Once your order has been received, we will deliver your product key and all you have left to do will be to install and activate the ESU on each of your devices as per these instructions summarized below. Questions? Reach out to us using the chat in the lower right-hand corner of your screen.

In this post, I assume that you already have the new key to install; we will cover the technical part of using VAMT to activate that new key. For more details on buying Extended Security Updates visit Microsoft Volume Licensing.

Can you use the Proxy activation with a KMS server in a different domain provided firewall ports are open? We have 2 domains, with a DMZ in the middle, I want to install VAMT on the DMZ server [ports will be opened between it and the 2 domains] and use activate the KMS Client keys from Domain 2, against the KMS Server in Domain 1.

The ActivationWs GitHub repository is a customizable solution for the distribution and activation of multiple activation keys (MAK). It consists of an ASP.NET web service and a PowerShell script to install and activate the MAK.

After you have purchased the ESU, you can install and activate window 7 or server 2008/R2 devices using Configuration Manager task sequence or scripting or by other means. There are multiple posts on the internet on how to install ESU.

Thanks for the positive feedback.There are many blogs post out there on the internet to apply the ESU keys using SCCM but i have used the task sequence to install the prereq required for it and then deploy the ESU keys.

I can't believe Microsoft is not helping with this, relying on very kludgy methods to both install, activate and keep track of keys. VAMT is not really a great solution either. I can't believe that slmgr.vbs has been completely rewritten in powershell yet. Also I can believe that there isn't something that even if they want hide from us mere mortal can't be exposed to SCCM and or Intune so it shows up in console.

On-premises customers that purchase Extended Security Updates will receive an add-on key to activate Extended Security Updates through the volume licensing portal (VLSC) or alternatively, go to Azure Portal to do download keys (link to service). Once customers purchase Extended Security Updates and download the Extended Security Update Keys, they must first install the pre-requisite packages outlined in our IT Pro Blog (or any later SSUs/rollups) before deploying and activating the keys on your applicable machines. Specific KB information can be found in that blog post.

Once Extended Security Updates keys are activated, and they add the ability to receive Extended Security Updates. They do not replace the current product activation key (e.g. OEM, KMS), nor do they re-activate the system. Customers will need to install a new Extended Security Updates key each year they have Extended Security Updates deployed.

Once you have the installation ID, call the Microsoft Licensing Activation Center for your region. They will walk you through the steps to get the confirmation ID. Use slmgr /atp to activate the ESU SKU using the confirmation ID obtained in the above step.

Anyone who administers Windows PCs in a large organization with an active volume licensing contract has it easy. They can deploy ESU to Windows 7 devices by downloading a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) from the Volume Licensing Service Center and then installing a few servicing stack updates and using a command-line tool to register the new key. 2b1af7f3a8
