Taking Advantage of Volume Licensing : KMS and the Client (part 2)

After establishing a TCP session with the KMS host, the client sends a single request packet and the KMS host responds with the activation count. If the count is equal to or greater than the activation threshold for that operating system, the client will be activated and the session is closed.

Taking Advantage of Volume Licensing : KMS and the Client (part 1) - Changing the Client License Type After Installation & Postponing Activation

There are several scenarios in which you want to postpone activation, such as when you are testing functionality of the operating system or applications running on top of the operating system for a certain amount of time.

Windows 7 Kernel Mode Drivers Overview and Operations : KMDF I/O Model (part 2)

The WDFREQUEST object is the KMDF representation of an IRP. When an I/O request arrives, the I/O handler creates a WDFREQUEST object, queues the object, and eventually passes the object to the driver in its I/O callback function.

Windows 7 Kernel Mode Drivers Overview and Operations : KMDF I/O Model (part 1) - I/O Request Handler

The I/O request handler dispatches I/O requests to the driver, manages I/O cancellation and completion, and works with the Plug and Play/power handler to ensure that the device state is compatible with performing device I/O.

Windows 7 Kernel Mode Drivers Overview and Operations : KMDF Object Model

Each object exports methods (functions) and properties (data) that drivers can access and is associated with object-specific events, which drivers can support by providing event callbacks. The objects themselves are opaque to the driver.

Windows 7 Kernel Mode Drivers Overview and Operations (part 2) - Device Objects and Driver Roles

Depending on the design of the device and the other drivers in the device stack, a driver might assume one or more of these roles. Each Plug and Play device has one function driver and one bus driver, but can have any number of filter drivers.
