    I would like to know if it is possible to install a single MAK license on more than one computer or if a MAK license only activates a single machine.

    Revert from win 11 MAK license back to OEM license.

    Hi,

    Recently I bought legion 5, which came with win 11 home single language version, and later my friend gave me MAK license of win 11 pro. I did activate the MAK license, but when I asked around the internet, I found that it is illegal to own MAK license if it is not provided by the company.

    Can I revert back to OEM license of win 11 home after I applied the MAK license? I am afraid that the MAK license overwrote the OEM license in the BIOS.

    MAK license?

    I just bought a new mini PC that came with Windows 10 Pro. I found out that it has a MAK license, not OEM or retail. This isn't right, is it? Shouldn't a new computer that I buy that comes with Windows 10 Pro preinstalled have either an OEM or Retail
    license, not MAK? This is a computer for my home.

    This is what it shows when running slmgr -dli...

    Question about MAK licensing

    Revert from win 11 MAK license back to OEM license.

    Hi Sumit,

    Thanks you so much for answering my question.

    Just to be clear, as I said before, if I do factory resest will it activate the OEM license came with the laptop? Because am afraid that the MAK license overwrote the OEM.
