Oct 17, 2013 - It's a great day as Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 bits have gone GA (“General Availability”). So it's of to the Volume License.

Also you have to run this script in an Elevated command prompt. JJoyner1985 wrote: If I recall correctly, you are using Server 2012 R2 Standard. Per, 'AVMA requires a Microsoft Virtualization Server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter or Windows Server 2016 Datacenter.'

That being said, the AMVA keys should still work for your VMs, though I believe they must be entered and activation must be handled manually. The way I'm handling this in my organization is via a batch script. The text of the script is as follows. Batchfile slmgr /ipk DBGBW-NPF 86-BJVTX-K 3WKJ-MTB 6V cd C: windows system 32 cscript slmgr.vbs /ato exit Hi. I used this command, but windows still says Not Activated? - Bill - fyi, I did use a Windows Server Standard 2012 R2 eval download, but converted it to Standard Edition using the DISM command line options (along with the actual product key). I have 1 VM that I did the same way and it is activated, however 2 VM's are not activating.

Now that I'm typing this out, it probably stands to reason that I should use Server 2012 R2 install disc, unfortunately I don't have that. 1 VM is activating and the other 2 aren't? Are they all on the same hypervisor? If so, at best you'd only be able to activate 1 more VM before going over your Server 2012 R2 virtualization licensing.

Since 1 activated but the others aren't, I have to ask: Is the hypervisor system running any other role than Hyper-V? If so, then you would only be able to host 1 VM under it. Server 2012 R2 Standard virtualization licensing can be used in one of two ways: • You can license 1 hypervisor and 2 VMs if the hypervisor holds no roles other than Hyper-V. • You can license 1 hypervisor and 1 VM if the hypervisor holds other roles than Hyper-V.

The 3rd VM is activated I assume because I had a different Window Server 2012 R2 License Number, but the other 2 VM's we supposed to be activated using the HyperVisor Key#.

I'm wondering if that 'did me in'? I did see that IIS had been installed, but I did not finish the Veeam install when it wanted to install SQL Server I cancelled. Text slmgr /ipk DBGBW-NPF86-BJVTX-K3WKJ-MTB6V slui 4 You are certain the VM has internet connection? Or are you certain you are using the VM product code and not the physical one? If that is a thing on your license? There should be two product keys labeled as virtual.Hi.

I purchased a DL license and only received 1 code. All of the VM's do have an internet connection. After I installed them yesterday and used the DISM command, they said Activated. Today, they're not activated. However I did attempt to install Veeam One Free edition on the HyperVisor, but aborted the install when it wanted to install SQL Server. I do however see the IIS role now installed which must have been through the Veeam install.

I removed it, but still no activation on the VM's. Thanks - Bill. Bill-AATFtech wrote:Hi. Yes, all on 1 hypervisor. The 3rd VM is activated I assume because I had a different Window Server 2012 R2 License Number, but the other 2 VM's we supposed to be activated using the HyperVisor Key#.Ah, yes.

That does make sense. So, none of the VMs using the AVMA key are activating. In that case, I must fall back to my recommendation of running that DISM command to confirm that the version did change from eval to retail. Bill-AATFtech wrote:Hi.
