Volume licenses are intended for businesses purchasing five or more licenses.

Retail boxed products also have stickers inside the box with activation keys. You can also buy a retail box that only includes a download URL and an activation key. It is also more common these days to be able to buy a license online and download the software from Microsoft, and those downloadable products can be licensed retail. This is the kind of license you get when you buy a box in a store.

Retail licenses are pretty straightforward.

Windows Server 2012 R2 OEM licenses still use a sticker. Windows 8 computers have the OEM activation built into the BIOS.

Until Windows 8, OEM licenses included a sticker that was affixed to the computer that has a hologram and the activation key printed on it. You can also get Office or other Microsoft software with OEM licenses if you buy them bundled with a computer or server. When you buy a computer or server and you get Windows or Windows Server pre-installed, you are getting an OEM license.

OEM licenses are only available included with the purchase of hardware.

The four most common license types for Microsoft software are OEM, Retail, Volume, and Subscription. Not necessarily related to the version or edition, there are several license types. The different flavors of one version, like 2012 R2 Standard, Datacenter, Essentials, or Foundation, are called 'Editions' by Microsoft. The different generations of Windows Server, like 2003, 2008, 2012, are called 'Versions' by Microsoft. The best place o obtain a replacement ISO or dvd is from HP support. But often an OEM key that you would have on your server label will not work with an eval copy. I will check to see if evaluation ISO is still available. Foundation is only available pre installed on a server, it is not available on a retail platform.

I have rechecked the keys a dozen times, even with a magnifier. Product sticker has a product key 'WindowsServer*08 Std 1-4cpu', with a Virtual Key. Both times activation has failed with the 'does not appear to be a valid Windows Server 2008 R2 product key'. I then installed and tried to activate Windows Server 2008 R2 (from a Dell dvd I found). I then installed and tried to activate Windows Server 2008 R2 (Iso from MS Licensing Website). I wiped it clean and inserted 32GB of memory and installed Vmware ESX hypervisor on the host. The original host physically had Windows 2003 SP1 installed on it (not virtualized). The Activations are saying 'does not appear to be a valid Windows Server 2008 R2 product key'. Maybe because I added 28GB of memory? Originally 4GB.Р”Р‡ound a Dell Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 disk, it will still not activate with it virtualized on top of ESX.

If its not the product key, could the activation problem be because Im not using hyper-v or maybe the correct install dvd? Well, Im pretty sure I got the product key correct. Is it because Hyper-V was not installed on the host? But I thought you could use the product key alone on a virtual host? Maybe because I am not using a Dell Windows 2008 disk but iso from MS directly via the Volumne Licensing site? The product key is hard to read, and I have checked the key quite a few times. I have installed ESX5 on the server, but I cannot get the Windows 2008 server to activate. but I do not want to use Hyper-V unless I can not help it. The virtual host would stay on the same physical server, so there shouldn't be a problem with licensing.

Not sure why it had Win2003 and not Win2008 from the start, but I would like to use that license if I can. But when I added the memory I noticed the product key sticker was a 'WindowsServer08 Std 1-4cpu' product key, and it also had a Virtual Key. I wiped it clean and maxed out the memory. I had a decommissioned server (Dell PE2950) that we could still use, it had OEM Windows 2003 Std on it but wanted to use it as a new host with VMware ESX5 to put a couple legacy severs on it.
