Windows Server 2022 Standard installation and activation guide

This guide installs and activates Windows Server 2022 Standard bought from license4u.co.

  1. Get the installation media. Download the Windows Server 2022 ISO from the Microsoft Evaluation Center or use existing media, and boot the server from it.
  2. Install choosing Windows Server 2022 Standard (Desktop Experience) unless you want Server Core, then complete setup.
  3. Convert from evaluation to full edition (skip if you installed from full media). In an administrator Command Prompt run:
    DISM /Online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:YOUR-KEY /AcceptEula
    and restart.
  4. Activate with slmgr /ipk YOUR-KEY then slmgr /ato. Confirm with slmgr /dlv.

If activation fails

Run DISM /Online /Get-CurrentEdition; if it still says ServerStandardEval, repeat the conversion step. Check the server has internet access, or use slui 4 for phone activation. Otherwise email support@license4u.co with your order number and the error code.
