- You can always install a new KMS server with your Microsoft KMS key, you don't have to keep the old server

i have a 2012 KMS server, is possible to do an inplace upgrade to 2019 and keep kms without changes?
thank you!
- 2012 or 2012 R2? You can upgrade from 2012 R2 to 2019 and then add the KMS Host for 2019, you could also install a new server and install KMS (Volume Activation Services) on that and update DNS so that the clients can find the new KMS server using the SRV record
- Thanks we have beed upgrade to 2019
