Windows To Go: Frequently Asked Questions
.. Do I need to activate Windows To Go every time I roam?
No, Windows To Go requires volume activation; either using the Key Management Service (KMS) server in your
organization or using Active Directory based volume activation. The Windows To Go workspace will not need
to be reactivated every time you roam. KMS activates Windows on a local network, eliminating the need for
individual computers to connect to Microsoft. To remain activated, KMS client computers must renew their
activation by connecting to the KMS host on periodic basis. This typically occurs as soon as the user has access
to the corporate network (either through a direct connection on-premises or a through remote connection
using DirectAccess or a virtual private network connection), once activated the machine will not need to be
activated again until the activation validity interval has passed. In a KMS configuration the activation validity
interval is 180 days.
