How to Check the IP Address of the KMS Clients licensed by the KMS Server ?

Question

Hello,

We run a public cloud hosting environment and process Windows Server licenses activations on our customer's account servers from our KMS host by statically adding the KMS host information on each Windows Server client installation. The Event Viewer displays general activation requests processed but it does not shows the IP address of the source client. We need to make sure that only licensed customers are requesting license activation to the KMS host.

1. How do we check the IP address of the KMS clients that are being processed and licensed by the KMS Server ?
2. Additionally, is there a way to efficiently manage KMS inventory for these domain-disconnected clients (public cloud hosting environment)?

Thank you.

Hi

We could use **slmgr.vbs/***** options for obtaining volume activation information.

1. In order to check the IP address of the KMS clients that are being processed and licensed by the KMS server , we could use:
   slmgr.vbs/dlv [<Activation ID> | All],
   which could display detailed license information.
2. To manage KMS inventory for these domain-disconnected clients, please refer to this link about configuring KMS clients.
