Licensing problem | Server 2022 Essentials

Question

Hello guys,

please try to ignore my bad english.
I set up a windows server 2022 domain for a small company with around 8-10
employees. The server hardware is just a normal ASUS Mainboard with only one
APU with 8 cores and no GPU.
So there is no need for a larger licensing then Server 2022 Essentials.

We ordered a key at an english license online store for around 300 GBP.
When I try to activate our Server version with the essentials key
it says something like 'This productkey doesn't work, check later or try another.' with error
code (0xc004f050).

Is it obvious that we got scammed or am I missing something?

I am very thankful for any help.

Yours, knallkoerper
