KMS Reactivation Threshold 180 Days

$

Hello All,

I know that the KMS Host has a Activation Renewal parameter and it works as below.

KMS Activation Renewal

KMS activations are valid for 180 days. This is called the activation validity interval. To remain activated, KMS clients must renew their activation by connecting to the KMS host at least once every 180 days. By default, KMS client computers attempt to renew their activation every seven days. IF KMS activation fails, the client will retry every two hours. After a client’s activation is renewed, the activation validity interval begins again.

I am tryring to understand the rationale behind setting this Renewal. If it's on the Network(LAN), why isn't it set to no expiry once activated? Is there a security reason?

Any help on this will be appreciated.

regards,

Avis
