Hey folks, is anyone delivering Windows 11 via MCS/PVS? I have a client currently on Windows 10 (PVS) potentially moving to Windows 11 (MCS) and I'm looking to confirm license options considering mak, kms, m365 (if supported). They will need to order more Win11 licensing but I want to make sure they are going with the best option from a cost and flexibility perspective, cheers

MCS works best with KMS in my opinion.

KMS or ADBA
Honestly haven’t looked at MAK in years
I do know they made some enhancements for MAK and MCS over the last year.

Thanks, lads. Yeah i noticed a while back MAK was now supported for MCS. If a user is licensed for Win11 Ent via M365 could that be used in a pool non-persistent config? cheers

It is also covered by your MS VDA license if you have one. New OS is always free.

They do have MAK support now for OS to help pull from that pool and not exhaust them, but honestly not something I have ever wanted to try to see how sweet it is. All of mine are still either device activated from Azure (my ones that can do that) or volume activated through old school KMS or ADBA.

Yea same here, KMS or ADBA. I had on customer that wanted to do MAK with MCS but we never got the chance to try it.
