[Guest]

I've received my new licensing information for Vista and on the Vista key it
describes it as KMS, can anyone tell me what it means?

Hi John,

It means you need an activation server and at least 25 installations on the
local network. From where did you receive this?

Shouldn't your response be the same to the hundreds of duplicate questions
posted on the forum? I did a search of "Update" and found over a thousand
questions and answers. I wish more people would do a search before posting.
