Ace,

I have a question. I get the same error with my 2008 SP2 box. I have
my KMS host at SP2 and activated it. I have another 2008 SP2 server
that says the count is insufficient. These are virtual machines. I
check the kms box and its count is 1. SP2 is supposed to allow virtual
machines in the count but its not working. I followed the Volume
Activation 2.0 guide and still no luck. Any ideas??

Thanks,

Frank

Frank,

This area is not my forte. I would suggest and would be to your
advantage, starting a whole new thread, give it an appropriate subject
line, etc, so it will show up as a new thread and others will see it,
otherwise many folks may not see your reply to an older thread. Kind of
what I said to the other guy in this thread.

I would like and hope that you find a resolution.

Ace
