    Hi JayTechTips,

    You could use the following KMS keys for installing Windows server 2022 v10.0.20344.1
    Windows Server 2022 Datacenter:  WX4NM-KYWYW-QJJR4-XV3QB-6VM33
    Windows Server 2022 Standard:  VDYBN-27WPP-V4HQT-9VMD4-VMK7H

    Please remember that these keys are KMS keys and you would need KMS activation server setup at your end for activating your Windows Server 2022 install. Else you would be able to move past the setup key screen while installing the server but WILL NOT be able to activate Windows Server 2022 after install. This is because the build 20344.1 is a production signed build.

    Hope this helps.

G'day, am looking at purchasing server in the upcoming months if I purchase windows server from Microsoft will I get physical install media for $2500 I would hope so, also once I licence each core, can I insert the disk and it work as a security device, so without the disk it's locked, or if there is a spare 100mb or so on the disk is how I valid the cals, so if that disk is out my licenced core will be locked out I guess???
