Command so see the status of your Windows license:

Code: Select all

slmgr.vbs /dlv
It gives you a lof of info:
- if Windows is activated
- what version is currently licensed
- activation ID; application ID
- the validation URL (https://validation-v2.sls.microsoft.com ... slwga.asmx); don't know what is it for tough

Essentially I switched from an evaluation version of Windows Server to an actual one with this command from a privileged command prompt:

Code: Select all

DISM /Online /set-edition:serverstandard /productkey:YOUR_LICENSE_NUMBER /accepteula
Another command prompt (elevated privileges as usual) can be this, to set another product key:

Code: Select all

slmgr /ipk your_product_key</li>
