How do I deactivate a license key for server 2012 r2 essentials

I bought a retail version of server 2012 r2 essentials to upgrade my 2003. I found my software is not compatible with "essentials" and it
is compatible with "Standard". Now I am buying a retail standard edition. My buddy is interested in the "essentials" for his server.

Strange... Server Essentials IS Server with some add ons. What tells you it will not work? Or is support for your program just balking?
As for your bud... let him call MS if it does not activate and explain a hardware failure. They will give him a new key... but it should not be necessary for the second install attempt.

How Do I get a License key for Trial version from the App Store?

I downloaded a Trial version of Aperture 3.1.2 a few weeks ago from the App Store. I love it. Now I want to buy it, but, can't figure out how to get a license key from the App Store. When you start up Aperture Trial version, a 'nag' box comes up asking if you want to buy the application or continue using the trial version or Authorize (I guess that is what you would pick once you have the key). If I pick "Buy", the application opens Safari and takes me to the Apple online store, NOT the App store! At the Apple Store, you can buy the key for $199 or an upgrade from a previous version for $99. Whoopie! What is Apple thinking? The App store is selling Aperture for $79.99. I guess that means you don't get the box or written manuals (which I haven't used for any software in many years).
So how do I get a license key for the App Store version? Do I just Go to the App Store, pay the money, download and install the program over again. Then transfer my trial version library somehow? Then deinstall the trial version? I'd love to buy and use Aperture for $79.99, but, I'm not willing to pay $199 for it. Apple has me confused.
Anybody have a clue?

Thanks for the 1-800 call tip Allen.
P.S. I'm quite willing to put in the time and effort necessary to learn Aperture (or any other software I decide to use, "Pro" or not). I simply don't see the value in buying the box version when I'm pretty sure I won't be using any paper manuals. I very comfortable using online help files, having done so as a professional numerical control programmer for many years in my work. For reference, I'm retired, on a limited income and will be using Aperture as a rank amateur photographer who could use a little more horsepower than iPhoto offers.
I'll call Apple tomorrow.

From english evaluation to dutch full licensed? (Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials)

Hello,
I've installed and evaluated Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials English.
This server edition works like a charm for my smaller projects.
I've been testing this version and I'm at 'Windows License valid for 159 days'.
Now I would like te use this setup for one of my projects, so I would like to transform this evaluation version to a full version.
I bought a full license of Windows Server 2012 R2 ESSENTIALS 1-2 CPU Dutch.
What is the best way to transform my current setup (Evalution - English) completely to a full license Dutch?
- I can buy an english version of this full version, but witch one? (It must be the correct language, because I tried changing the productkey of my evaluation english to the full dutch one, without succes)
- Install from scratch the full version and load a backup of the evalution edition? (Already tried this, this ends up running the english evaluation again)
- Any other suggestion?
Thank you very much!

I think you would have to do a migration.
You should add another Domain Controller, transfer FSMO roles.
Remove the English Essentials Server, then install the Dutch one in Migration mode.
You can then remove that second DC.

Can a 180 trial license of Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials be converted to full use license without uninstalling

Hi,
Is it possible to convert a 180 day trial version Windows Server 2012
R2 Essentials to a full retail license? Or do I have reinstall it again?
I found this information: http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj574204
But it doesn't say anything about Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials.

Is this also true of the WSE 2012 R2 is a domain controller? The TechNet article was pretty clear that if the server is a domain controller, then you cannot convert from trial to retail (though if I read the TechNet article literally, then it looks
like that is only true for WS Standard and Datacenter).
I'm just trying to get a head start on my new server while I wait for WSE 2012 R2 to get delivered in the mail, but I would hate to migrate my DC to the trial server only to have to reinstall again!
Thanks!

Azure backup options for Server 2012 R2 Essentials

Hello,
I have configured a new on-prem HP server for a very small (5 users) non-profit client. This is a single server environment, and they use Office 365 for email. I have already configured AD Sync between the two with dirsync. I have installed the Azure agent,
and imported the certificate, and I am ready to create a backup set.
This is my first experience with Cloud based server backup - I'm used to products like Backup Exec and tape media. What are my options for backing up this server? Can I only do file/folder backup, as it appears?
What would be best practice in this situation, as I need to back up the systems state as well? And then, how to restore it?
All I can think of would be to use Windows Server backup to create a backup of the server, then back that up - but it's so messy, I must be missing something.
Thank you in advance!!

