Most Windows 7 licenses at <span class="caps">UCLA</span> should be deployed via UCLA’s <span class="caps">KMS</span> over the network.

However, some users’ systems are offline and hence will require that you use a <span class="caps">MAK</span>.

 slmgr -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx  
 Note In this command, xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx represents your <span class="caps">MAK</span> product key.
