I believe that hyper-V administrators will encounter such a problem, install more than one virtual machine, will be a manual activation, if enough virtual machine, this work becomes very cumbersome, but starting from Windows Server R2, it does not need to do so, Microsoft offers a new technology called: Automatic virtual Machine activation VM self-activation (AVMA) technology. As long as your host is a Windows Server R2 datacenter and the host is active, regardless of whether the host license is VL,OEM or retail, any R2 VM running on it will be activated as long as the host host is in the active form. Of course, some early server operating systems also had to be manually activated, such as Windows Server 2008; Windows Server 2008 R2; Windows Server 2012; If technically, it's not a problem to have them automatically activated, from business and technology, perhaps Microsoft wants to make Windows Server R2 faster.
Virtual machine self-activation currently supports the following versions of WindowsServer:
· Windows Server R2datacenter
· Windows Server R2 Standard
· Windows Server r2essentials.
The key to support WindowsServer R2 virtual machine self-activation (AVMA) is as follows:
Windows Server R2 Preview Key:
Windows Server R2 KEY:
So how do you implement WindowsServer R2 virtual machine self-activation (AVMA) technology?
1, install a windowsserver R2 Datacenter host and add the Hyper-V role, and then activate it.
2. Install a windowsserver R2 version of the virtual machine in Hyper-V.
3, in the virtual machine, open the following command:
SLMGR/IPK (AVMA key)
(avma key) = key that is indicated on the table.
Virtual machines can be activated automatically.
The data center administrators can use AVMA to do the following:
1. Remote activation VM
2, online or offline activation VM
3, on the host computer to track the license usage of the VM, without any need for the VM OS level access rights.
No product key needs to be managed or read the sticker on the server's back cover. All VMs are active, and migration in any cluster ensures that their activation status is unchanged. Such management, to be!
