The question is in the Title, I had the impression that you needed a Windows 2008 R2 KMS key to setup the KMS host, even if you wanted to activate Windows 7 licenses only. Am I wrong ?

This question covers exactly the same ground as earlier questions on this topic; its answers may be merged with another identical question. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.
yes and no. You need a 2008 R2 KMS key to activate KMS, but what KMS can activate depends on the class of the key. http://www.itechtalk.com/thread439.html There is a KMS key that allows KMS to ONLY activate Windows 7 and no other WIndows Servers. | |||

The KMs service activates anybody that asks for activation from vista on up. In order for your server to activate computers, you must have at least 5 Servers checked in for server activation to occur or 25 Windows 7 or Vista machines checked in for client activation to occur. | |||
