How to Activate Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition with a Product Key
If you have installed Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition on your server, you may need to activate it with a product key. A product key is a 25-character code that verifies that your copy of Windows is genuine and not used on more devices than the license allows. There are different types of product keys for different editions and versions of Windows Server.
One type of product key is a Generic Volume License Key (GVLK), which is used to activate Windows Server with a Key Management Services (KMS) host. A KMS host is a server that runs a service that can activate other computers on the same network. This way, you don't have to enter a product key for each computer individually. However, you need to have a KMS host available on your local network and install the appropriate GVLK on your server.

Another type of product key is a Multiple Activation Key (MAK), which is used to activate Windows Server directly with Microsoft's activation servers. A MAK can be used to activate a limited number of computers, depending on how many activations are available for your license. You don't need a KMS host for this method, but you need an internet connection and a valid MAK.
In this article, we will show you how to activate Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition with a GVLK using a KMS host. If you don't have a KMS host or want to use a MAK instead, you can skip to the end of this article for alternative methods.
Step 1: Find the GVLK for Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition
The first step is to find the GVLK that matches your edition and version of Windows Server. You can find the list of GVLKs for Windows Server and other products on Microsoft's website[^1^]. For Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition, the GVLK is:

slmgr.vbs -ipk W3GGN-FT8W3-Y4M27-J84CP-Q3VJ9
This will install the GVLK on your server and prepare it for activation with a KMS host. You should see a message saying that the product key was installed successfully.
Step 3: Activate your server with a KMS host
The final step is to activate your server with a KMS host. You can do this by using an administrative command prompt and running the following command:
