    My KMS was based on windows 2012 Srv Standard Version (non R2), I want to know how to activate Windows 10 pro clients, what patches should be installed in?

    谢谢！

    Thank you

    注意：KMS主机不是R2版本！官网上关于R2版本的相关指南不适用。

    Note: KMS host is not R2 version! Official guidelines on website about the R2 version dose not apply.

    technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn502537.aspx 页面表格中显示2012版本KMS是可以打升级补丁后激活win10的，但表格底部的页面support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3172614/july-2016-update-rollup-for-windows-8.1-and-windows-server-2012-r2中的补丁不适用于非R2版本。

    The table displayed on "technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn502537.aspx" show that the KMS based on win2012 can activated  win10 after install some patches, but at the bottom of the the table of "support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3172614/ july-2016-update-rollup-for-windows-8.1-and-windows-server-2012-r2" ,the patch is not suitable for the non R2 version.

    Hello,

    See this blog, since you are running Windows Server 2012 you need a different update package.

    https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askcore/2016/10/19/windows-server-2016-volume-activation-tips/

    it should be July 2016 update rollup for Windows Server 2012

    Hi sh._,

    Have you restarted the machine after installing the update?

    "When I imput "slmgr.vbs -ipk XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX(my win 10 pro's KMS key)" in CMD of win2012 server(my KMS server) I received the same info "Error:0xC004F050 The software license service reports that the product key is invalid""
    It seems that you have used the wrong key.
    Go to VLS site, under licenses for your agreement and grab this key:  Windows Srv 2012 DataCtr/Std KMS for Windows 10.

    Hello,

    You cannot install a Windows Client KMS key on a Windows server machine.  You need to install the appropriate server key according to the blog.  Only Windows Server keys can be installed on Server installations

    I need to activate win 10 pro clients so I tried the KMS key for win 10 pro. If I need to use a win 2012 server's KMS key,then I don't know which is the RIGHT key because I have installed the win2012 server's KMS key before but it can't work for win 10 pro clients!

    Hello

    Windows Servers only accept Windows Server keys.

    Windows Client KMS key can only be installed on Windows Client to make them a KMS host.

    Since the keys work downlevel, the Windows Server keys will active Windows Client machines.
    So you need to go to the VLSC site to find the appropriate keys.

    Windows Server 2016 KMS keys would work.

    also see this blog which points to this key if you do not have Windows Server 2016 keys on the VLSC site

    Windows Server 2012 R2 for Windows 10 CSVLK

    I have installed the KMS key for 2012 server without error message finally !

    But when I try to active win 10 enterprise client I receive a new error message "0xC004F042". I checked the communication between the client and the KMS server is ok. (use "ping <KMS's ip>" and "telnet <KMS's ip>:port" form the client machine) And from the sys log of 2012 Srv, I can found there were some Kms Requests log from the client had the same error messages.( It should be "0x0" if the activation is ok.)

    Should  I change another key of the client and try again?

    Hello,

    Are you using this key which is what is referenced in the blog. 

    Windows Server 2012 R2 for Windows 10 CSVLK

    It has to be Windows Server 2012 Key for Windows 10 or the Windows Server 2016 key.

    Hi sh.,

    Have you checked my reply?

    We should get the Windows Srv 2012 DataCtr/Std KMS for Windows 10 product key from the Volume license center and Darrell Gorter pointed out again.

    Best regards
