5. Activating Windows on Windows to Go Drives
Windows To Go requires volume activation; either using the Key Management Service (KMS) server
in your organization or using Active Directory based volume activation. Activation of a Windows to Go
drive should NOT be done using a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) or volume licensing.
When activated using KMS, a Windows To Go workspace does not need to be reactivated every time
you roam. KMS activates Windows on a local network, eliminating the need for individual computers
to connect to Microsoft. To remain activated, KMS client computers must renew their activation by
connecting to the KMS host on periodic basis. This typically occurs as soon as the user has access to the
corporate network, either through a direct connection on-premises or a through remote connection using
DirectAccess or a virtual private network connection.
Once activated, the machine will not need to be activated again until the activation validity interval has
passed. In a KMS configuration the activation validity interval is 180 days.
