Product Key Sticker Shows: Windows Server 2012 Std 2 CPU/VM
Need to re-install OS after HD failure. I have downloaded MS Server 2012 STD from Microsoft's WEB site and installed them on the new HD's. When I activate the Product Key that is attached to the server, the activation service reports back that this key is not for the installed OS.
1) Which OS do I need to download/install?
2) From where can I download the ISO?
Thank you,

Followed the steps listed within there: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1019558-download-windows-server-2012-standard
Here is the command that resolved the issue for me:
