ITGURU Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Hi I currently have a 2008 R2 server activating Windows 7 and Office 2010 clients via KMS. I'm looking to migrate this over to Server 2012 R2, but cannot for the life of me find where I got the KMS HOST key from to activate. It's been so long ago since setting up the original host. I've looked under our license list and there isn't a KMS key that specifically says for the host? is there a special one for the HOST or do I just apply the 2012 R2 normal KMS key listed as below, and that will allow Server 2012 R2 clients to activate, then apply the Windows 7 one or does this key cover both?

Tricky Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 In the Microsoft VLSCR website, if you go to Licences > Rel Summary > select active agreement > product keys Do you have the Windows 7 VLK there? That's the one for the server.

That's the one for the server. Under the product keys I only have a VLK for office 2007. Only other 1 I have is: Win 7 - KMS - guess this is it? Then a Windows Srv 2012R2 DataCtr/Std KMS which I assume be for the servers to activate against?
sidewinder Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 The server keys usually activate servers and client versions of the same level and below, so the 2012 KMS should do W7
