Breakdown MS Volume Licensing for me...

[jtr8178]

I've watched the videos, read the literature, but I'm still confused.

I purchased 2 Win 7 Pro licenses. I log into the MS Volume Licensing Service Center, and it shows I have 50 licenses available. I've used 3 now, but only paid for 2 ... Does MS catch up with me somehow through the distributor I've used, or is this some type of honor system?

My understanding for MAK activation is they give you a block to start with (for re-installs etc). X amount for Y bought. 50 for 1 bought, not sure when the next block kicks in.

I read once you hit that mark from re-installs etc. it's phone call to MS time.

Seems crazy to give me 50 for only 2 bought ... I'm guessing that I'm supposed to keep track somehow. Oh well, I'll deal with it when I get close the limit.
