something.

    MSDN has volume and retail / oem. anything VL and ENT will not ask for key during install, thats the only major difference in this case. Use a default install key for retail/oem (cannot be used to activate but for install only) then activate with MTK as it will change the key to a proper working gvlk key.

    180 days for all Windows 8.x/Server with native Volume channel support. 30 days for non-Volume Windows 8.0, 45 days for non-Volume 8.1.

    From what i saw Win 10 Home is 45 days likewise so far.


    EDIT: Still puzzles me why MS increased the Activation Grace for it, it's never officially supposed to work that way and will be refused by a real KMS Host :g:.
