How to retrive Windows Server 2019 standard Serial from "Microsoft Open License Purchase Order Confirmation"

Sathishkumar K 20

Hi, Our Windows Server 2019 Standard machine was infected with ransomware, and I had to restore an older system backup that was taken 4 years ago. That backup was from Windows Server 2019 Essentials, taken before we upgraded it to Standard.

Now the restored machine is running Windows Server 2019 Essentials, and I need to update/activate it with our Standard edition license.

I have the Microsoft Open License Purchase Order Confirmation with the Authorization Number and License Number, but our VLSC access has expired. Is there any way to retrieve the product key?

Hello,

Since your VLSC access has expired, but you possess the valid Authorization Number and License Number, you must contact the Microsoft Volume Licensing Support Center directly via phone for your specific region. Provide the support agent with your Authorization and License numbers. They are the only ones authorized to verify your ownership manually and generate or retrieve the specific Product Key for you without VLSC portal access.

You can find the up-to-date regional phone number by using a search engine to look for: "[Your Country/Region] Microsoft Volume Licensing Support Phone Number".

I am happy to follow up if you encounter any errors during execution.
