Vista Activation and Virtual Server VMs...?

Posted: 01-29-2007, 07:47 PM
Hello,

Can someone explain how volume licsencing and activation will work
using MAK with Vista and VMs? We run a Virtual Lab for R&D and we have
an MSDN Volume Licese for Vista (All flavors). We will not have enough
Vista VMs running to use KMS (as VMs don't count towards actual systems
running Vista and you need minimum 25 running Vista). Does anyone know
if VMs running Vista that activate using the MAK system will also not
count towards ones N-count of activations? In our environment we could
be bringing up a few Vistat VMs one week and the next possibly bring up
10 or more. Then we may sela these VMs up after our product release
and for future projects bring up new VMs.


For all of our other supported OSs (2000, XP, 2003) We are able to use
one Volume License and activate unlimited # of times... but it seems
Vista will work differently.


Thanks,


Joel
