The Subscription Activation feature eliminates the need to manually deploy Enterprise or Education edition images on each target device, then later standing up on-prem key management services such as KMS or MAK based activation, entering Generic Volume License Keys (GVLKs), and subsequently rebooting client devices.

- **Windows 8.1** added support for a Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 8.1 Enterprise in-place upgrade (considered a “repair upgrade” because the OS version was the same before and after).  This was a lot easier than wipe-and-load, but it was still time-consuming.<br>
- **Windows 10, version 1507** added the ability to install a new product key using a provisioning package or using MDM to change the SKU.  This required a reboot, which would install the new OS components, and took several minutes to complete. However, it was a lot quicker than in-place upgrade.<br>
- **Windows 10, version 1607** made a big leap forward.

### Scenarios
#### Scenario #1
You are using Windows 10, version 1803 or above, and just purchased Windows 10 Enterprise E3 or E5 subscriptions (or have had an E3 or E5 subscription for a while but haven’t yet deployed Windows 10 Enterprise).
You're using Windows 10, version 1803 or above, and purchased Windows 10 Enterprise E3 or E5 subscriptions (or have had an E3 or E5 subscription for a while but haven't yet deployed Windows 10 Enterprise).
All of your Windows 10 Pro devices will step-up to Windows 10 Enterprise, and devices that are already running Windows 10 Enterprise will migrate from KMS or MAK activated Enterprise edition to Subscription activated Enterprise edition when a Subscription Activation-enabled user signs in to the device.
#### Scenario #2
Using Azure AD-joined devices or Active Directory-joined devices running Windows 10 1709 or later, and with Azure AD synchronization configured, just follow the steps in [Deploy Windows 10 Enterprise licenses](deploy-enterprise-licenses.md) to acquire a $0 SKU and get a new Windows 10 Enterprise E3 or E5 license in Azure AD. Then, assign that license to all of your Azure AD users. These can be AD-synced accounts.  The device will automatically change from Windows 10 Pro to Windows 10 Enterprise when that user signs in.

### Licenses
The following policies apply to acquisition and renewal of licenses on devices:
- Devices that have been upgraded will attempt to renew licenses about every 30 days, and must be connected to the Internet to successfully acquire or renew a license.
- If a device is disconnected from the Internet until its current subscription expires, the operating system will revert to Windows 10/11 Pro or Windows 10/11 Pro Education. As soon as the device is connected to the Internet again, the license will automatically renew.
- Up to five devices can be upgraded for each user license. If the user license is used for a sixth device, the operating system on the computer to which a user has not logged in the longest will revert to Windows 10/11 Pro or Windows 10/11 Pro Education.
- Up to five devices can be upgraded for each user license. If the user license is used for a sixth device, the operating system on the computer to which a user hasn't logged in the longest will revert to Windows 10/11 Pro or Windows 10/11 Pro Education.
- If a device meets the requirements and a licensed user signs in on that device, it will be upgraded.
Licenses can be reallocated from one user to another user, allowing you to optimize your licensing investment against changing needs.
