Hi,
we have 2 servers that recently show activation problems. In server manager the product ID field shows 'not activated' and the desktop turend back: not good! I attempted to resolve this by re-activating the server using slmgr -ato. I got a nice popup stating
the Product activated succesfully. But in servermanager it still shows not activated.
I attempted to clear the licensing state and activate:
slmgr -upk
slmgr -cpky
slmgr -ipk (another MAK key then used before)
slmgr -ato
but also no success. I repeated this after restarting the software protection service and also redid the activation (again 'succesfully') using slui 3, but the issue still is not resolved.
Where could I find more info (like logs) on this kind of activation issues?
Anyone experienced this before or know how to resolve?
all hints welcome!
