I got around 50 Windows 7 Clients running on VMWare View. &nbsp;I setup the Windows 7 Golden Image with a KMS License. &nbsp;Now the 50 Windows 7 Clients needs to be activated through the KMS Host. &nbsp;The Clients see the KMS Host, but the problem is according to Microsoft, that I need to have 25 PHYSICAL Windows 7 Clients to run with KMS.<br />
<br />
That's a real issue as my virtual clients need to get activated. &nbsp;What should I do? &nbsp;Any advise?
