    Correct, you dont have to validate ever, its not a 'must have' requirement... just check your updates and not install the validation ones... and you should not have a problem...

    I don't mean about only kms but pkey checking in general. It may be used for other methods. It's too much of a coincidence that the number is the same. Maybe it is just a windows edition/version indicator, and is that what the number parameter gets. Maybe it needs to have that value to check if the key is valid for that edition.

    I'm only talking about the first group that's the same in the number parameter, not the middle part that's all 0 for the default key.

    I may have to try this out when I get home. Not sure exactly how it works but I'll figure it out. :)

    Guys I really do not know much about this but just asking:

    1)KMS Host server (the activator)
    2)Client machines
    3)How many keys may/may not exist for the KMS Host server ? x
    4)How many client keys are there? Probably only one ?

    MS would have created mathematical algorithm taking into accout PID (the OS disc itself ?), and both keys (KMS Host and Client).
    So can they derive what KMS host key is being used to activate, hence they will black list that key only ? This will cause chaos to existing customers ? How many more can they continue blacklisting ? Is the range that big?
    How would administer this is hundred of thousand customer have got a drama ?

    Away from activation, I remember that with WIN 7, in particular machines with proper SLIC 2.1 tables, could use any other OEM key to upgrade ........and I have done this a million times.

    Am I so far from the target?:D

    The Windows Server 2012 key is working so far. It's not a problem for existing customers becuase they just have to change the key on the their host and all clients activated against it will be genuine again.

    There is 1 official client key for each sku. But if you look at daz list at the range of GVLK keys for your sku, you can use any key in that range (with any random data part) and you can kms activate just fine. But if you ever do a genuine check and MS sees that you are kms activated with a key other than the official one, that looks a bit suspicious, doesn't it?

    EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realize you are the one who sent me pm :p
