Add additional licenses to KMS

Hello Friends

I have installed a KMS server for Office 2013, which is working fine. I used a KMS key with 50 Office licenses to activate it. I have since purchased a pack of 10 additional licenses, which comes with its own key. I want to add these 10 licenses to my current KMS server. There are lots of discussions about it to be found but none clear enough to make me comfortable. I am using the 50 licenses in a virtual desktop environment, and if I accidentally clear out the old key, office will fail for all users. I am still unsure if i use slmgr.vb /ipk if that will add the ten licenses, or overwrite the current license key with the 50 licenses. Please advise, and thank you! - Scott

Hi,

As far as I know, we can use Volume Activation Management Tool to manage Key Management Service (KMS) host keys (CSVLK).

Then, we use slmgr.vb to manage Volume Activation

Hope it's helpful.
