is it possiable to have 1 KMS server for: server 2008 r2 server 2008 win 7 pro win 7 ent ?Danny G Guillory Jr. FollowMe - http://twitter.com/#!/dguilloryjr

According to Microsoft's website on the subject, yes. You can have 1 KMS server for activating multiple different OSes. http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/product-activation.aspx Here are some caveats for setting it up: Windows Server 2008 is not supported as a KMS host to activate Windows 7 and Office 2010. A patch is available to allow activation of Windows 7 client machines. (A Windows Server 2008 R2 KMS key is required.) A patch is not available to allow activation of Office 2010 clients. If you are using Windows Server 2008 as a KMS host, here are your alternatives: Upgrade the KMS host machine to Windows Server 2008 R2. Downgrade the machine to Windows Server 2003. Run the KMS host on a Windows 7 volume edition machine. Run a Windows Server 2003 virtual machine on the Windows Server 2008 machine. If you found this post helpful, please give it a "Helpful" vote.
