Hello Chris Ngobili
To activate Windows Server 2019 with a Volume License Service Center (VLSC) key, you need to follow these steps:
- Log on to the VLSC website.
- Click License, then click Relationship Summary.
- Click License ID of your current Active License.
- After the page loads, click Product Keys.
- In the list of keys, locate Windows Srv 2019 Std KMS or Windows Srv 2019 Std MAK, depending on which type of key you have. Copy the product key.
- On your Windows Server 2019 machine, open an elevated command prompt or PowerShell as administrator.
- Type the following command and then press Enter: slmgr /ipk <product key>, where <product key> is the key you copied from the VLSC website.
If the command runs successfully, it will prompt you to restart the server. You can also check the activation status by opening Server Manager and selecting About.
