Microsoft offers two ways of Windows and MS Office activation for corporate customers under the volume license program. They can use MAK and KMS keys for activation.

MAK (Multiple Activation Keys)—MAK license is like a Retail (box) license, but allows to activate several copies of Windows using a single MAK key. The number of activations limited. It depends on the type of your license agreement (Open, Select, or Enterprise Agreement). You must activate Windows copy with the MAK key installed via the Internet or by phone;
KMS (Key Management Service)—this is an activation type for enterprise customers. The KMS activation server allows to activate corporate versions of Windows OSs and Microsoft Office products within the enterprise network. The KMS infrastructure is very simple: install Volume Activation Services role on Windows Server, add your KMS Host Key (from Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center), and activate your corporate KMS server on Microsoft (perform this only once). After that, your enterprise KMS clients can send activation requests to the KMS server and activate with it.
The main advantages of KMS activation:

KMS clients do not need to access the Internet or the phone to activate the product. Only network access to the KMS server is required;
The KMS client is being activated on the internal KMS server for 180 days and attempts to renew the activation every 7 days;
In case the KMS server is damaged or lost, there is nothing to restore from backup on the KMS server. Install a new server, install KMS role, enter the KMS host key, activate—and everything is ready to go!;
Instead of a KMS activation, in the AD domain you can use the Active Directory optimized version—ADBA (Active Directory Based Activation);
KMS infrastructure is simple and extensible, one KMS server can serve thousands of clients.
