Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB MAK - 20 Users

A purpose-built Windows for systems that must not change

Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB MAK - 20 Users is a volume licensing solution for organisations managing specialised, legacy, or isolated systems where operational stability and a predictable software surface matter more than feature updates. This is not a general-purpose desktop operating system for modern productivity suites or cloud-first workflows. It is a long-term servicing branch release—the original Windows 10 LTSB—designed for dedicated devices such as industrial controllers, medical imaging workstations, embedded kiosks, and air-gapped lab machines. The licence provides a Multiple Activation Key (MAK) for 20 users, delivered digitally with a clear, defined activation scope. For IT leads, procurement owners, and managed service providers who already understand the lifecycle implications, this SKU offers a legitimate, audit-ready path to reinstall or maintain a legacy compatibility environment when migration to a current LTSC release or Windows 11 is not yet feasible.

Key features and benefits

• Long-term servicing branch (LTSB) model — Receives only security and critical fixes for the supported lifecycle, eliminating feature updates that could destabilise validated applications or industrial workflows.
• 20-user MAK volume activation — A Multiple Activation Key grants a defined activation count without requiring a local KMS host, simplifying deployment for small server rooms, branch offices, or isolated networks.
• Enterprise-grade security foundation — Includes BitLocker Drive Encryption, AppLocker, Credential Guard, and Device Guard to enforce a hardened security posture on devices that handle sensitive or regulated data.
• Full desktop application compatibility — Runs the complete catalogue of Win32 and .NET applications, unlike Windows IoT editions, making it suitable for complex, multi-vendor industrial software stacks.
• No Microsoft Store or Cortana by default — The stripped-back user interface reduces distraction and attack surface, which is essential for kiosk, digital signage, and fixed-function workstation roles.
• Broad language support — Available in 23 interface languages including English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Japanese, supporting multinational rollouts from a single SKU.
• Defined user scope for compliance — The 20-user count provides a clear licensing boundary for internal software asset management, audits, and budget forecasting.
• Digital delivery with immediate access — Licence key, activation instructions, and invoice arrive by email, enabling same-day deployment for urgent reimaging or replacement scenarios.

What's included with your purchase

Your purchase secures a genuine Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB MAK volume licence for 20 users. You will receive a digital delivery package containing the Multiple Activation Key, a VAT invoice, and a concise activation guide. The installer link for the installation media follows in your customer account. This is a one-time, perpetual licence; it does not expire and is not tied to a recurring subscription. The MAK activation model means each of the 20 activations is validated once against Microsoft's activation service. Administrators should treat the key as a controlled asset and maintain an internal record of which devices or users consume each activation. The licence is compatible with Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB media and is intended for legacy reinstalls or isolated compatibility environments where the buyer accepts the lifecycle status.

Which Windows edition is right for you?

Choosing the correct Windows edition prevents procurement errors and ensures the operating system matches the operational reality of the target device. This table clarifies the distinctions.

• Windows 10 Home — A consumer edition for personal PCs and laptops. It lacks BitLocker, Remote Desktop host capability, Group Policy management, and domain join. Unsuitable for regulated or managed business environments.
• Windows 10 Pro — The standard business desktop edition. It adds domain join, BitLocker, Remote Desktop, and basic management features. Designed for general-purpose office PCs that receive regular feature updates.
• Windows 10 Enterprise — Builds on Pro with advanced security and management capabilities including AppLocker, DirectAccess, Credential Guard, and the ability to defer feature updates through the Semi-Annual Channel. Suited for medium-to-large organisations with dedicated IT staff.
• Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC/LTSB — A long-term servicing release derived from a specific Enterprise build. It strips out Microsoft Store apps, Cortana, and Edge Legacy, and receives only security updates for its lifecycle. Intended for specialised devices where application certification and operational predictability are paramount. The 2015 LTSB is the original release; newer LTSC versions (2016, 2019, 2021) offer longer support horizons.

This 2015 LTSB edition is for IT managers, system integrators, and device builders who maintain a validated software image on legacy hardware and cannot introduce feature updates without risking regulatory non-compliance or production downtime. It is not suitable for general office productivity, users who need Microsoft 365 integration, or organisations that require active Microsoft support.

