Windows 10 LTSC 2019 Activation

[Jaan]

I know this is an older thread, but we have Server 2016 DCs and we cannot get Windows 10 LTSC 2019 to activate at all!!

Is the solution to install this role on a Server 2019 box then? What a faff Microsoft

Also if this is the case, can anyone confirm that having ADBA running on 2 servers will not break things? We activate office etc and stuff too via the existing 2016 box.

 

Thanks

 

As soon as we spun up a 2019 server and added adba it worked fine... we also use the 2019 vm to activate office.... so we retired our 2016 "kms" server

 

hope that helps

Worked thanks Just removed the key, readded from a 2019 server using ADBA and it activated. Microsoft confuses me lol

Worked for me

 

I have a Windows server 2012 R2 KMS server

Added a "Windows Server 2019 Datacenter" KMS key into the KMS server

 

I could activate a Windows 10 enterprise LTSC machine using the generic key M7XTQ-FN8P6-TTKYV-9D4CC-J462D from https://docs.microsoft.com/is-is/windows-server/get-started/kmsclientkeys

I just ran slmgr.vbs /ipk Windows 2019 KMS server key in our portal. That will activate everything down. Even if you don't own 2019 you should still get the server kms key to use. I called Microsoft for the 2016 issues a few years ago and that is what they told me to do. MS licensing has always been clear as mud. Just try to within your true up windows and keep everything under SA. They wont bother you.

Just registered just to reply to this - this works BUT I had to activate the 2019 KMS key on the KMS server in the Volume Activation Tools wizard, just adding it to the Volume Activation Management Tool wasn't enough for me.
