We are using the Volume Activation Management Tool to do proxy activations for our Windows 2008 servers. I have a 2008 (virtual) server that was activated using this, and had to be replaced with a new VM. I am therefore getting ready to decommission/delete this server, but wasn't sure if I needed to deactive/release the license it had. We have select licensing and the counts show up on our MS licensing site. It would seem logical to me that we would have to deactivate it to "free" the license, but I don't see anything like that as an option in VAMT. I do have an option to delete, but I'm pretty sure that simply removes the server from the list. I do understand that you are on the honor system to some degree with the counts, but hate to have it continue to show as a used license.
