Couple days has passed since I’ve setup few virtual machine in my testing environment. In my environment, I’ve setup
Hosts:-
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Data Center Preview Edition
- VM1 - Windows Server 2008 R2
- VM 2- Windows Server 2012
- VM3 – Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview Edition (Standard Edition)
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials.
However this is definitely a nice and welcome feature.
To try AVMA, perform the following steps:-
1. Install Host with Windows Server 2012 Data Center (Preview Edition) and activate it
2. Install the Win2012 R2 Edition VM
3. In the VM, open command prompt with elevated prompt:-
slmgr /ipk (AVMA key) |
Edition | Key |
Data Center | XVNRV-9HTX4-TH2JD-HVJQD-QRQWG |
Standard | HXFNP-8HYQ3-4FMC3-2DHJ9-M97JF |
Essential | 7VW9N-8C48X-J6442-J3KM6-FVTM9 |
