You receive an error message when you try to activate a Windows Vista-based computer in a KMS pool: "The returned count from your Key Management Service is insufficient"
You try to activate a new Windows Vista-based client computer. If the client computer is hosted by a computer that is running the Key Management Service (KMS), the client computer may not be activated successfully. Therefore, the computer is not added to the KMS pool. Instead, you receive the following error message:
0xC004F038
The computer could not be activated. The returned count from your Key Management Service is insufficient.
This problem may occur when there are fewer than 25 client computers in the KMS pool.
To resolve this problem, you must add more client computers to the KMS pool.
To determine how many computers are in the KMS pool on the KMS host, type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
Slmgr.vbs -dli

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
