How can I determine what version of Windows Server is installed from the PID

I am currently responsible for the licensing of our company and I want to find out what servers have been installed under what license i.e. OEM, MSDN, KMS.

Is it possible using the PID that you can determine which version of Windows Server is installed. I need to know this for all versions of Windows Server since 2000-2008 R2.

Hi Kudos2000,

Your question is more complex than the most seen on the answers. I suggest that you re-post on our TechNet forums where computer professionals can help you.
I hope this helps.

  • How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 upgrade copy corresponds to?

    A few years back, one of my friends gave me his old computer running Windows 7.  I just had to replace the motherboard and processor on it, and when I went to reinstall Windows, I learned that the CD Win7 key he had corresponded to a Windows 7 upgrade version.  From what I could tell, I need to install an older version of Windows first, and then use the upgrade CD to return to Win7.  I installed Windows XP Home Edition and I tried, but the CD Win7 said that I had the wrong version of Windows to upgrade.  I installed Windows Vista and got the same thing.  How can I tell what version of Windows my Win7 update of that CD will modernize?

    Thank you!

    Looks like the copy of Windows 7, you were trying to install from Windows XP Home Edition is a 64-bit version.

    You will need to boot from the DVD 64 bit Windows 7:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:
    http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/

    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

    Oh, a separation of thought here.  I hope you better treat that you have treated others.  I don't appreciate someone implying that I am "breaking into any computer.  Microsoft makes it easy for me..., you just made me angry.

    First of all, please cite what anyone in my message that was humiliating or derogatory.  I'll gladly apologize for it.  I am sure that you will find nothing, however.

    By reflect, if you use a method to access a PC that bypasses the password, you're violating in this computer, if it's yours.  It is a fact, but it is not an insult.  Not where I "talked down" for you.
