win2008 64 activation

Hi everione,

I'm trying to activate

Server 2008 enterprise x64
or
Server 2008 R2 Enterprise x64

I've been searching here for last 2 days and still can not understand how it works properly.. sorry I'm too new in all that

I have dell Inspiron 9400
I did manage to upgrade bios from 2.0 to 2.1 using exe file from desktop

now I presume I need correct license file and key?

Is there any available links to get ready dell OEM versions ?

Can someone be so kind as to walk me through getting this to work? I would appreciate it very much.

Please let me know if I can provide you with anymore information.

Thanks!

1. Modify BIOS to include SLIC 2.1 and flash BIOS w/ SLIC 2.1
2. Get cert that match the H/W vendor of the SLIC in BIOS. Import it to R2.
3. Select the OEM SLP key for the version (STD/ENT/DC etc.) of R2 to be activated.
4. Done.

 

Ok I have accomplished step one successfully

now I need some detailed help for step 2 and 3
laptop was coming with some Vista which i never use (I was always using server 2003) so where and how I have to get that cert and how to import it to R2 ?

and in step 3 where I have to get that OEM SLP key for Ent version ?


thanks

 

Is there a OEM SLP Key for Windows Server 2008 R2 ?????? where ?
I don't think this key exist!

 

I'm sure it does

question is if someone will share it

 

Well, sharing is caring

Seeing that there are already what, 4 or 5 leaked Win7 SLP keys, it shouldn't be that much longer for a 2008R2 one to leak, considering they'd be coming from the same sources.

 

it took over a year for all the keys for Server 2008 to get leaked.

The thing is not a lot of people buy OEM servers, they buy servers without the OS because they have a VL for the servers.

 

anyone has any link to Win 2008 server x64 enterprise OEM from DELL ?
I did try standard and it works without any activation.


I suppose enterprise will works the same way.

Thanks

 

I did it without any proxy...

 

Hmm.. I did 2

but is that a permamnent activation key or some 180 day one ?

 

Very true or use a internal KMS to activate them, saves a lot of money then getting them from OEM's

 

I've downloaded an local kms ! It works fine for Windows Seven & Vista (Business & Enterprise) but it doesn't work for Srv 2008 and Srv 2008 R2.
Anyone can tell me why ? and where i can find a version which works for both of them ?

Thx

 

yeah , I did try first KVM from WZOr

but it did not work for Server 2003 Standard without Hiper-V
which I've got from there as well

 

Make it yourself from Retail and add slp key + certificate

Without activation ONLY if you have slic+certificate+slp key

Enterprise is the same (of course ent key needs to be used)

sebus

 

Not all, Datacenter I have not yet seen

 

i wouldnt hold my breath.

if you just gotta have server 2008 r2, and/or other ms software/os's just buy a technet acct using a promo code and your set, $261.75 for 10 licences for EACH MS product that requiers activation, as well as access to new stuff thats still in beta or just out is nice, and access to iso's of stuff that have the latist service packs build in is another nice feature

 

SLc I suppose will work what I have now in Inspiron
if Dell's slp key will leak

One other question

How the Volum license's activation works ?
still activates them with KVM ?
