Call me "stupid the Friday before a long weekend", but I'm not following.
When I look at our license numbers on MVLS, it actually says "25/1000", for instance, next to the license info. Something has to be updating that number, whether it be the KMS server or workstation itself, right? Don Guyer Systems Engineer - Information Services Prudential, Fox & Roach/Trident Group 431 W.

All it does is act as an internal activation service. -Malcolm From: Tom Miller [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2010 13:31 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: re: Windows 7: buy PCs with license or withhout Microsoft charity licensing is excellent and I usually use that. But the potential problem is how do I tie OEM licenses to a volume license since I'd use a volume license in my image? I don't want Windows 7 machines built with my image halting due to "licensing issues" as the KMS system doesn't realize it has enough licenses. Apologies if this is not clear - hope I using the correct terminology. >>> "Paul Hutchings" <[email protected]> 9/2/2010 2:19 PM >>> Unless you're on an enterprise agreement or "something" where you have the pricing sorted, I've never known it be cheaper to not buy OEM - the price difference has usually made it a no-brainer. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
