KMS Issue

-

hi,

hopefully can me.

my customer has windows 2008r2 server running kms.   can see via vmat have 2 kms keys installed both office 2010 , windows server working fine.   

i need add kms key windows 7 , generic msg stating "the software licensing service reported license not installed. 

i'm using valid kms key.   missing something?  need our windows 7 clients activated.

many in advance

you can't input win7 kmshost pkey server os. server os can accept server kmshost pkey.

server os configured kmshost, can issue activations client os's without other configuration, providing "generation" of installed pkey equal or greater of kmshost.

e.g. winvista/ws2008 same "generation". win7/ws2008r2 same generation. win8/ws2012 same generation. win8.1/ws2012r2 same generation.

so, ws2008 kmshost can activate vista, not win7 (unless update ws2008 machine patch allows accept later generation pkey, install later generation pkey, , activate that. kmshost can issue activations , including later generation (e.g. install ws2012 kmshost pkey , can activate win8).
