One of the first things that you do after installing the Windows Server operating system is activate it with a valid product key. You can do this through the desktop interface or through PowerShell.

In this section, I cover activating through the desktop interface. I cover activation through PowerShell in the later section on activation for Server Core.

1 Log into the server.Server Manager opens automatically.

2 In Server Manager, click Local Server in the navigation pane.

3 To start the activation process, click the Not Activated hyperlink next to Product ID.A dialog box launches automatically asking for the product key.
