Could not activate Windows License on server in Azure

Written by paris on December 4, 2020. Posted in Research

Recently we had moved some onpremise Server 2016 machines to Azure using ASR. When trying to activate them using the Microsoft steps

cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /dlv
cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk WC2BQ-8NRM3-FDDYY-2BFGV-KHKQY
cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato

It did not work, we had to use Automatic Virtual Machine Activation (AVMA)

slmgr /ipk C3RCX-M6NRP-6CXC9-TW2F2-4RHYD
