Windows Vista Enterprise and Windows Vista Enterprise with SP1 are designed to be activated with Key Management Service (KMS) by default. In order to activate using the Multiple Activation Key (MAK), you will need to follow these steps after installation completes:

Go to Start

Click Control Panel

Choose System and Maintenance

Choose System

At the bottom is Windows activation

Click Change product key (do not select automatic activation as this is the KMS option)

Use the key titled Windows Vista Enterprise

Click Next

After a minute you should see the Activation was successful confirmation 

If you try to activate without changing KMS to MAK, you will receive this error message:
