KMS Issue

[Iain.Faulkner]

Afternoon all,

 

Starting to have a play with Office 2010 ready for deployment later this year.

 

Having problems though with the KMS. Running KMS on Server 2008r2 on a box which was already the KMS for our Windows 7 licensing which was running perfectly fine for this purpose.

 

I've installed the KMS host as downloaded from microsoft for Office 2010, however when I run cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv all in a cmd prompt it's telling me that

 

"This license is not in use"

"License Status: Unlicensed" and as a result my Office 2010 installations are not activating.

 

I've followed the steps as outlined by Microsoft, installing the host, giving it the KMS key, activating it online (I've also done the activation on the phone as well just in case), so I'm not sure where I'm going wrong :-(

 

Anyone seen this before?

That command will jus tgive you the KMS status for the OS not the Office 2010 KMS, you'll need to use the right command:

cscript slmgr.vbs /dlv bfe7a195-4f8f-4f0b-a622-cf13c7d16864

I posted this yesterday about my own experiences with KMS which has links etc that could be handy:

thanks synack, I did read throguh your post and hadn't made any progress.

 

Using the command you posted it does look more promising though. It does now tell me that I'm licensed and it's recognised that I've got a few machines waiting to be activated.
