I built a new 2008R264bit server and entered the worng key, how can I change to the proper volume license key?

Hello edwardm2005, Open an elevated cmd prompt and run slmgr /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx that will change your product keyThanks, Darrell Gorter This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi, You’d better run the following commands to clear the KMS entry and product key installed before entering another product key: Slmgr.vbs –ckms (This parameter clears KMS entry) Slmgr.vbs –upk (This parameter removes product key installed) Then run the command slmgr.vbs –ipk xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. Please note that if you use KMS to activate the machine, pay attention to enter a KMS client setup key for Windows Server 2008, not enter the KMS host key if this server isn’t installed as a KMS host. You can find the proper KMS client up from the following link: KMS Client Setup Keys Best Regards Dale Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
