Windows 7 license activation
We start using Windows 7 Professional in our view environment 4.6. Effort will be Win 7 VMs as linked clones. We use a Microsoft Volume License (MS Select without SA for now, but will move to select more). My question is how are my licenses counted on the Microsoft side whenever I have reconstruct my linked clone pool. For example, lets say I have 20 licenses of Windows 7 and I'm building a pool of cloning related to 20 mV. If I recompose the MS pool sees me trying to use another 20 licenses or original activation will stick. What is the best practice here to manage the licenses of Windows 7 and related clones. Thanks in advance.
Yes, you are right.
See this screenshot of Microsoft.
Number of activations Cache
To follow the activation threshold, the KMS host keeps a record of KMS client computers that require activation. The KMS host gives each KMS client computer ID (CMID) client machine designation and the KMS host records each CMID in a table. Each activation request remains in the table for 30 days. When a client renews its activation, the cached CMID is removed from the table, a new record is created, and the 30-day period begins again. If a KMS client computer does not renew its activation within 30 days, the KMS host removes the CMID of the table and reduces the number of activations.
The KMS host is cached twice the number of CMIDs that require KMS clients in order to ensure that the CMID County does not drop below the activation threshold. For example, on a network with client computers running Windows 7, the KMS activation threshold is 25, then KMS host puts caches the CMIDs of the last 50 activations. The KMS for Windows Server 2008 R2 activation threshold is 5. A KMS host that is contacted only by client computers KMS running Windows Server 2008 R2 would be to cache the most recent CMIDs 10. If a client computer running Windows 7 later comes into contact with this KMS host, KMS increases the size of the cache to 50 to accommodate the higher threshold. KMS never reduced the size of the cache.
KMS does not limit the number of machines that are activated, the FAQ Post indicates that you can use the same key to cover several agreements and activate these machines with the only key. You don't have to add licenses, since it does not limit in KMS.
Hope that clarifies.

I try to activate a version of Windows XP on a virtual machine created recently of an old machine that we have here before the asset being disarmed. Unfortunately, when you try to run the virtual machine, we are facing a window to activate product, for which the product key auto-remplit. The product key, however, is labeled not allowed.
I tried tirelessly to communicate with support staff of Microsoft who after the mention of "XP", do not hesitate to cut me and reject any statement that I do, however, it is a product we paid for, so as a result we have the right to install this license where we please provide that we stick to licensing agreements. The license will not be used at the same time.
If you like, would be a way to have this license authorized or authenticated, be put in place, so we can use this virtual machine.

Windows Server License Activation Req
Hi people,
I'm new to this bear so please with me.
I converted a file of acronis backup (it was a picture of one of my dell OEM windows 2003 servers) to a file of vmware 2.0 server.
When I run the virtual disk I was invited with the image to activate windows - any ideas why?
Thanks for the help
You can set the drive of CD-ROM of the virtual machine to connect to a physical drive or an ISO. When you start, when you see the VMWare start screen, press ESC (just once!) and you will get the start menu. If you press F2, you can go into the BIOS of the virtual machine and change the boot order.
If the virtual machine start too quickly, add the following lines to your VMX file. (I think they're working to Server2. "Correct me if I'm wrong.)
bios.bootDelay = "5000".
bios.forceSetupOnce = 'TRUE '.
The first line is paused the boot for 5 seconds, which should be long enough so that you press ESC or F2. The second line is optional. It forces the virtual machine to go into the BIOS at the next startup. In this way, you can change the boot order.

My Windows 7 Home Premium desktop motherboard no longer works and I replaced it with a new one.
After that, I see a prompt to activate windows again. I tried to enter the windows product key, but it returns an error 0xC004008 (the activation server determined that the specified product key cannot be used).
Then I tried calling Microsoft India automated Dialer numbers (http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/existing-customers/activation-centers.aspx), he automated system after taking the 54 figure fails installation ID and responds "Sorry there is a technical problem with the system, please try again later.
I also tried to contact the management of MS tech support, they work only Monday-Friday (9-6), this is ridiculous, given that everyone has a call 24 / 7 Center these days. This installation is on my home PC and I can't be available on weekdays, in their working time limited to talk to a tech support Executive.
Microsoft India, please check your systems, Automated Dialer activation for your Volume License Activation Center system is down and you have a customer support 24 / 7! It is disappointing the customer point of view.
Please help me to reactivate my windows before the expiration of 30 days. Kind regards

error Ox8oo7251D windows is not activated
I took my laptop to hp2000 known local pc repair shop when he diverted or locked. They have fixed it in a day and charged me $ 200. It was April of 2015. Now it tells me to activate windows. It says Ox8oo7251D error and says windows is not activated. I have this tile for Kms activation, this is what I have. Please, any help appreciated. Shop is no longer open.
Hello
It's a Volume license activation error.
KMS is Key Management Service (KMS)
Looks like you've been scammed.
But KMS server active client computers for a period of 180 days and you say you've had work done last April, which means that the error must have been appearing earlier.
See you soon.

License / Activation of a virtual copy of an old physical XP machine
I converted an old XP Home Premium machine to a virtual machine to a user who is move to a new computer, so they can have all their old files and application in the form they are used to in case they need him.
When the virtual copy has been started, he said windows had to be activated, and I don't know what is the right thing to do now.
I made these P2V conversions with windows mass licensed copies, but this time, because it is a PC at home with a single license, I want to make sure that I understand what I do before taking action.
I expect the virtual machine works if I enter the key of the old home XP machine? And is it going to restore the old or the new machine useless if the old machine is used again? The user does not need the old PC once all their old data is on the new computer, but before the process is complete, I need to make sure they do not have access to everything they had on their old PC.
Hi BidyonMivde,
Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.
Since you are facing problems to activate the virtual copy, the question you posted would be better suited for the IT Pro TechNet public. I would recommend posting your query in the TechNet Forums to get help:

However, already during this week of the first of January, I received several times a popup: ACTIVATION of PRODUCT WINDOWS, announcing that the trial period has expired and that in 1 hour Windows will disconnect and I should install a copy authentic. So I by installation of R, but after installing COPY WITH GENUINE LICENSE has a new a pop up appears saying: "this copy of Windows must be activated before can connect you. You want to activate Windows now? I clicked YES, and nothing happens. Without log on the system installs several times more than 120 updates but still no access to the Windows Activation to complete activation and Windows Update again.
This was where a frustrating experience because on another new computer I had installed very easily Windows XP x 64 edition without any problem using another copy authentic.

Looking at your taskbar also, I noticed that you are trying to hack to bypass the product activation instruments.
You buy a genuine Windows 7 license. Free update to Windows 10 is not available for non-genuine pirated licenses.
