Such can be done via the following commands from an elevated command prompt: You can usually resolve such issues by uninstalling the current product key, installing the product key from the label and peforming an activation. So if you reinstall on a virtual machine you will not have access to the BIOS data and the cross checks used by the SLP mechanism will obviously fail. But for such commands to get the required access to the BIOS, they need to run on the real hardware itself.
WILL MY SERVER 2012 STANDARD PRODUCT KEY WORK WITH R2 INSTALL
Now if you install the OS yourself, you can mimic the OEM install activity using 'slmgr.vbs" command to install the license certificate within the OS, to install the OEM SLP product key and thus self activate without internet access. using OEM SLP product keys and OEM SLP license certificate.īut presumably you have warranty with the server, so i'd look to Dell support for resolving this activation issue for you. When these cross check are found to be OK, the OS is considered "activated" and in this sence there is no such thing as a temporary product key. It all happens during the OEM post OS install process when using OEM (not MS) media. In a simplistic sence, the Dell OEM SLP product key, which is common on all Dell servers using 2012 Esential R2, is installed and then the Dell OEM SLP licence certificate, which is stored within the BIOS/NVRAM by the factory, is installed within the OS followed by some cross checks between these objects.
It's OEM SLP black magic activation :emotion-1:
Disclaimer, I don't have a T110 nor use 2012 R2 but i like playing with computers :emotion-1:Īs you purchase the PE T-110 II server from Dell with Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials preinstalled, it should already be self activated without requiring user intervention or access to the internet.
