  1. Windows Server 2022 Datacenter license activation


    We recently bought a server, and we received it with the OS already active. Next, we received a new license from the Vendor with a Windows Server Datacenter. This server will be used to create a Virtual machine with Hyper-V, but for some reason, the VMs are not inheriting the license from the physical one.We need assistance, but when we try to reach Microsoft Support, the AI doesn't give us any response.My question is, do we need to change the license in the physical server for the one that we receive, or do we need to take an additional step for the virtual machine to inherit the license?

  2. Activate Windows Server 2022 Datacenter on Hyper-V Host with Windows Server 2019 Datacenter

    Hi!

    I tried to aktivate a new VM on my Hyper-V Host.

    The Hyper-V Host is a Windows Server 2019 DataCenter Core.

    The new VM is a Windows Server 2022 DataCenter (with GUI).

    For the activation by Host i use the AVMA-Key for Windows Server 2022 DataCenter but the Server couldn´t be activated with this key.

    Why? Isn´t possible to use a WinSrv 2022 DC as guest on a WinSrv 2019 DC Host?
