MAK Key activation

When we build you VDI for Win11 pro, What the behaviour to activate Win11 with MAK?
Let's say we provision x10 Win11, then do the Windows update in the golden image then push the updated version to original x10 VDI. Will MAK count if we update VDI from the image?

Updating the golden image and pushing updates to existing Windows 11 Pro VDIs will not consume additional MAK counts, as long as the VDIs are not re-created or re-activated. MAK consumption only occurs when a new VDI instance is activated or when the VM hardware identity changes.
