Hi! I’m Graeme Bray and you may remember me from previous articles such as KMS Activation for Windows Server 2016. Today’s installment will coincide with a new Windows Server release. I’m going to focus on getting you to enable AD Based Activation for those of you who have not yet done so.
Retrieve KMS License Key from the VLSC for Windows Server 2019 To resolve this problem, follow these steps: Log on to the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). They provide a number of days for you to complete the activation process. The keys supplied are not architecture dependent. It is absolutely essential that you use the correct type of key, which is a function of the edition type. Choose the key corresponding to which edition of Windows you wish to install.

This video shows you how to rename & to activate a Windows Server 2019 installation in the GUI version. Open System, Rename the server, watch it, underscores.
The location for the KMS Host Key is the same as Windows Server 2016. You need to find the key on the Microsoft Volume License Service Center.
KMS Activation for Windows Server 2019 can be run from the following Operating Systems with the appropriate prerequisites:
July 2016 Servicing Stack Update: KB3173424
September 11, 2018 Cumulative Update: KB4457129
May 2018 Servicing Stack Update: KB4132216
August 30, 2018 Cumulative Update: KB4343884
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
Log into a Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2016 Machine
I know, you need *what* to enable AD Based Activation? Stay tuned for a future article (from yours truly) on how to delegate THAT access.
This is the *only* time that you need to use the CSVLK (KMS Key) to activate a system, at least in this forest.
Now, if you’re like me, you always do a search for “Appendix A KMS” on your favorite search engine (Bing, of course!). That takes you to the below link which gives you the appropriate Generic Volume License Key (GVLK) that is hardcoded to each OS to activate. If you download the ISO from the Volume License Service Center, this key is already in the OS and ready to activate.
A couple of caveats as far as AD Based Activation:

Now, get going! Activate Windows Server 2019 in your environment. Use it in a lab, see what use case scenarios you can find to implement some new features. You should expect to see more from us on Windows Server 2019 features in the future.
Thanks!

Automatic Virtual Machine Activation (AVMA) acts as a proof-of-purchase mechanism, helping to ensure that Windows products are used in accordance with the Product Use Rights and Microsoft Software License Terms.
AVMA lets you install virtual machines on a properly activated Windows server without having to manage product keys for each individual virtual machine, even in disconnected environments. AVMA binds the virtual machine activation to the licensed virtualization server and activates the virtual machine when it starts up. AVMA also provides real-time reporting on usage and historical data on the license state of the virtual machine. Reporting and tracking data is available on the virtualization server.
On virtualization servers that are activated using Volume Licensing or OEM licensing, AVMA offers several benefits.
Server datacenter managers can use AVMA to do the following:
Activate virtual machines in remote locations
Activate virtual machines with or without an internet connection
Track virtual machine usage and licenses from the virtualization server, without requiring any access rights on the virtualized systems
There are no product keys to manage and no stickers on the servers to read. The virtual machine is activated and continues to work even when it is migrated across an array of virtualization servers.
Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA) partners and other hosting providers do not have to share product keys with tenants or access a tenant's virtual machine to activate it. Virtual machine activation is transparent to the tenant when AVMA is used. Hosting providers can use the server logs to verify license compliance and to track client usage history.
AVMA requires a Microsoft Virtualization Server running Windows Server 2019 Datacenter, Windows Server 2016 Datacenter, or Windows Server 2012 R2.
Here are the guests that the different version hosts can activate:
Server host version | Windows Server 2019 | Windows Server 2016 | Windows Server 2012 R2 |
---|---|---|---|
Windows Server 2019 | X | X | X |
Windows Server 2016 | X | X | |
Windows Server 2012 R2 | X |
Note that these activate all editions (Datacenter, Standard, or Essentials).
This tool does not work with other Virtualization Server technologies.
On a Windows Server Datacenter virtualization server, install and configure the Microsoft Hyper-V Server role. For more information, see Install Hyper-V Server.
Create a virtual machine and install a supported server operating system on it.
Install the AVMA key in the virtual machine. From an elevated command prompt, run the following command:
The virtual machine will automatically activate the license against the virtualization server.
Tip
You can also employ the AVMA keys in any Unattend.exe setup file.
The following AVMA keys can be used for Windows Server 2019.

The registry (KVP) on the virtualization server provides real-time tracking data for the guest operating systems. Because the registry key moves with the virtual machine, you can get license information as well. By default the KVP returns information about the virtual machine, including the following:
Fully qualified domain name
Operating system and service packs installed
Processor architecture
IPv4 and IPv6 network addresses
RDP addresses
For more information about how to get this information, see Hyper-V Script: Looking at KVP GuestIntrinsicExchangeItems.
Note
KVP data is not secured. It can be modified and is not monitored for changes.
Important
KVP data should be removed if the AVMA key is replaced with another product key (retail, OEM, or volume licensing key).
Historical data about AVMA requests is available in a log file on the virtualization server (EventID 12310).
Since the AVMA activation process is transparent, error messages are not displayed. However, the following events are captured in a log file on the virtual machines (EventID 12309).
Notification | Description |
---|---|
AVMA Success | The virtual machine was activated. |
Invalid Host | The virtualization server is unresponsive. This can happen when the server is not running a supported version of Windows. |
Invalid Data | This usually results from a failure in communication between the virtualization server and the virtual machine, often caused by corruption, encryption, or data mismatch. |
Activation Denied | The virtualization server could not activate the guest operating system because the AVMA ID did not match. |
