This threshold is 5 activation requests from the server OSs and 25 activation requests from the desktop Windows OSs (the activation thresholds for desktop/server OSs are independent, i. This occurs until a certain minimum threshold of activation requests received within the last 30 days has been overcome in the KMS database. These activation requests are accumulated in the internal KMS cache on the server. In this case, the OS of the computer from which the request was received is not activated immediately. When accessed, the KMS server assigns a unique identifier CMID (client machine identification) to each client and puts it into local database (cache). The matter is that the KMS server has a so-called activation count (kms counter) which value is incremented after each activation request is received from a network client. Please contact your system administrator. The count reported by your Key Management Service (KMS) is insufficient.
