我原本在Windows 2003上的 KMS Services 1.0無法用來啟動Windows Server 2008？
問題徵狀：原本Windows 2003上面的KMS Service 1.0使用正常，目前想要在網路環境中加入Server 2008，但是卻無法輸入新的PID?
解決方法：這個問題是由於KMS Service在2003上面還需要進一步更新才能夠正常運作。
1.我們建議的方案：
甲、更新Key Management Service 1.1：

乙、使用Windows 2008來當作 KMS Service Host。
2.在2003上面，如果要從1.0版升級到1.1升級的部分，請您參考以下說明
Update existing KMS 1.0 Windows Server 2003 host to support Windows Server 2008/Windows Vista SP1
Install the KMS 1.1 update using the following procedure.
To install a KMS update |
|---|
1. Ensure that KMS 1.0 is installed on a computer running Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later. 1. Run the Key Management Service 1.1 for Windows 2003 update (WindowsServer2003-KB948003-<PLATFORM>-<LANGUAGE>.exe) that you downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center and follow the instructions. PLATFORM = x86 or x64 LANGUAGE = Must be the same as the Windows Server 2003 SP1 or later computer Steps include: 2. Accept the License Agreement. 3. Update the system. 4. Complete the installation. 5. Reboot the computer for all changes to take effect. 6. Install and activate the appropriate KMS key to support Windows Vista and/or Windows Server 2008 VL editions. Reactivating with the same KMS key (on the same KMS host computer) will use one of ten allowed reactivations and will not count as a new KMS host activation (six allowed by default). Also, reactivation with the same KMS key will preserve the existing count. |
另外，以下提供啟動條件的相關資訊：
• Activation Count : 5 (for server activation)
• Activation Count : 25(for client activation)
Example |
Windows Server 2008 KMS Clients |
Windows Vista KMS Clients |

KMS Count |
KMS Client Activation Status |

C |

26 |
Server & Vista |
意思就是說，Server+Client總數超過5這樣Server就會被啟用。如果總數超過25，那麼Server和Client都會被啟用。
另外，關於Key Group的問題，參考以下資訊：
Volume Product Key Group |
Windows Editions |
Vista VL |
Windows Vista Business Windows Vista Enterprise |
Server Group A |
Windows Web Server 2008 |
Server Group B |
Windows Server 2008 Standard Windows Server 2008 Standard without Hyper-V Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Windows Server 2008 Enterprise without Hyper-V |
Server Group C |
Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Windows Server 2008 Datacenter without Hyper-V Windows Server 2008 for Itanium-Based Systems |
這個Group的意義如下：
如果今天您使用的是 Server Group B的Key，那麼這個表在Server Group B以上的所有產品都可以被啟動。
如果您今天用的是Server Group C的 Key，那麼這個表列裡面所有的產品都可以被啟動。
