Activate Windows from command line



How to activate Windows from command line?

If you have decided to convert an evaluation Windows server (Windows 2016 or other server version), or Windows 10 to a license Operating system then you need to replace the product key.
You will need to change the product key and activate the system, in order to use the product outside of its evaluation period.

Assuming you have done the steps of converting the evaluation software and all the evaluation packages has been removed. Of course, if you have plenty of time in your hands and you just want to redo everything then you can just install or setup a new environment.

To activate a new product key from command line, first the product key must be installed and replaced the existing one. Second, activate the product key.

Here’s how to do it via command line:

a. slmgr /ipk windows-product-key-with-slashes

/ipk = installed product key
windows-product-key-with-slashes – replace this with the actual windows product key

If everything goes well there will be a pop-up message notifying that the operation was successful.

b. slmgr /ato

Just type the above command to activate the newly installed product key, if everything goes well then a pop-up message will appear to notify that activation was successful and also the watermark for the evaluation will be removed.

/ato – most probably this means activate online
Slmgr /ato – should be done while the machine is online.
Till next time. Cheers~!

    Microsoft word is word processing software. The WINWORD EXE Application Error in Windows 10 is a common error affecting users using MS Office. This frustrating error can shut down or suspend your work unexpectedly. You need to make sure you have the latest Windows 10 updates.
