Remaining MAK Tool

Description

Microsoft has made the Volume Activation Management Tool to check license usage. For MAK (Multiple Activation Keys) you can view how many activations are remaining. Since we didn’t want to start the tool every morning, I started debugging the application and made this thingy.

Dependencies

This tool requires python3, lxml and requests to function.

Usage

Standalone tool:
$ python3 mak.py product_key_id

Nagios check:
$ python3 check_mak.py product_key_id warning_limit critical_limit

Nagios command example

define command {
    command_name    check-mak-remaining
    command_line    /usr/local/lib/nagios/plugins/check_mak.py $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$
}
