Windows Server 2022 KMS Activation Issue (Backwards Compatibility)

Job ID: 33285219

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

We've been using Windows Server 2016 for our KMS server but since the new Server 2022 came out, those Servers won't be able to activate with the old 2016 KMS since Microsoft doesn't allow that.

We've set up a new KMS with Server 2022 and it works fine to activate for other 2022 servers but not the older versions 2016/2019. It should theoretically work and they should use the 2022 key from our new KMS according to the Microsoft Documentation, but they're not appearing in the KMS server list after running "cscript slmgr.vbs -ato".

If you have got the knowledge and looking for more work in the future with a well-established German Company, please leave your bid in our project.

This is ONLY for serious Windows Professionals, if you do not have a proven track record or know what to do and just google the issue, please do not waste our time, thank you!
