While completing a Server 2012 setup I went to activate the OS and kept getting errors. Window luckily show you the last set of characters in the activation key (so how they were not even close to what they were suppose to be.

Find or Change Windows server 2012 product key – How to do. June 21, 2013 admin Product Key Finder, Windows server, Windows Server 2012. Are you still looking for Windows server 2012 product key on the Internet? Generally, Windows server product key is on your computer or stored with Windows 2012 product manual. Install this update on the KMS host if it is running Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, or Windows Server 2012. Get Windows 10 Get a new Windows product key. Oct 10, 2016  Aqui instalou com este serial obrigado! Saturday, February 15, 2014 10:28 PM. 'if you have problem with the product key i have all product key from windows vista to window server 2012 r2 and i have also product key of microsoft office from microsoft office 2010 upto microsoft office 2013 just contact me for more info. Whilst this is not obvious, this is caused by having the wrong product key. In my case I had installed Windows 2012 server and had not yet entered a product key. On the Windows Activation screen it showed: Windows isn't activated Current edition Windows Server 2012 Standard Current product key ****-92BT4. Convert x to dvd 3. I have recently installed Windows Server 2012 Release Candidate Datacenter, with no issues. The default key that comes on the ISO works fine for me. The thing is, the WIM on the ISO contains 4 products - Windows Server 8 Beta SERVERSTANDARDCORE Windows Server 8 Beta SERVERSTANDARD Windows. The product key included in the media is indeed.

The odd thing was that windows did not allow me to change the key from any of the GUI's

So out came the Powershell..

2 Steps total

Step 1: Clear The Current Key

Windows Server 12 Essentials Videos

Open Powershell with admin rights then enter:

slmgr -upk (this removes the current Product Key)

Step 2: Add The New (or Correct Key)

Now that the key is cleared you can either stay in Powershell and enter the new key with the following:

slmgr -ipk XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX (with the X's of course being the Key )

or

Go the the activation GUI and you will now be able to enter a Key

There you have it! Quick, simple and it gets the job done

    Thanks for Sharing! Windows 8 has the exact same issue I don't know why Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to remove the ability to type in a new key via the GUI. What a pain in the butt!

    I also had this issue when installing 2012. At the time I did a quick Google search and discovered that it didn't have the correct key. Used the Power-shell commands and put in the correct key and kabooom. it worked! Its crazy the GUI doesn't let you enter a different key.

    Works great! Used on one of my 2012 servers. Add on question: how do I reveal a product key?

    Thank you! This helped.
    It seems that Microsoft if heading toward phasing out the GUI for servers. It probably won't be too long before you won't have a choice for a GUI or core install - you'll just get a core install with PowerShell to do everything.

    I did run the PS command slmgr -upk to remove the activation key but when I tried to enter the key I was given by our tech team, I received an error.
    The error gave me a command that lets me get to the GUI to enter the product key.
    If you run the PS command 'slui.exe', the GUI will open with a button that says 'add product key'

    Hi, you can bring up the GUI to change the product key by typing 'slui 3' in the Run window..

    for those who are interested in doing through GUI. Open 'Server Manager', click 'Local Server' from the left panel. In the 'Properties' window look for 'Product ID' click the blue hyper link. It will open 'Windows Activation' where you can enter new product key and activate.

    I ran across some different directions when activating a 2012 R2. I was having some issues with the above solution so hopefully the below directions will help some other poor soul out there at some point.

    If you are having issues with activating your installation, here is an alternative solution:
    1. From an elevated command prompt, determine the current edition name with the command 'DISM /online /Get-CurrentEdition'. Make note of the edition ID, an abbreviated form of the edition name.
    Then run 'DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula', providing the edition ID and a retail product key. The server will restart twice.
