KMS License Activation for the Virtual Server (Windows Only)

After starting a Windows server, you must configure KMS activation settings and perform activation as necessary. For details on KMS activation, contact the service desk.

You can also specify the automatic configuration of KMS activation settings when you execute the image registration API. When you specified automatic configuration, check if the settings are configured or the licenses are activated by performing the steps below.

Procedure for checking the KMS activation status

  1. Start a command prompt with Administrator privileges.

  2. Run the command "cscript %WINDIR%\system32\slmgr.vbs /dlv."
