Change KMS to MAK key on Windows 2008 server

25.10.2010 von Tim Wanierke.

If you ever need to change a Windows 2008 to MAK key then do the following (requires reboot and a valid MAK key):

1. Start an elevated CMD prompt
2. slmgr /rearm
   NOTE: the rearm command can only be done 3 times on an Win2008 server
3. Reboot the server
4. On next logon enter the valid MAK key (and activate)
   If activation doesn’t work logoff/login and run the slmgr /ato (from a cmd prompt)

To verify your license run slmgr /dli or slmgr /dlv in a cmd prompt

slmgr /dli (licence information)
