I have a Multiple Activation Key from my Technet subscription for Windows 8 Enterprise, and wanted to
find out how many activations I am allowed, and how many I have left. I was advised by a colleague to
download and install the Volume Activation Management Tool 2.0 from Microsoft.
Whilst using this tool, I've found what appears to be a rather serious bug. It does not allow entry of the
product key I wish to manage. If I copy/paste the key under Add Product Keys, it deliberately ignores
one of the characters in the second section of the product key, specifically the letter N.
If I attempt to enter the key manually, it says Invalid character in the product key when I come to this
particular letter. On further investigation, VAMT 2.0 sees several other letters as invalid characters.
It wrongly says all of the following letters are invalid characters - A - E - I - L - N - O - U - S - Z .
This bug makes it impossible to add the product key, and almost impossible to add any other key.
