An update is available for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 KMS hosts to support Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012
This update extends the Key Management Service (KMS) for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 to allow enterprise licensing of Windows 8 and of Windows Server 2012.
KMS provides support for the following KMS client activations:
Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2)
Windows 8

Key Management Service (KMS) uses a KMS host key to activate KMS on a KMS host, and to establish a local activation service in your environment. This update extends support for KMS to provide activation for Windows 8 and for Windows Server 2012.

Now that I have KMS working can you point me to the Server 2012 and Windows 8 KMS client keys?
Your Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 KMS Keys are listed in your Msdn / Technet / Microsoft Volume Licensing Web Site.
Just activate the server using the slmgr.vbs /ato pointing to the right server and it'll be fine. No need for client keys anymore!
Boom, you are right. Thanks.
