How can i use my Windows Server 2016 Activation Key(CAL) for Windows Server 2012R2
I have a license key for Windows server 2016 But my OS is Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, and I want to use that key to activate my Windows Server 2012 R2. Could anyone please let me know how can I convert it.

You can contact the activation center to discuss downgrade rights and obtain the down level product key.
