与Windows Vista一样,Windows Server 2008也拥有多种激活体系,包括Volume Activation 2.0和KMS.
批量激活大家几乎都已经了解,这里着重介绍KMS,KMS Key由KMS
服务器分发,该
服务器可以同时为Windows Server 2008,Windows Server Core 2008,Windows Vista颁发许可,管理员可以选择自动发现或定义KMS
服务器(1688端口)来完成授权工作.
Windows Server 2008 KMS服务器端支持无限数量的客户端,但客户端必须在每180日内完成一次激活.
Windows Server 2003的KMS (Key Management) 需要一次更新以支持Windows Server 2008
系统及其虚拟化产品,该更新将跟随2008版本一起发布.
KMS服务器和主机以及KMS客户端都支持虚拟机内运行.
