Not my first rodeo BTW the reason here for putting them in code blocks is so a search engine can't find them .. and the reason I mentioned it is so those who don't know can make them work
anyone managed to activate 2012 R2 ? I have 2012 valid keys - but as mentioned on page 3-5 they dont work. Is 2012 R2 not a free upgrade?
red the magnets you post, those the same as OP? lol I added them as mirrors but they the same. Must be a verify ? and after everything is DL'ed I can start on SVF's, see what we can squeeze out of them.
Yes they are the same .. and verified english hash .. At that time was pointing out they were working well for me
Tito as we suspected no difference when using default key to install and then the key we talked about after install
I did not realize that reason for it, thanks. I suppose having a magnet link in a search engine is just inviting the DMCA takedown notices.
Hola So thanks to the OP for posting these Server 2012 R2 links. Much appreciated. One follow up question, these links all seem to be retail versions, I don't see any mention of Volume based editions?!? Or is it just a matter of time before the Volume editions become available? Thanks folks. Glad to see that there are many other more interested in the Server variations as well.
It's a volume edition if you install a volume key. VL-specific media just comes prepopulated with the gvlk (kms client) key so you don't have to enter it* -- those probably won't be seen until they're available to VL customers. *Actually, I think they do it in ei.cfg with '[Channel] Volume' but the end result is the same.
Just as a test, I added a ei.cfg file tot the sources folder like we did for Win8: Code: [Channel] volume [VL] 1 Then I was able to install without the need of entering a key number and had the option of GUI or core during install... then easy change channel depending what key you enter using slmgr command. Just in case someone is interested on this option..
That works for changing the EULA and giving you an option, but it does not set the key to gVLK for KMS activation. You would still need to change the key.
Updated first post with a couple Smartversion patches (bottom of post). -ed- added server r2 to essentials
May I ask if somebody is able to upload only the german language pack for Windows Server 2012 R2 to mega or some other filehoster? Thanks in advance.
Good thing I have a retail Server 2012 key to test THIS with (direct from MS from old now-dead Website Spark program, now subsumed into MSDN).
