								designed for medium and large businesses. In a standard SOHO

							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								environment you enter a product key during installation and
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								then activate your product over the Internet. This is done
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								by sending a request to a server at microsoft.com which then
							 |

							 |

								Yes and no. KMS activation was designed for large

							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								corporations. Thus Microsoft designed KMS in a way that

							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								corporations can configure their network infrastructure to
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								fully automate KMS activation. Since this involves DHCP and
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								DNS, it is not that easy to accomplish that for home users.
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								However, if you are using an open source router firmware
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								like OpenWRT or DD-WRT, it is easy to customize DHCP and
