We are 15 days away from our 180 day trial ending and have bought an OEM licence from ebuyer.com
The licence we have been supplied is for Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2 Essentials 1-2 CPU for OEM Software.
The version installed on the server according to the system properties is Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
All attempts at applying the purchased licence have returned the following error:"We couldn't verify this key, so try a different one."
My thinking is that the difference is in this licence being R2 and the trial just being for 'essentials', but perhaps its something else entirely?
Could someone please advise on our best way forward?
