Legacy Update: Get back online, activate, and install updates on your legacy Windows PC

Volume Activation is a configurable solution that helps IT pros automate and manage the product-activation process on computers that are running the Windows Vista®, Windows® 7, Windows Server® 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems licensed under a Microsoft® Volume Licensing program and other programs that provide Volume License editions of Windows. This guide provides planning steps and scenarios to assist in planning a Volume Activation deployment specifically for the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems.

Note This document provides Volume Activation planning guidance for the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems. However, this guide does address interoperability between both generations of products. For more information about planning Volume Activation for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, see Volume Activation 2.0 Technical Guidance on the Microsoft Web site ( http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75674).
