Windows Server 2022 Essentials
1 TopicWindows Server 2022 Essentials Activation Error
Hi, I bought a new Dell server with Windows Server 2022 Essentials licence. It came with the key for Windows Server 2022 Essentials. So, I found this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server-essentials/get-started/get-started, and here I can read the Note: With Windows Server 2022, the Essentials edition is available to purchase from OEMs only, however there is no specific installation media. Instead, an Essentials edition product key is used to activate the Standard edition of Windows Server 2022. So, I intalled using a Windows Server 2022 Standard ISO and it didn't ask for a key on installtion process and configured it, but when trying to activate, it gave this error: The product key you entered didn't work. Check the product key and try again, or enter a different one. (0xc004f050) I double and triple checked the key and I'm sure it's right. Need a help here, the server is already in production and can't be reinstalled. Thank you1.9KViews0likes2Comments