Hi,
You may refer the following link for clear step-by-step procedure on Azure backup:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2014/05/01/configuring-microsoft-azure-online-backup-on-windows-server-2012-r2-essentials.aspx
As of now, you can only backup File & folders(Even entire drive) but you cannot perform System State backups with Azure Backup.
For System State backup, as you mentioned about using WSB and then backing it up to Azure Backup vault may be the only work-around as of now. However, you may vote and provide feedback for this feature in
here.

Licensing options for Server 2012 Standard Edition

I am working a proposal to a new client. Currently they have a single physical server, and 15 workstations, connected to AD;
Server 2012 standard running hyper-V - evaluation (and not attached to the domain)
On it are two virtual machines -
Domain Controller 2008 32bit - license is activated.
2nd server 2008 R2 64bit - evaluation (attached to the domain)
If they purchase a 2012 Server Standard license, with 15 user cals, I should be able to activate the two unlicensed servers?

... If you make the host a domain controller and run Hyper-V you lose your "free" VM instances...
It is my understanding that you lose one of your VM instances, not both. I was led to believe that the purpose of this restriction is to prevent someone from getting a three-for-two deal on licenses, not to lock them out of guest privileges entirely.
but in you instance the host is not licensed and one of the vm's are not licensed so you still need to get a license for the host however you go about it.
This is not quite true as worded. It's true that you have to get a license for the host in general, because Windows Server licenses always apply to a specific piece of hardware, never to a virtual machine. However, it's not necessarily true that you have
to license the management operating system (I think the licensing document calls this the physical OSE, or something like that).
If you have purchased one license of Windows Server Standard 2012 or 2012 R2 non-OEM, then you are licensed to run a maximum of two virtual instances of that same server operating system version/edition or lower on a single host with up to 2 physical CPUs.
You are also allowed to run that same operating system version/edition or lower as the management operating system without purchasing an additional license as long as it runs nothing but Hyper-V Server and services needed manage/maintain its own virtual machines.
If you do anything else in the management OS that provides services to other systems (like ADDS), then one of the guest licensing privileges is lost to cover the management OS. Any OEM licensing may have its own restrictions.
For licensing questions, it is always best to contact an authorized Microsoft reseller and ask to speak to a licensing expert. They go through training specifically for this. The call is usually free. The fines for license violations most
certainly are not. "Read it on a forum" is not good audit defense.

How do I enter my license key for QT pro

My computer contracted a virus. I had to reformat the hard drive. I downloaded QT. I purchased QT pro previously. How do I redownload without rebuying?

You should be able to download and install QT 7 and then, under QT Menu, choose Registration and enter your code there and then quit and relaunch. That is all I did and it changed from QT to QT Pro.

How do I check license key for my copy of CS4?

With the recent announcement of the new upgrade policy and the issues I have read about regarding upgrade copies of Photoshop
puchased through Amazon, how can I verify my license key for my copy of CS4 that I purchased from Amazon will accept an upgrade
copy of CS5. My copy was not purchased through Marketplace.
Thanks,
JAH

Chances are, if the software activated successfully your serial number will be accepted in the upgrade process, but I believe you have to call Adobe customer support to verify it for certain.

MS Security Essentials for Server 2012 R2

I've had MS Security Essentials installed on my Server 2008 R2 Foundation, but now that I've upgraded to 2012 R2 Foundation, MS Security Essentials won't install. It gives an error message saying that it won't run on this computer.
I've searched for a replacement, but my searches yield ONLY results for Server 2012 R2 Essentials, and NOT Security Essentials. Is there a replacement for MS Security Essentials, and if so, how/where can I find it???
Capt. Dinosaur

Hi,
I agree with Ed that Microsoft Security Essentials is designed for client machines.
I have seen forum threads that indicating it is running well on Windows 2008 machines, still, it is not supported.
Here are some references below for you:
