Ihave anew win2008 server that requires KMS to activate. I dontnot have 20+ machines with VLM keys so there is no way i can activate (heck i only have 1!). What are my options - will microsoft provide me with a key that will activate?

Hello,Where did you get your media? Normally the product key is recieved with or at the location that you recieved your DVDs or your download.Thanks, Darrell Gorter[MSFT] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights

we usually have OEM installs - this time they sent me a server with a VLK. The key really isnt the issue here though.The problem is that, from what i read, there is no way for me to activate since i haveless then20 VLK activations...

Hello,If the media is VL, there are the KMS keys and there are MAK keys. Your license agreement should have both available.You need to request the MAK key. These work similar to Retail activation, but they allow for multiple machine activations.If you do not meet the KMS or KMS doesn't work for your scenarios, the MAK key is available.Thanks, Darrell Gorter[MSFT] This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights
