A few days ago Microsoft released a newer version of the management pack for monitoring the Key Management Service that is used to activate Windows Vista and Windows 2008 to now extend support to Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2.

From the MP download page the following information:

Overview
The Key Management Service is used to activate computers running Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Each activation request is logged on the KMS host. The KMS Management Pack collects data from the event logs of defined KMS hosts, and monitors those hosts for availability. This monitoring provides visibility into the activation traffic and the license status of volume activation clients on the network. This management pack monitors uptime and operational health of the KMS host(s) under management.
