How activation details can be found?
What for activation details do you mean? If you mean the Edition, you can get with SQL query:
SELECT @@VERSION
I mean the License I have purchased and inputted in the ms sql server. How can I know that ms sql server is licensed or not?
As I wrote, run the SQL query
SELECT @@VERSION
it returns details, also if it's a licences Standard Edition or the Evaluation test Edition.
This only shows the version and edition of mssql server but not the license information. I want to know the license information.
If it returns "Standard Edition", then it's licensed.
SQL Server don't store any further license informations, you have the license only on paper.

Did you mean that you want to get the license key information? If so, you can try the workarounds from third party blog. Get the information through windows registry key or using Power shell. Please refer to below third blog to get detail steps. If i misunderstood, please let me know.
