Windows 2025 HyperV install & adding serial number
We purchased a Dell server with Win 2025 datacenter version which entitles us to unlimited HyperV VMs. The OS was preinstalled and did not come with an ISO for installing HyperV VMs. I tried the ISO for the system from my Dell Digital locker but that version cannot be used for HyperV installations. I downloaded the Microsoft freely available evaluation ISO and that installed fine. Now I'm trying to add a serial number to make the VM production but the serial number on the the sticker on server does not work. I used various commands: slmgr /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX and dism /online /Set-Edition:datacenter /ProductKey:YOUR-KEY-HERE /AcceptEula. What serial number do I use or what is the process to make the VM use a legit serial number??
