Hi, I have a host Server: Windows Server 2016 Standar edition OEM__COA__NSLP channel

Then I try to activate with

**1.- slmgr /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx**

**2.- slmgr /ato**

with my host server KEY. now appear 0xC004C003.

    You can only use AVMA product keys for guests on a DataCenter host. When the host is Standard you just reuse the host product key for guest activation.
