But it's a retail version of Server 2008 R2 Standard. Do I still go to that site and call?

I have Windows Server 2008 R2. I'm trying to find a place where Microsoft can say "Your Key is Genuine" without installing the OS and activating it. Where can I go to do this?

Hi, For licensing/Key questions, I suggest contacting Microsoft Licensing Center for detailed explanation. http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/contact-us.aspx Worldwide customers can use the Guide to Worldwide Microsoft Licensing Sites http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/index/worldwide.asp to find contact information in their locations.

I'm pretty sure they can still help you. They'll at least give you the correct number to call.
