    Hello

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot this problem:

    1. Check Activation Status:

    • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run:

    slmgr /xpr

    This command will show the activation status of your server.

    2. Re-activate Using Command Prompt:

    • You can try re-activating the server using the following commands:

    slmgr /ipk <Your-Product-Key>

    slmgr /ato

    3. Run Activation Troubleshooter:

    • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation and run the activation troubleshooter. This can help identify and fix common activation issues.

    4. Review Event Logs:

    • Check the Event Viewer for any activation-related errors. Look under Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > Security-SPP for relevant entries.

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

    Best Regards,

    Daisy Zhou
