This file includes the following Windows Server 2008 R2 editions: Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter and Web.

Windows Server 2008 R2 VL Build is designed to be activated with Key Management Service (KMS) by default. In order to activate using the Multiple Activation Key (MAK), you will need to follow these steps after installation completes:

1. Go to Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Choose System and Security
4. Choose System
5. At the bottom is Windows activation
6. Click Change product key (do not select automatic activation as this is the KMS option)
7. Use the appropriate MAK key for your installed version (Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web)
8. Click Next
9. After a minute you should see the Activation was successful confirmation

If you try to activate without changing KMS to MAK, you will receive this error message:
