I had the same problem and here is what we did to resolve it:
Open ADSI Edit (Be Careful Here)
Connect to Configuration Container
cn = configuration
cn = services
cn = Microsoft Exchange
cn = ORGNAME
cn = Administrative Groups
cn = SITENAME
cn = Advanced
Security
With in the Advanced Security container is the Encryption Object. Open the
properties of this object and look at the KMServer attribute. You will
probably see a reference to your old Exchange 5.5 KMS server. Clear this
attribute in each Administrative Group.

I've got two servers in an organisation/site, the first is 5.5 SP4 and the
second is Exchange 2K SP3. The 5.5 server once had KMS installed. If I try
reinstalling it I get an install failure so I've suspicions of something
lurking. The KB articles for cleaning up failed installs have been applied
so theoretically the server should be clean.
I'm now trying to install KMS on the 2K system (which is intended to replace
the 5.5 one) and its saying there is already a KMS in the site. This may be
a replication problem or there may be something still referencing the dead
KMS. Has anyone seen this before or does anyone know what the install
program may be detecting?
