KMS host key status
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.
Just checking if there's any progress or updates?

I'm basically wanting to know if the server with ADBA will keep activating, or will it cease to activate clients?Normal and expected behavior when you use KMS

- So in 180 days, the host will continue activating.
