#Buy windows server 2012 r2 standard license key online windows
We now have added the fully up to date Product Keys for Windows Server 2019. We also have keys available for Server 2016 which you can view by clicking the link below: Windows Server 2016 Evaluation Activation. I’m including this tidbit to clarify that the empty value for “Current edition is” doesn’t seem to have any relevance here. Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation Activation. Only “Current Edition” had a value for me: “ServerStandard”.

One other thing I found confusing is that if you run DISM /online /Get-CurrentEdition, there is a “Current edition is” and a “Current Edition” parameter in the response. So I ran the command with “ServerStandard” and it worked, as follows.ĭISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula That revealed an option for “ServerStandard”. Poking around a bit more I found the DISM TechNet reference and the DISM.exe /Online /Get-TargetEditions command. Unfortunately, it didn’t mention anything about MSDN licenses, and in principle my edition wasn’t changing, so I didn’t really know what to do for the Set-Edition parameter that he speaks to in:ĭISM /online /Set-Edition: /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula. I had vague recollections that this may not be possible, but the best information I found was this Blain Barton post on converting evaluation editions.

Off to my favourite search engine I went, but I found surprisingly little about this. It basically tells you the same thing about struggling with the edition.

Running that slui.exe command doesn’t get you very far though. “Error: 0xC004F069 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run ‘slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F069’ to display the error text” If you’re running an evaluation version of Windows Server 2012 R2 and want to activate it with an MSDN license, you may find that you get an error like this:
