I installed and activated a Server 2022 Standard host successfully. By error I tried to activate the Hyper-V Virtual Machines (VMs) with the same license key (not knowing about AVMA activation until then) and encountered "DMAK limit exceeded" on the second VM.
So far so good, but (from then on?) I could not activate the VM with the respective AVMA key (see screenshots as provided).
What can / should I do?
Many thanks - Michael

AVMA activation is available only on the Windows Server Datacenter.
Your best option is to call the Microsoft Activation Center and request more activations for the given key to proceed.
No - According to Microsoft (https://answers.microsoft.com/de-de/windowserver/forum/all/windows-server-2022-aktivierung-funktioniert-nicht/42cd661c-f098-4dab-b8e1-353edbe60cea) als Standard is supportes / required:
