The Microsoft Key Management Server (KMS) is part of the Microsoft Volume Activation 2.0 solution managing Windows OS activation keys and performs activation for supported clients automatically. Starting with Windows Server 2008 & Windows Vista, Microsoft switched to an online activation system where every Windows OS requires activation. KMS shifts the activation requirement to a single machine which is activated with a special KMS Host (server) key. Every KMS supported Windows version automatically communicates with the KMS server to activate Windows and manage the activation key (configuring the Windows OS with a KMS key forces it to find a KMS Host and get activation from it).KMS supported clients include Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, & Windows 7.
A single KMS Server can handle the load of a large enterprise and it is not likely necessary to install a second (or more) KMS Server. Many organizations choose to install 2 KMS Hosts to ensure license activations continue with the loss of a single server. However, going through the KMS Host activation process on an isolated network (not directly connected to the internet) is a time-consuming process. For this reason, it is recommended to use a server for KMS that can be easily restored from backup without affecting other services (this way the KMS Host key is restored on the same hardware).
A KMS key is used to activate only the KMS host with a Microsoft activation server. A KMS key can activate up to six KMS hosts with 10 activations per host. Each host can activate an unlimited number of computers. If you need to activate more than six KMS hosts, contact your Volume Licensing Service Center ( =184280), and state why you must increase the activation limit.
With this configuration we will need a minimum of 6 (32) activation keys. Additionally, each of our 5 host profiles can be deployed into any one of the lifecycle environments, so we will need 15 (53) hostgroups.
The solution is to not specify the activation key in the hostgroup at all, but instead determine it dynamically at deployment time based on the Content View and Lifecycle Environment specified in the host. We can do this as we have access to this information via Foreman parameters during the kickstart process.
So i installed Assassins Creed Valhalla after a long time, and it wants me activate an Activation Code but i dont got, any and never did (Its bought from Epic Games) and before i had the problem with the activation Code, it just loaded and loaded when i tried to launch it (The picture of Eivor and ship in the background and stuff like that) I have played Valhalla before to 54% and i want to continue but cant. please Help.
@ubi-spacecats It is ridiculous you sell games to epic games and you didn't give the activation codes so the sale on epic games is just a scam. Even installing games from your rival game publisher easier and the activation codes already included when we purchase the games, learn the lesson from other companies!
Hello there @Adisuperbgamer! Welcome to the forums I'm sorry to hear that you've had trouble with your purchase from Epic Games. Just to clarify, are you being asked for an activation code when trying to launch Assassin's Creed Valhalla? Or are you just sharing feedback regarding this issue.If you have been asked for an activation code, then I'd suggest trying the steps shared by my colleague @Ubi-SpaceCats earlier in this thread.Thanks!
My friend purchased r6s through Ubisoft connect and upon receiving the activation key he accidentally closed the tab. He's currently searching for the activation key but can't find it. Would you mind giving me a heads up on where we can find the activation key?
@amsukpp Hello! I'm sorry that your friend purchased Siege and isn't able to locate the activation key. I would suggest that your friend reach out to us directly either by creating a support ticket here or by posting on the Rainbow Six Siege Player Support forums here. Since this is an issue with the content on your friend's account, we'll want them to contact us so that we can assist with the issue. Thank you!
If you can't scan QR codes with your device, you can set up Okta Verify by using an activation link sent to your email or to the short message service (SMS) app on your device. You can also activate Okta Verify by using a secret key.
Depending on how your organization configured your account, you can either enroll in Okta Verify by using an activation link sent to your email or messaging app on your device or manually, by using a secret key.
A license key with eight characters signifies a Leased License. These types of licenses also require an activation token, which is a very long, unique, string of characters that must also be provided before a Gateway is licensed. Leased licenses are ideal for containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes), as well as cloud-based deployments.
Effective Licenses provides a summary of modules active on the gateway. Modules are active if they're provided by an applied license. This area is the result of potentially multiple licenses across various activation mechanisms. For example, if license A provides module A, and license B provides module B, then Effective Licenses would show that both modules A and B are active on the gateway. The caveat here is that the modules will only appear if they're installed on the Gateway. In this same scenario with licenses A and B, if module B was not installed, then it will not appear under Effective Licenses.
For a given license key, a limited amount of simultaneous activations are allowed at a given time. If you want to activate Ignition on a different server, you must first unactivate it on the current server. You can unactivate the license on one Gateway, and then activate it on a different Gateway if needed. Unactivation occurs immediately over the Internet, and makes this license available for activation on another machine.
Activating your license in emergency mode is exactly the same as activating with your normal license, you don't have to do anything different because Ignition handles it all for you. See License Activation above for details on how to activate. The Gateway will know to run in emergency activation mode and it will display a timer stating how many days, hours, and minutes you have remaining in the Emergency Activation Mode banner. Any time before it expires, you can contact Inductive Automation Support to get your license fixed.
While there is increasing agreement that patient activation and engagement are important for improving quality of care, programs to support patients in these areas are not yet well developed or widely implemented8,9. Nor are such programs being emphasized in current primary care quality improvement efforts10. The lack of experience in supporting patient activation and engagement has been cited as a potential pitfall as health care organizations seek to improve quality and decrease health care costs as ACOs11. 2ff7e9595c
