Hi there
Ive a few questions about Office install using a KMS generic key. And piracy.
In general , when would a Office Install via a KMS key be valid & not pirated ?
My (limited) understanding is KMS is Vol Lic key for when a companies IT has a setup a KMS Lic Server ?
ie never on a home use PC (?)
Just asking as I have someone elses PC here & the Office Install key is a generic KMS (I googled the key)
Im 95% sure its pirated , & I told the owner its probably pirated
But, in general, would there be any instance that a home users PC would genuinely have a KMS Office KEY ? Perhaps if the company where she previously worked installed it on her PC ?
How does KMS activation work, via a local server ? I saw something re needing to be 25 PC's on the network?
Would there be any genuine reason for a PC repair company to install a Vol Lic ? (I know that sometimes happens)
Once installed via KMS, does Office not do any periodic check to see if the lic is valid ?
Im surprised the Office install on this PC hasnt been flagged as pirated allready
