Wow, I've never been so overwhelmed with trying to understand how to activate a product.
I want to start using a single Windows 2008 Standard Server so I can begin learning it. However, it seems like I cannot activate the product via KMS (which I don't even have setup anywhere) because you need (5) Windows 2008 Server licenses in use to even begin using KMS. So, without using KMS, how should I activate this product? The product key I have is from one of my license agreements and is listed as "Windows 2008 Std/Ent - KMS". I've read numerous things from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/licensing.aspx but still don't quite understand exactly what I need to do. This seems a bit more bloated than it should be... Should I phone in the activation or use some other method?
