- Key Management Service (KMS) is a genuine activation method provided by Microsoft for volume licensing customers (organizations, schools, or governments). The machines in those environments (called KMS clients) are activated via the Environment KMS Host Server (authorized Microsoft's licensing key), instead of Microsoft activation servers. By design, the KMS activation period lasts up to 180 Days (6 Months) at max, with the ability to renew and reinstate the period at any time. Activation renewal automatically happens every 7 days if the client can connect to the KMS host server.

- Edition examples include options such as Home, Pro, and Enterprise.
- - Maximum support on the same build is usually [2 years](https://learn.microsoft.com/lifecycle/products/windows-11-home-and-pro) for consumers and [3 years](https://learn.microsoft.com/lifecycle/products/windows-11-enterprise-and-education) for the enterprise.

2) **LTSC** (Long-Term Servicing Channel)
- It is designed for devices where functionality and features must remain constant over time, such as medical systems, industrial controllers, and air traffic control devices.
- Examples of editions include: Enterprise LTSC and IoT Enterprise LTSC.
- - Maximum support on the same build is usually [5 years](https://learn.microsoft.com/lifecycle/products/windows-11-enterprise-ltsc-2024) for LTSC and [10 years](https://learn.microsoft.com/lifecycle/products/windows-11-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2024) for the IoT LTSC.
