I need to replace Win Server 2008 product key with my own license

Windows is demanding I get the original key (which I did not) before I can I get my product key

See the steps below how I arrived at this point:

1. I created a my Web using VMware Server Virtual Machine.

2. I moved the virtual machine to a new host OVH

3 Windows Activation was necessary, but I don't have the product key

4. I googled and found this command to erase the old key slmgr.vbs - ckms

5. I didn't know that I needed the old key to activate and then I could add my own key

6. I tried to recover the original key using 'magic jelly bean', but without success.

Now I have problems with the license and it says that my windows is not genuine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried Microsoft but they are asking for £199 to open a pension deal?

Thanks in advance

  • Satellite L650D - need drivers for Win server 2008

    Laptop model: Satellite L650D-PSK1SA-03E014

    before that I installed win7 32 bit OS.

    Now I want to change to 64-bit, but he says still no startup disk after the completion of copy and restart.
    I use the recovery disk that I burned after that I bought and used the System Restore Wizard.

    So I decide to install win Server 2008 r2 64-bit, installation is successful, but some hardware drivers can be find and install from the Web site.
    (I use win7 64-bit drivers, I read online, a guy said that it works on his laptop, but do not know why it does not work for me.)

    should I take the laptop to the support center and ask them to install the drivers for me?
    I'm not sure that this service is covered by the warranty or not.

    Or I can ask them to install win7 64 bit OS for me?

    Does anyone have the link to the drivers for win Server 2008 r2 64-bit?
    Thank you very much!

    As much as I know Win server 2008 is not supported by Toshiba, so you will not be able to find the drivers for it. Toshiba offers support for OS preinstalled only and possibly an upgrade if your laptop model is supported for the new OS.
    Warranty has nothing to with Win server 2008 so I think that guys will not be helpful for you. What they can do is to check if the original recovery image can be installed or not. If this is not the case, there may be a hardware problem.

  • How to get right to downgrade to Windows Server 2008, if I buy window 2012 license

    We need to buy Windows Server 2008 Enterprise X 64 Edition, unfortunately, is not available although wanted to confirm which edition of Windows Server 2012 devrais I buy to get the edition of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise X 64 Edition downgrade but I found the information in your FAQ document, mentioned in Q15 I have to buy Windows Server 2012 Standard for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise

    Q15. If I want to use the bits from a previous version or edition, what are my options?

    If you have Windows Server Datacenter edition 2012, you will have the right to downgrade your bits any earlier version or lower edition. If you have Windows Server 2012 Standard edition, you have the right to downgrade your forests to any previous version of Enterprise, Standard or Essentials editions.

    The ability to execute downgrade bits do not change licensing or support the terms in which you use the product; rights of the purchased product (Windows Server 2012) will apply. This means that the license will continue to wear two physical processors and virtualization of the rights do not change.

    Here are a few examples. License purchased
