"I would suggest that you use a MAK key rather than a KMS Host Key.
MAK allows you to activate multiple machines over the Internet with that one key, the total is dependant on the licensing program with which you acquired the product key.
KMS activation allows you to activate your machine internally against a KMS host which you set up on your internal network. For Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 you would need 5 machines before the count would be high enough to activate. So you would need to install at least 5 machines and possibly 6, of Windows Server 2008 \R2.
The Key you are using is a KMS host key, this enables that machine to be a KMS host, other KMS client machines would attempt to contact the KMS host ( It registers with DNS) to actvate rather than activing over the Internet"
