2008 SP2 KMS and Virtual Machines

I have a been having a problem with Server 2008 Standard SP2 and KMS
Host. I followed the directions for setting up a KMS host and it seems
to work. It has a count of 1 right now. It is a virtual machine. I
installed another 2008 server SP2 virtual machine, added the KMS
client key, and when I try to activate it, I get the error message
"The returned count from your Key Management Service is insufficient."
The KMS host shows that there was a request received but it wont up
the count. SP2 was supposed to fix the virtual systems and allow them
to be included in the 5 threshold, at least thats what MS says....

Anyone???

Thanks,

Nevermind. Got it working now. Installed 4 more 2008 VM's and it got
to 5 and then activated them all.

 

Hello Frank69for2,

That's the case for server you need aminimum of 5 and Vista/Windows 7 is
25 the minimum.
