Hello, I'm attempting to reactivate a license for a Windows Server 2022 onto a new install of Windows Server 2022 on the same device. I had already unlicensed the key on the original Windows Server, but when trying to reactive on the new install, it doesn't accept it. Why is this?

    Hello,

    You mean the previous product key didn't work?

    This process should be no problem, and I recommend that you make a phone call to activate it. The steps are as follows:

    1. Press Windows logo key  + R, type slui 4 in the Open box, and select OK.
    2. Select your location (or the location nearest to you) from the drop-down list, and then select Next.
    3. Call one of the available phone numbers listed. An automated system will guide you through the activation process.
    4. If you're not able to complete activation successfully, you will be connected to Microsoft support for your region and country.

    Hope this helps.

    Best Regards,

    Hania Lian
