Not sure if this is the right place, but I try here.



My company has a volume license agreement and I'm (as the only one) testing
Vista.

Today I got the following error:

[Window Title]
Volume activation service failure

[Main Instruction]
The Key Management Service does not have enough computers registered at this
time.

[Content]
If you continue to see this error message contact your system administrator
or technical support department for assistance.

[Close]

Any ideas what's wrong?

It means what it says - KMS has a minimum number of Vista copies that must
be active and you are below that minimum. Contact your VL supplier or MS
dealer for options.

I just had the same issue under W2K8.

Open the "control panel\system" and re-introduce your product key using the link "Change product key". If necessary use the phone activation, it works fine.
