Как определить, является ли лицензия Windows 10 OEM, Retail или Volume (MAK/KMS)
Мы все слышали о Windows Keys все время. Этот ключ продукта активирует Windows на вашем компьютере, поэтому вы можете использовать его без каких-либо ограничений. Есть несколько мест, где вы можете купить ключ Windows. Это может быть продавец или поставщик, который продает компьютер с предустановленной Windows, или когда ваш ИТ-администратор подключает его к корпоративной сети.
Типы Windows 10 Лицензия или Ключ
Существует три типа ключей, и важно, чтобы вы знали, какой ключ вы получили. Я объясню причину в конце поста.
Розничные ключи
Вы получаете этот ключ, когда покупаете лицензию на Windows 10 в Microsoft Store или розничном магазине. Обычно это 25 буквенно-цифровой ключ, который вы вводите в настройках активации. Он проверяется, и если он действителен, копия Windows активируется.
OEM-ключи
OEM или производители компьютеров заключают сделку с Microsoft. Они продают компьютер с копией Windows, которая уже активирована. Даже после переустановки копия активируется. Производители вставляют этот ключ в микропрограмму UEFI компьютера. Это также означает, что вы не можете перенести ключи на любой другой компьютер. Теперь вы знаете, почему они продают Windows по более низкой цене.
Корпоративное лицензирование (MAK/KMS)
Предприятие покупает Windows лицензию оптом в рамках Программы корпоративного лицензирования. По этой схеме есть два типа ключей – MAK и KMS. Ключи MAK можно использовать только один раз, а ключи KMS можно использовать снова.
Как определить, является ли лицензия Windows 10 OEM, Retail или Volume
Средство управления лицензированием программного обеспечения (slmgr) – это инструмент командной строки, который используется для нескольких целей. Одним из них является проверка типа лицензии Windows 10.
Откройте командную строку и выполните следующую команду:
Здесь параметр dli будет отображать информацию о текущей лицензии со статусом активации и частичным ключом продукта.
Откроется небольшое окно с информацией о ключе. Формат будет таким, как показано ниже:
- Название:
- Описание
- Частичный ключ продукта
- Статус лицензии.
Описание будет включать тип лицензии.
- Розничный канал
- Канал OEM_DM
- Volume_MAK
- VOLUME_KMS.
Если ключ вы купили в розничном магазине, но он оказался ключом MAK, вам нужно получить новый ключ. Кто-то, возможно, взял ключ MAK и KMS и продал его в качестве розничного ключа. Возможно, вы не сможете использовать ключи после переустановки. Ключи OEM_DM и ключи канала розничной торговли в порядке, так как их можно без проблем использовать повторно.
Windows 10 activation code VOLUME_MAK retail
I bought a activation code from a store I installed it and it works fine.
But I saw a lot of OEM keys and such, in mine it said VOLUME_MAK channel and in configextension = retail.
I understood shorly from reading abit about VOLUME_MAK that this license is more for companys and if they disable it, it will be disabled for my computer too I don’t know that’s why i’m asking you.
Thank you, Daniel Mizrahi.

The VOLUME license is for business only, so it is illegal to use on an home user computer. Also, VOLUME license will expire some day and could be reactivated only with KMS.
I suggest you to buy a proper license from Microsoft Store.
Please let me know if you need more information or help.

Hi,

Yes, it is a Multiple Activation key license. It is used in organizations. Now, what happens is, If Microsoft detects that this key is misused, they can block it.
Either they can run forever or can stop working anytime.
Beware of Product Keys Sold Separately
With the exception of Product Key Cards (PKC’s) distributed with COA’s, Microsoft does not distribute products keys as standalone products. If you see a listing on an auction site, online classified ad, or other online page advertising product keys for sale, it’s a good indication that the keys are likely stolen or counterfeit. If you were to purchase and use a stolen or counterfeit product key to activate Windows installed on your PC, the key may not work for activation, may already be in use on another PC, or it might be blocked from use later by Microsoft when the key is reported stolen.

Hey Stefano thank you for your help.
Yes indeed I need more help I went to Microsoft site and sawy windows home which is the one I want.
I say buying «Download» or «USB» which means download I can do from my computer and Microsoft will supply the the OEM key or something else, and USB means a USB will be sent to my house through mailing it will help me a lot if you could clarify to me what each of this option purchase mean.

The download option let you install Windows 10 Home directly on your device, without make you wait for the installation USB. They will send you the product key to your email.
The USB option will make you wait some days to receive the installation USB, that will be sent to your home or if you prefer, to the nearest Microsoft store.
The license in both case is RETAIL, that means you would be able in future to transfer it from a device to another.
If you have Windows 10 installed at the moment, I would suggest you to pick the Download option, because you can make a bootable USB at any moment and for free from Microsoft website.
Thank you Stefano.
ok I will pick download because I don’t have couple of days I need it now, and it’s not a problem for me to make a bootable driver and it seems to be the best options for me at the moment. you saying that license of both options is the same? and not that VOLUME MAK thing, so the license will be mine and only mine without being depended on other computers? and 100% legal to use?
and what it means that in the future I will be able to pass it from one device to other? isn’t product key is a 1 time use?
