Already my windows key was used and at that time that was activated but after format, the system cant activates the same key??why??This thing happens so many times please try to help me here.
Windows 10 Enterprise uses a VLK (Volume License Key) instead of a standard key. It is designed for the companies where they have to use VAMT (Volume Activation Management Tool) to provide the activation of multiple machines with a single key within the organization. While doing the activation from a remote computer/server, the system must be connected to the organization's network. (VLMT screenshot attached)
@sam1011950 . The way i went about this was upgrading my windows 10 first, and I made sure it was activated before the upgrade, then I proceeded with a clean install of windows10. If you directly install clean windows and, you used your earlier key, it will not work. Although if this seems too technical for you, try reading more on Activation fails to get ideas and steps to resolve your activation problem here.
In the next few days, and even more today, we've been getting reports that Win10 Enterprise LTSB/LTSC across some signage devices and laboratory machines stopped activating. Sure enough, I could reproduce the issue from a known good network.
Anyone else seeing this or could possibly test and confirm? I feel like this **has** to be a bug with 2022 host keys, but it's so new that I can't find anyone else in the same boat. I have a Premier ticket open for this.
That's fine. You shouldn't have non-domain devices anyways in an enterprise network. If so, usually in DMZ, just use the MAK key. The old KMS server is going away eventually. So we will all have to use ADBA.
We pay for the licenses, to have these features for domain join and benefits of doing so in terms of management.
We join volume licensing or Online licensing agreements to get benefits over unmanaged standalone operation. Licensing and compliance is one of many. ADBA and VAMT 3.1 help a lot, at least with some crucial tasks.
p.s. KMS servers are already obsolete for some of our customers. KMS keys will remain for ADBA.
This discussion here is still important, as MAK keys need recurring online connection, which might be unwanted in some scenarios either, especially in DMZ, as you would need to allow traffic to MS Licensing servers, opening a potential hole.
@rkiesewetter We're just being told in our case to be patient and wait until February/March 2022 for the patch. We also verified this issue affects the Server 2022 KMS Host OS + Server 2022 KMS Host Key setup, though the Microsoft engineer in the case also had said this setup was affected and wouldn't work either.
We didn't have any Server 2022 servers enter production yet, so we followed the support engineer's guidance to revert back to the Server 2019 KMS Host key to get these LTSB/C builds of Windows 10 activating again. ADBA was the only other recommended workaround.
Forgot if I mentioned this elsewhere, but I was told the following by support -- 3rd week of February for Server 2019 KMS hosts, and second week of March for Server 2016 KMS hosts.
Also, you should only need to use a 2022 host key if you want to activate a Server 2022 KMS client. Windows 11 and Windows 10 both use the same clients keys and will activate fine as-is with a 2019 host key in use. (As will Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, since it uses the same client keys as LTSC 2019)
This update promised to fix issues with Server 2019 and ltsc build 1809. Are they going to make fixes for Server 2022 and LTSC 21H2??? My KMS servers have been transferred to 2022 Server and activation of client systems on LTSC (any versions) does not work !!! In "Known issues in this update" for server 2022, this problem is not mentioned. Can someone ask a question on the ticket - will fixes be released for Server 2022 and LTSC 21H2 ??
I need to install the Windows 10 LTSB 2016 (or Enterprise, or IOT). It fails to boot on the first reboot, from the freshly created partition. It seems to find the partition, but then it only shows Dell logo with rotating dots animation indefinitely.
- BIOS boot option seems to be completely broken. elements are added, removed or changing positions without my consent. The 1st option is Windows boot manager. Tried setting up the option by hand, but that does not change much... Once, after I randomly added to list combination of recovery boot and EFI windows boot, I was able to see the repair screen (probably booted to repair partition) and subsequently, after selecting startup repair and restart it booted! But then I decided to cleanup the messed up settings in BIOS and NEVER was able to see it booting again...
That was a whole chain of problems. Dell support simply refused to provide any assistance, neither by phone, nor by online chat or opening a ticket. Very frustrating, it probably deserves a dedicated topic. But anyway, since I had no choice, I continued on my own.
I was able to make it work by sequentially reconfiguring all related BIOS boot options and retrying installation and rebooting till it finally started to boot. I don't remember now what exactly solved that because when it started to boot reliably it revealed a next serious showstopper - Windows 2016 LTSB does not support that built-in Intel graphics adapter...
Another round of shaman dancing around these PCs didn't help. This time I found no easy way to make the screen resolution larger than 1024x768. And, while investigating that, I discovered that December 2021 was the EOL of the 2016 LTSB...
The issue may have to do with the LTSB enterprise license key you are using.
It is the license key used to activate that determines the components that are activated based on the edition associated with that key.
If you have a brand new 7090 machine, you may need a new enterprise license key to go with that.
The Long-Term Servicing Channel was previously called the Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB). All references to LTSB are changed in this article to LTSC for consistency, even though the name of previous versions might still be displayed as LTSB.
