Windows Server Activation failed

I installed a windows server 2016 and it was activated 2 months ago, but two days ago I recieved a notice that my windows server is not activated that I need to enter a new key.

 

Thank you

      Hi Dave,

      many thanks for your response. I have been able to activate it after an antivirus was uninstalled from the server.

    you can´t activate it with the same key again?

    Where do you get your key from? 

    Is there some error code you can share with us?

    If yes, you can have a look here:
