## Activation
The underlying Windows 10 Pro license must be activated prior to Subscription Activation of Windows 10 Enterprise.
Procedures in this topic provide a Windows 10 Pro Generic Volume License Key (GVLK). Activation with this key is accomplished using a Volume License KMS activation server provided by the QMTH. Alternatively, a KMS activation server on your corporate network can be used if you have configured a private connection, such as [ExpressRoute](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/expressroute/) or [VPN Gateway](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/vpn-gateway/).
For examples of activation issues, see [Troubleshoot the user experience](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/deploy-enterprise-licenses#troubleshoot-the-user-experience).
