KMS host key status
I have setup a 2019 Server for Active Directory Based Activation (KMS), and added the host key (CSVLK) from the VLSC. When I run slmgr /xpr, it says "Volume activation will expire" in 180 days. Shoul...
Normal and expected behavior when you use KMS
KMS activations are valid for 180 days (the activation validity interval). To remain activated, KMS client computers must renew their activation by connecting to the KMS host at least once every 180 days. By default, KMS client computers attempt to renew their activation every 7 days. If KMS activation fails, the client computer retries every two hours. After a client computer’s activation is renewed, the activation validity interval begins again.
No, that's normal expected behavior.

Right, for those activating.
How do I tell if the server's host key is activated so it can continue activating clients?

- I have it installed, but I guess I'm trying to make sure the KMS host key is happy.
Just checking if there's any progress or updates?
