While not highly restricted, we ask that if you connect to any Duke network on a regular basis that you use the KMS method of activation. If you are having difficulty activating via KMS, please try to troubleshoot the error before resorting to the MAK. We have a limited number of MAK activations available. You may request a special MAK by e-mailing [email protected]. Requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by OIT. Students graduating or leaving Duke may not request a MAK to keep KMS-activated copies of windows activated once they leave Duke.
