To prevent the count from dropping below the minimum requirements, Microsoft recommends only using KMS on networks with at least 50 machines.
50
KMS Activation Validity Interval
## Footnote KMS activations expire every 180 days which is their validity interval. Clients attempt to renew activations every 7 days, if unsuccessful for 180 days the product activation expires.
