    Hi Lei,

    Thanks for your response. I am trying to activate my Windows Server 2022 Standard Evaluation license by clicking on Change Product Key and entering the Retail Valid Product Key but the system gives error message "The Product key you entered didn't work. Check the product key and try again, or enter a different one (0xc004f050). Could you please advise how can I activate my server?

    Thank you.
