I'm trying to get my head around this and reading has me even more confused than when I started.
We have a server 08 machine which is activated using the server 08 kms key. I'm trying to use this same server as the KMS host for our Vista clients. The docs say to install the KMS keys only on kms hosts, not clients. No matter what I do, I can't get the vista KMS key to install on the server 08 machine. I run the cscript \windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk vista-kms-key, all 25 characters with dashes and it tells me the license key was not installed. The error is 0x2a 0xc004f015 Slui with that error doesn't give any useful info. I don't see any reference that I can install more than one key on any KMS host. Am I going to have to set up a second KMS server and only add the vista key to it? Am I totally misunderstanding something or should I call MS and make sure the keys are valid? Call me confused. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
