Hi,
One of our customers ordered new dell server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter OEM license as Hyper-V host. It will be installed in 2-3 months.
However he needs quickly one virtual machine which will be moved later to the new server. I would like to install for him Hyper-V host on PC and create Virtual Server using evaluate license and once new machine will be on place move it.
I have DELL OEM (Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter) media from another server but don’t have evaluation key which can use (those which I found on
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612867.aspx don’t work with DVD which I have).
My questions are:
What will happen if I don’t activate the windows to the moment when will be moved to new server? Will is stop working completely or just notify me about activation and won’t allow updates?
Is any way to get Evaluation Key which will work with the media?
Thank you
