You don't have to enter a key to activate a product as a GVLK, unless you're converting a MAK-activated product to a KMS activation. GVLKs are already installed in volume license editions of these products. By default, volume license editions of Windows Vista, Windows® 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server® 2012, and Microsoft® Office 2010 use KMS for activation. This type of activation can be performed on either Core Network or Isolated Lab computers. In this scenario, you use the Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) to activate Key Management Service (KMS) client keys or Generic Volume License Keys (GVLKs).
