Question regarding ROK activation
Hey, I got two ROK Windows licenses (Windows Datacenter) and I would like to ask how to use them in the KMS (or in the VAMT). It would be nice if you can provide me some information / link how ...
If I am not mistaken ROK / OEM keys are not part of volume licensing so there are no CSVLK (KMS) keys by design.
I fear this is a route we are going because of increased benefits of ROK / OEM vs VL (in Europe / Germany), plus when you order licenses via New Commerce Experience (NCE) as part of Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA aka CSP), then you also do not get any KMS key anymore.
For proper mass activation / management you should consider to use AVMA when using Hyper-V or Azure StackHCI or VAMT from the latest ADK
Mind this one has a small bug, which is not yet fixed afaik, so you need the workaround as described in the post.
