Windows Server 2022 Product Key showing Volume_KMS_WS19 Channel

[wshao]

My firm recently updated SPLA with Microsoft Reseller and got the Windows Server 2022 KMS product keys. However, it doesn't work as expected. The symptom is quite buggy to me.

I installed the WinSRV 2022 product key (KMS) with a Windows Server 2022 running KMS volume activation service. It always returns as 'Volume_KMS_WS19 Channel' from the drop-down-list. Nothing can be activated by the KMS server. All activations ended up with error: 0xC004F074. Needless to mention, the Windows Server 2022 KMS server was fully updated and time is synced with clients. 

If I install the same KMS key with Windows Server 2016 or 2019, the product key returns as the expected 'Volume_KMS_WS22 Channel'. And activation works properly. 

Why the same key got different results on WinSRV 2022 comparing to 2016/2019? Is this a known issue?
