Here is everything you need to know about managing WKS-KEYS efficiently. In the context of Microsoft Volume Licensing, wks-keys refer to the Windows Professional (or Enterprise) workstation activation keys.
You cannot legally deploy a custom Windows image to 100 computers without using a Volume License WKS-KEY—even if those machines came with OEM digital licenses. Treat your wks-keys like ammunition: keep them organized, don't waste them (MAKs), and know how to deploy them remotely. If you haven't migrated to Active Directory-Based Activation yet, make that your Q3 project.
