Guide
The DISM and slmgr commands used to convert a Windows Server evaluation install and activate against a Key Management Service host, plus Microsoft's published generic and KMS client keys for every Windows edition.
6 commands · 149 keys · 5 Windows families
Note
These are NOT product / license keys that are valid for Windows activation. Generic keys only select the edition of Windows to install during setup; KMS client keys only tell a machine which edition to request from a Key Management Service host you are licensed to use. Neither licenses an installation.
These commands only work against a Key Management Service host your organisation is licensed to use, or with a retail/MAK key you own. They do not create a licence.
Run from an elevated prompt. Only editions listed here are valid targets for the conversion below.
Replace the edition with one returned above and the key with your own retail/MAK key, or the matching KMS client key if you activate through a KMS host. The server reboots twice.
Sets the edition the machine will request. Use the KMS client key for your edition, or a retail/MAK key.
Only needed when DNS auto-discovery of the KMS SRV record is unavailable. Use the hostname of the KMS server your organisation operates; the default port is 1688.
Contacts the KMS host (or Microsoft, for retail/MAK keys) and activates.
/dlv prints detailed licence information; /xpr just prints the expiry date.
