    Supposedly the datacenter key is supposed to give you unlimited VM rights under Hyper-V. What key do you use to activate the VMs?

    I think you require a phone activation.

    Verification codes might have worked in the past but now the website doesn't show any code

    Actually, there's a new (and far easier) program that works similarly - WebsiteSpark. (It's a subset of DreamSpark, but for website developers, admins, etc.)

    In addition to getting a valid/usable key for Windows Server 2012 (Standard, not Datacenter), you also get a valid key for Visual Studio 2012 Professional.

    It's the program I used to get my Windows Server 2012 (which I am entering this from, in fact).
