Windows Licensing

Purpose

Read-only inventory of Windows activation state across your KubeVirt VMs, collected through the guest agent (slmgr). Zeus OS never hosts a KMS or redistributes licenses — it reports what your own activation infrastructure says.

When to use it

  • Confirm every Windows guest is activated before an audit
  • Find VMs sitting in a grace period or about to expire
  • Verify newly provisioned Windows VMs picked up the right KMS host
  • Spot guests where the agent is offline, so licensing state is unknown

How to get there

  • Route: /windows-licensing
  • Nav: Run -> Windows Licensing
  • Related: /vms, /compliance

Operate from the console (UX)

  1. Open /windows-licensing from the sidebar, workspace switcher, or command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K).
  2. Read the PageHead / deck line — confirm it matches: Read-only inventory of Windows activation state across your KubeVirt VMs, collected through the guest agent (slmgr). Z….
  3. Prefer dry-run / plan when the UI offers it before mutating production.
  4. Start the wizard or job; watch progress and history panels.
  5. Confirm completion on the target inventory (VMs, snapshots, backup store).
  6. Empty / fail: No data → check auth, namespace filter, and that required operators (KubeVirt/CDI/monitoring) are installed; purpose was: Read-only inventory of Windows activation state across your KubeVirt VMs, collected through the gues.
  7. Success: Live inventory or job progress matches the deck line; you can navigate to a related center without re-auth.
