Server 2012 R2 VL

I'm not 100% sure but I think all Iso's are the same retail and VL, its just the product key that makes it VL people feel free to correct me if im wrong

Are these the same as the KMS installation keys ?

 

These are the 'official' gVLK and Retail Install Keys (they won´t activate) for Windows 8.1, taken from product.ini of Win 8.1 Enterprise.

 

WIN 2012 R2 VL or WIN 8.1 Keys.............which are which

Greetings to all, I am confused, what the WIN 8.1 gVLK got to do with 2012 R 2?

Am I missing something???? My "gehirn" (brain) is not working ?

guys i need help.

just ordered the following:

Microsoft : New Open Contract (without SA)
WinSvrStd 2012R2 SNGL OLP NL 2
WinSvrCAL 2012 SNGL OLP NL Usr
ExchgSvrStd 2013 SNGL OLP NL
ExchgStdCAL 2013 SNGL OLP NL U

the thing is im still awaiting the keys and media/links... but i need to move on its a big project and have limited time so can't wait for that stuff being shipped... i was wondering wich of the following versions would work with the keys i ordered!?

Exchange Server 2013 (x64) - DVD (Multiple Languages)

any idea?

edit: perhaps i need OEM versions?

 

vartaxe: The second one (4098MB) is what you will find for download in VLSC based on what you have purchased. That said, you can install either Retail, OEM or VL media using the generic (GVLK) key and insert your MAK later when it's made available to you.

As for Exchange, download the latest service pack and install it (Exchange service packs, releases, whatever they are calling them now are full media and can be used for initial install). You can activate with your key later.

 

thanks

i confirm they have both the same hash finished downloading them both right now

dunno why all that differents filenames tough it would be easier for everyone if there was just one filename

 

i bought 2x windows server 2012 r2 licenses

now in the VLSC i see 1 key KMS and 1 key MAK... how to proceed?

i mean i just installed the free hyperv server 2012 r2. and wanted to install 3 VM so wich key to use for the first VM and which for the other VM?

thanks for helping

ps: VM1 will be DC, VM2 EXCHANGE, VM3 RDS

EDIT: also by MAK there is 0/45 Activations or Seats

 

i'll go with the first one since i don't have a datacenter license but standard.

 

was wondering what's the diference between Exchange-x64.exe (1,3GB) and the .ISO (3,3GB) since it is like 2GB a bigger file :/

any idea? just wondering...

 

what are the best hyperv 2012 r2 practices?

should i leave the vm host and vm hdd as default on C:\
or perhaps move the vm hdd to d:\
or even move both the vm host and vm hdd to D:\

also if my d:\ has 1TB free space can i create a 2TB vhdx? or isn't it recomended?