System requirements / compatibility

Before deployment, verify that your target hardware meets these minimum specifications. These requirements are for the Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB image itself; your specific applications may demand more resources.

• Operating System: Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB installation media. This licence activates that specific edition.
• Processor: 1 GHz or faster compatible processor with support for PAE, NX, and SSE2.
• Memory: 2 GB minimum for 64-bit installations; 4 GB recommended for acceptable performance with security software and line-of-business applications.
• Storage: 32 GB or more of free disk space. Solid-state storage is strongly advised for any production system.
• Display: 800 x 600 minimum resolution.
• Internet: Required for licence activation via the MAK key and for downloading the installation media. Periodic connectivity may be needed for activation validation.
• Lifecycle Note: Microsoft extended support for Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB ended on 14 October 2025. This product is for legacy reinstalls or isolated compatibility scenarios where the buyer has accepted this lifecycle state and has a documented risk plan.
• Languages: The installation media is available in 23 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Polish, Dutch, Italian, Czech, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Greek, Hungarian, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Croatian, Bulgarian, Estonian, Lithuanian, and Latvian.

Installation and activation

Your licence key is delivered digitally. After completing your purchase on our Stripe-secured checkout, you will receive an email—typically within 60 seconds—containing your unique MAK key and step-by-step activation instructions. The installer link for this edition follows in your customer account.

To activate, install Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB using the downloaded media. When prompted, enter the MAK key. The system will contact Microsoft's activation service to validate the key and consume one activation from the 20-user pool. If activation fails, first verify that you have installed the correct LTSB edition and that the device has internet connectivity. Our free multilingual technical support team can assist with troubleshooting activation errors.

This is a perpetual licence. You may reinstall the software on the same device as many times as needed. However, each new activation on a different device or after a significant hardware change may consume an additional activation count from the MAK pool. Plan your 20 activations accordingly.

FAQ — frequently asked questions

Is this a subscription or a one-time purchase?

This is a one-time, perpetual licence. You pay once and the licence does not expire. It is not a monthly or annual subscription like Microsoft 365.

What is the difference between MAK and KMS activation?

A MAK (Multiple Activation Key) activates devices directly against Microsoft's hosted activation service, consuming one activation per device. A KMS (Key Management Service) requires your organisation to run a local activation server on your network. MAK is simpler for small deployments or isolated networks where running a KMS host is impractical.

How fast do I get my licence key?

Our system delivers the licence key and invoice by email in under 60 seconds on average after payment confirmation. Check your spam folder if it does not appear in your inbox. The installer link follows in your customer account.

Is this a genuine, legal Microsoft licence?

Yes. Every licence we sell is sourced from authorised European distribution and is genuine. You receive a verifiable product key and a full VAT invoice, which serves as your proof of licence for audit purposes.

What if I have trouble activating?

First, ensure you have installed the exact Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB edition and that the device has internet access. If the error persists, contact our free multilingual support team with your order number and the activation error code. We will guide you through resolution.

Can I reinstall or transfer the licence?

You can reinstall on the same device without consuming additional activations. Transferring the licence to a different device will consume another activation from your 20-user MAK pool. The licence is not designed for casual transfer between multiple users' primary PCs.

Does this licence work in my country?

Yes. This licence is valid for activation across all 27 European Union member states. The installation media supports 23 display languages, covering the majority of EU business languages.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept SEPA bank transfers, iDEAL, BLIK, Google Pay, and all major credit and debit cards. All payments are processed securely through Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified payment processor.

Do you provide a VAT invoice?

Yes. A full VAT invoice is included with every purchase. For B2B customers with a valid EU VAT ID, we can apply the reverse-charge mechanism where applicable.

What is your refund policy?

You have a 14-day right of withdrawal under EU consumer protection law. If the licence key has not been activated, we will issue a full refund. Contact our support team to initiate the process.

Is this Windows 10 version still supported by Microsoft?

No. Extended support for Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB ended on 14 October 2025. This product is intended for legacy reinstalls or isolated compatibility scenarios where the buyer has a documented risk acceptance plan.

Can I use this licence for a general office PC?

We strongly advise against it. This LTSB edition lacks modern browser support, Microsoft 365 integration, and feature updates. It is designed for fixed-function, industrial, or legacy systems. For a general office PC, a current Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC or Windows 11 Enterprise licence is far more appropriate.
