The guest OS of the virtual machine exchanges data about AVMA activation with the Hyper-V host over the VMbus using KVP objects which are located in registry: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Virtual Machine\Guest. A guest OS must have the Microsoft Hyper-V Activation Component, which can be viewed via the devmgmt.msc tool.Integration Services must be installed on the VM which is to be activated via AVMA and the Data Exchange guest service must be enabled in the VM properties.Desktop Windows versions cannot be activated via AVMA. Windows Server 2019/2016/2012 R2 Datacenter, Standard or Essentials editions can be used as guest OS on the virtual machines.Windows Server 2012, 2008 R do not support AVMA activation. One or more activated Hyper-V hosts running Windows Server 2019, 2016 or 2012 R2 Datacenter edition.The AVMA activation process has the following requirements: Slmgr /upk (to uninstall any previous key)ĭISM /online /Get-CurrentEdition (validate the currently licensed edition) Windows VM AVMA activation

AVMA also provides real-time reporting on usage and historical data on the license state of the virtual machine. AVMA binds the virtual machine activation to the licensed virtualization server and activates the virtual machine when it starts up. AVMA lets you install virtual machines on a properly activated Windows server without having to manage product keys for each individual virtual machine, even in disconnected environments. When the KMS host key corresponds to the licensing of HyperV host servers with Datacenter edition, then an unlimited number of virtual machines running under these HyperV hosts can be automatically activated by using the AVMA method. After installing the KMS host role a KMS host key must be installed. This can be either a physical or a virtual server. When it comes to licensing Windows Server via Volume Licensing (SPLA) a KMS host server role must be configured.
