Windows 2008 Core server does not support GUI and right clicking your computer and use the control panel options to activate the server is not available anymore. Copy the script below and supply your own license key code. Open notepad from command prompt. Eg notepad license.cmd; paste the the code below with your own key; save the file and run the cmd script.
