Windows Server 2012 ESU - Key Activation
Hello Community, Could anyone here help me to understand how Windows Server 2012/R2: Extended Security Updates work? We purchased the Multiple Activation Key (MAK) and tried to activate it on our Windows servers but it showed that the key is invalid. Tryed to deploy and activate the ESU MAK add-on key by using Slmgr.vbs or VAMT tool but it didn't work. Tried to open a case for Microsoft via Services Hub (microsoft.com) It didn't allow to open a case via the portal but only by phone. Called by phone, but the robot on the other side didn't forward us to a human and only disconnected the call. So we are stuck. No activation, no updates, no support. But the money was spent. 🙂
