    Unreadable product key - damaged when scratched off


    I have a new Windows Server 2022 Essentials product key. When scratching the code the marked part it was damaged and is unreadable. I currently can't use it even though it has never been used and is new. Can Microsoft help me with this? Does it have a digital version of this key? I have the purchase invoice and I can send a photo of the key.

    :)

    Damaged Product Key on the Label

    Hi,

    I accidentally damaged product key on the label while I was trying to scratch off it. The product key became unreadable and is never used for activation. It is a system builder OEM Windows 10 Pro 64 bit license purchased in channel.

    I wonder if Microsoft can replace it or recover the Product Key? If so, what’s the procedure?

    Thank you.
