KMS Server - Windows & Office

Question
-
Hello Everyone,
I think I know this answer but haven't been able to find documentation to confirm it. Our KMS Server is 2012 R2. I was going to update our Windows Key to the Windows 10 one (and apply the requisite patch). I then wanted to add our Office 2013 one. I'm assuming I can add both of these to one KMS Server because they are separate products and channels?
I didn't know if you could only have one per server.
Thanks!

Hi,
Windows and Office KMS host keys can both exist on the same KMS host.
Just add the Office 2013 KMS key to your existing KMS host. It will not overwrite your existing KMS configurations, both will remain usable.
More information about volume activation of Office 2013:
According to the following support article: Prepare and configure the Office KMS host
The best practice is to download and install the Microsoft Office 2013 Volume License Pack, which is required for Office 2013 KMS activation, you will be prompted for the Office 2013 KMS host key during the setup, input the product key and activate it online.

One question, I am able to run the 'nslookup' to determine the KMS Server. When I look at that server and see I don't not see a KMS Key listed for Office. Is there a way within Office to determine if KMS or MAK activation was used?
