Windows 10: Our supplier used KLM server for Windows Server 2019. Is it legal?

We bought 8 pieces Microsoft Windows Server Standard Core 2019 SNGL OLP 2Lic NL CoreLic Remarketed.

Because first time the MS activation server determined the specified product key is blocked, we asked the supplier for help. After some trials, they forwarded their partner's mail how to fix it using KLM server.


Their mail:


The problem was that the activation via the GUI interface the normal user interface is unfortunately very error-prone and often led to problems which had to be solved by an activation via Command Line Interface. However, the activation via DOS Box and the corresponding commands requires a lot more expert knowledge, so it was very complex to explain this to customers & end users!


This is why we now deliver you for the Activation of Microsoft Office and Windows Server Licenses our Activation Toolbox!


Main component of this toolbox is our Activation Batch Files approx. 500kb which executes a manual KMS activation via Command Line Interface commands. This could theoretically also be entered manually in the command line, in order to make it easier for you and your customers, we have summarized this in a small batch fileàyou could download the Activation Toolbox for Windows Server 2019 Standard at: https://we.tl/t-8uj7b9fFak


This activation possibility offers the advantages, security & stability of a Microsoft KMS activation without the customer having to undertake the complicated process of setting up, administering and maintaining his own KMS host. Enclosed you will find a short description and information regarding the process described above. These documents are kept neutral so that you can pass them on to your customers!


Even if this may sound very complex & cumbersome at first, it is very easy in practice for you and your customers.

· Install the software

· execute our batch file after the installation

which you receive with the delivery / mail of the ISO files

· and 15-20 seconds later the license is activated.

See attached a short guideline regarding that!


Of course, all volume licenses whether new or purchased from us are multi-bit, multilingual and downgrade able.

We are happy to provide the corresponding ISO files for installation and our Activation Batch Files also for a corresponding downgrade at your customer!


Now our Windows Server is activated, but I want to be sure that it is legal and it will work for more than a decade.


Thank you for your help in advance.

Best regards,
