Windows 7 Activation
I have been asked to start ramping up on Windows 7. Company provided me with Windows 7 Enterprise media with a valid KMS key. Of course, the only time I have to work on a new system is at home. Will I be able to activate a stand alone version of Windows 7 using this Enterprise version and the KMS key that was provided? I know the new KMS activation wants to check in with AD and KMS host every so often, but I don't plan on having an AD environment or KMS host at home. Am I out of luck with this license key or do I have any options?

Can you VPN to your work LAN from home? Should activate without problem, and will help you troubleshoot other things that may be specific to your LAN, like shares, printers, internal SharePoint sites, etc.
But...then you're doing more work at home.

No need of a domain, you can use kms to activate workstations on a workgroup.
