We bought 50 Windows 10 Enterprise licences from reseller A and 25 Windows 10 Enterprise licences from reseller B.
We want to install a KMS server and implement these 2 KMS keys to activate our workstations. Is this possible? because we are dealing with the same product in the same domain and with only one KMS server. The KMS server is Windows Server 2019.

    We had multiple licenses for our products and we used VAMT which is available here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/volume-activation/install-vamt

    For me it was just a case of inputting the server details after setup and we were then able to activate using multiple keys for multiple products.

    Hello,
    You only need to install one KMS host key. (you only can install one Windows KMS host key on a machine).
    That KMS host can activate all 75 client machines.
    You should not need to activate the 2 KMS host keys separately to get to 75 licenses.
    As log as you have the agreements, the one KMS host key would be allowed to activate all 75 clients.
    There is no limit to activations with a KMS host key, you just have to be compliant with the overall number of licenses.

    Hello FritsCompatibill

    Yes you can add different keys, and create pools of computers based on DNS to use different KMS licenses.

    You can use VAMT: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/volume-activation/volume-activation-management-tool
