Hi guys, thanks for reading. I downloaded Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard SP2 x64 - Volume License but can't find how to activate it. I'm currently in the 30 day grace period. I've searched and tried keys, SLP keys but nothing. This is new to me, I've been spoiled by KMS_VL_ALL but it doesn't support 2003. Any help much appreciated.
As far as I know, if you truly used Server 2003 R2 VL media and a matching VL product key, you should be already activated. T'was the beauty of XP/Server 2003 activation, VL media ("Corporate") and VL key means being instantly activated without contacting MS servers. As you are in 30 days grace, you probably used Retail or OEM installation media. Switching licensing channels through the product key alone is only possible with Vista/Server 2008 and above.
