Product Key Windows Server 2016

Question

my server 2016 crashed - was able to run disk repair from another computer in order to get it to boot again. I ran the vbs script below. I got back a code that MS is telling me is not valid.

I talked to a licensing tech and he gave me this command to run from powershell (as administrator) - " wmic path softwarelicensingservice get oa3xoriginalproductkey " - it only returned " oa3xoriginalproductkey ".

Does anyone have an idea on how I can get the product key? I need to replace this drive but don't have the key (it was on a DVD case that is missing - this is not a digital license).

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

MsgBox ConvertToKey(WshShell.RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId"))

Function ConvertToKey(Key)

Const KeyOffset = 52

i = 28

Chars = "BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789"

Do

Cur = 0

x = 14

Do

Cur = Cur * 256

Cur = Key(x + KeyOffset) + Cur

Key(x + KeyOffset) = (Cur \ 24) And 255

Cur = Cur Mod 24

x = x -1

Loop While x >= 0

i = i -1

KeyOutput = Mid(Chars, Cur + 1, 1) & KeyOutput

If (((29 - i) Mod 6) = 0) And (i <> -1) Then

i = i -1

KeyOutput = "-" & KeyOutput

End If

Loop While i >= 0

ConvertToKey = KeyOutput

End Function

Answer 3

Sounds good, it is not malware. There are several others you can try as well. Also, unlikely but ask the seller if they have a record.
