I activated 2012R2 with it. I don't have a Dell 2016. Been looking but haven't found one. I saw that post and was fearing it would apply to me too. Thanks for the effort!
Thanks Serg for all the help I flashed the bios and then checked the version using slic toolkit, it now shows version 2.4. I then installed Windows Server 2012 R2 from a Dell OEM DVD, this activates fine Next I installed Windows Server 2016 using a Microsoft Eval Version and then tried to activate it using this method slmgr.vbs -ilc C:\DELL.xrm-ms slmgr.vbs -ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx I got the license key from here https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/windows-server-2016-oem-slp-keys.75889/ this fails, should this work or do I need a Dell OEM DVD for Server 2016 to activate?
