Hi, I've been trying to find out if it is possible to transfer Windows Server 2022 Standard to a different machine. I've seen answers referring to Server 2019 but I can't find anything about 2022 specifically.

as I understand it, if it is the same process as 2019 then we just need to remove the product key using slmgr.exe /upk and then we can activate it on the other machine.

    Hi Josh Smith8,

    yes, you can transfer Windows Server 2022 Standard to a different machine.

    The process is similar to that of Windows Server 2019. You can remove the product key using the slmgr.exe /upk command and then activate it on the other machine.

    However, please note that you can only transfer the license to another machine once every 90 days.

    Also, make sure that the new machine meets the hardware requirements for Windows Server 2022 Standard.

    Hope it helps.

    Best regards,

    Lei

    Does the 90 days apply also from the 1st install. I've been trying to move license from a temp server to the permanent server. It is only 30 days and it won't activate.
