A useful command when you want to activate a Windows installation is to use this command in a elevated command prompt:

  1. To install a KMS key, type slmgr.vbs /ipk <KmsKey>
  2. To activate online, type slmgr.vbs /ato.
  3. To displayed detailed licensing info, type: slmgr.vbs /dlv
  4. Useful alternative option: dism /online /Set-Edition:Server[Standard, Datacenter, StandardCor, DatacenterCor] /ProductKey: <AVMA Key> /AcceptEula

:AVMA Key:

Datacenter: TMJ3Y-NTRTM-FJYXT-T22BY-CWG3J

Standard: C3RCX-M6NRP-6CXC9-TW2F2-4RHYD

That’s it. 🙂
