Good morning, i have one peculiar situation. I've installed 3 servers with company VLK license. One consultant installed 4 servers with standard win2008 cd & key. The result is, that i don't meet the kms quota. Is there any way how to change the 4 win 2008 to activate with KMS ? I've already tried wth slmg -skms <server>, however the slmg.vbs displays an output simillar to what comes out on the KMS server. I dont see sppsvc.exe so KMS isnt installed on those servers. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, According to the description, the issue seems to be related to Activation. As we mainly focus on the General question about Windows Server system and here is not the best support resource for Activation. If you want to do the further research about Windows licensing, it is recommend you to contact Microsoft Licensing center so that you can get the most qualified pool of respondents. Thanks for your understanding. http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/contact-us.aspx Best regards, Vincent Hu
