  Hi,

  You may need to find the telephone number for your Microsoft Activation Center to activate your KMS host and more information on MAK based on your Volume Licensing agreement. 

  Please refer to the following website to have a better understanding of Volume License Keys:

  Frequently Asked Questions About Volume License Keys

  How To Verify or Check your KMS/MAK Product Key

  Product Activation and Key Information for Existing Customers

  Hope it helps.

  Hi, 

  I'm not a computer guru by any means, but worked for a very small company who ordered a supply of 6 copies of Office Pro and 1 copy of Win 7.

  I have since moved on after installing these software on coworkers computers.

  Now one of the coworkers is getting a warning on his computer saying that his Win 7 is going to be locked if he doesn't give the validation codes.

  I've found the MAK and KMS keys, but need to know where he needs to place these on his computer. I'm not there so I can't just do it for him. I've looked at the links above (from Magon Liu) but those just show me where to FIND the keys, NOT  where to INSERT them on his computer. Could someone please tell me the method used to place these keys into his system? 

  Thanks!

  Paul

  1. Click on the Start button and in the Start Search box type in: slui.exe 3 and click on the icon that appears.

  2. Type in your Windows 7 25-character product key.
