My Hyper-V Windows 2019 Server is activated. Can I use the same Product Key to activate a Virtual Machine inside Hyper-V?

    Hello James Castillo

    To activate the VM, you can use Automatic Virtual Machine Activation (AVMA).

    To activate VMs with AVMA, you use a generic AVMA key (detailed in AVMA keys) that corresponds to the version of Windows Server that you want to activate. 

    For more details, please refer to this link: Automatic Virtual Machine Activation in Windows Server | Microsoft Learn

    To resolve this issue, I advise you to type "slui.exe 0x2a 0xc004f069" and press Enter. This will show you the exact reason for the activation failure and suggest some steps to resolve it.
