Hello All, I have installed a KMS host on Windows 2008 Server using the below commands.slmgr -ipk xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxafter that i gave the below command slmgr -ato and it gave me that if has been sucessfully activated.My question is Can I use Windows 2008 Server for activating both the Windows Vista and Windows 2008 Licenses ? If yes I tried to Input the Windows Vista Client Licenses using the same command on the KMS hostslmgr -ipk then vista key(xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx) but it returned with an error code.Thanks

Hello Sabresquad,The Server KMS hosts keys are hierarchical, so the Windows Server 2008 KMS host keys will activate Windows Vista clients.See the table on this link that talks about it.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc308698.aspxThanks, Darrell Gorter This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights

Hello Darrell, First of all Thanks for the link you have provided and please do understand that I am new to KMS and dont know much about. Please can you answer my question in a simple way.1)The things which I performed in the above post are correct ?? I refered this to do it.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625087.aspx2) Lets say that I have 25 Vista Licenses can I activate it using the same windows 2008 server which I activated. If yes please let me know the commands and also note that I have also refered the technet documentation and its bit confusing. Please let me know the excat command to activate Vista Licenses from my windows 2008 KMS host.Thanks

Hello Sabresquad,Yes the first set of commands is correct.let's check what you have installed on both the KMS host machine and the KMS client machine.Open an elevated cmd prompt.Right click on command Prompt on the start menu and choose to run as administrator.run slmgr /dlv and report back the output.Do this on the machine you activated and on one of the Windows Vista KMS clients machines.Thanks, Darrell Gorter This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights

Hello Syed,That is a KMShost machine, I also need to see the same output for the KMS client machines.I needed to see both, this is only one half of the data.Thanks, Darrell Gorter This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights

Hello Darrell, Ismy host machine ok ? is my KMS license activated properly ? How do I install the license key onmyWINDOWS 2008kms host to server windows vista clients ?Note: Syed to avoid the confusion I will follow the link completely.Cheers

Hello Sabresquad,I am getting confused was Syed posting your results from the your KMS host machine?That looked fine. The key installed activates both Vista and Server 2008 clientsThanks, Darrell Gorter This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights
