Win 7 and Win 8 KMS from Server 2008R2
hi,
we're running server 2008r2 , windows 7, workstations activated kms.
we're planning deploy windows 8 workstations, , activate kms also. can adding kms key existing kms server on 2008r2?
i can't find explicitly says whether or not can run 2 kms keys side-by-side. impression looking @ comments here that i'll need set server 2012 machine windows 8 kms, don't have authority bring in new server os.
is possible?
you can install update support activation of windows server 2012\windows 8 on existing windows 2008 r2 system. take @ one:
an update available windows 7 , windows server 2008 r2 kms hosts support windows 8 , windows server 2012
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2691586
the key piece *think* looking is:
"kms host key associated windows client operating systems cannot installed on windows server operating systems, , vice-versa. true windows operating systems except windows server 2003. if install kms host key on windows operating system not associated host key, receive following error message:
0xc004f015: software licensing service reported license not installed.
sl_e_product_sku_not_installed"
most customers have spoken have intention of supporting server , client skus install windows server 2012 kms host key activates win8 clients.
