Depending upon the type of Volume Licensing agreement your organisation has in place, your benefits/entitlements may vary.
Or, perhaps your access within VLSC is restricted ?
Or, the benefit may have expired?
Or, it *is* there, but it's named in a confusing or unexpected way? (MSFT are quite good at doing that :(
When I check VLSC for my organisation, I find it easier to export all keys to CSV/Excel, and then review that. (Perhaps because we are quite a large organisation with many years of contract history and lots of products).
Alright, I contacted Microsoft and here's the response I received:
Please note that upon purchasing licenses, the Multiple Activation Key (MAK) should populate the Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) website. Except for KMS keys as its automatic provisioning has been eliminated. This is to reduce high volume of KMS keys that are currently provisioned in VLSC website. This will also prevent some customers from using incorrect key when attempting to activate their software and to reduce exposure to risk.
As at turns out, you need to contact Microsoft to have them generate a KMS key for you.
