Looking for retail activation?

You can monitor the success of the activation process for a computer running Windows 8.1 in several ways. The most popular methods include:

  • Using the Volume Licensing Service Center website to track use of MAK keys.

  • Using the Slmgr /dlv command on a client computer or on the KMS host. (For a full list of options, see Slmgr.vbs Options.)

  • Viewing the licensing status, which is exposed through Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI); therefore, it is available to non-Microsoft or custom tools that can access WMI. (Windows PowerShell can also access WMI information.)

  • Most licensing actions and events are recorded in the Event log.

  • Microsoft System Center Operations Manager and the KMS Management Pack can provide insight and information to users of System Center Operations Manager.

  • The VAMT provides a single site from which to manage and monitor volume activations. This is explained in the next section.
