VAMT 1.0 was released by Microsoft last night to help administrators with bulk activation and management o Windows Vista and "Longhorn" Multiple Activation Keys (MAK). This x86 program is available for download now. A MAK is a license key where computers are activated one at a time but require only one activation for that build.
Features include:
- MAK Independent Activation: Each computer is individually connected and activateed with Microsoft via network or telephone connections.
- MAK Proxy Activation: One centralized activation request is sent on behalf of multiple computers with one network connection to Microsoft.
- Activation Status: Monitor the activation status of Windows Vista and Longhorn Server computers on your network.
- Remaining MAK activations: The current remaining activations associated with a MAK key.
- XML Import/Export: Export and import data in an XML format to allow you to activate computers in disconnected environment scenarios.
- Local reactivation: Enables reactivation of computers that have been rebuilt or reimaged by applying a Confirmation ID.
