    To retrieve your Windows 10 and Windows Server licensing details, you can use the following methods:

    1. Using Slmgr: You can use the command line tool Slmgr to check your licensing information. Open a command prompt and run the following command for basic licensing information: 
         slmgr /dli
      For more detailed licensing information, use: 
         slmgr /dlv
    2. Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC): If you have a Volume Licensing agreement, you can log in to the Volume Licensing Service Center to view your licenses. Make sure you have your credentials ready.
    3. Microsoft Partner Center: If you are a Microsoft partner, you might also access licensing details through the Partner Center.

    If you are having trouble accessing these resources, consider reaching out to your licensing program's assigned indirect provider or Microsoft support for assistance.

    Hello Al Asri Enginneering

    To check licensing details for Windows 10 and Windows Server, you can use built‑in tools rather than relying on portals. On the client side, open an elevated Command Prompt and run slmgr /dli or slmgr /xpr. The /dli switch shows the current license state and partial product key, while /xpr confirms whether the system is permanently activated or has an expiration date. For more detailed information, slmgr /dlv provides the activation ID, installation ID, and license channel.

    On Windows Server, the same commands apply. If you are using Volume Licensing, you can also check activation status with cscript slmgr.vbs /ato to force reactivation, or review the KMS client setup key in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SoftwareProtectionPlatform. For environments managed through Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) or Microsoft 365 Admin Center, you can log in with your organizational account to view license assignments and keys.

    If you previously accessed licensing details through a portal and now feel lost, it’s likely you were using VLSC or the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. VLSC is still the place to retrieve MAK/KMS keys and download media, while the Admin Center shows subscription‑based license assignments. If you are unsure which applies, confirm whether your environment uses perpetual volume licenses or subscription licensing.

    I hope you've found something useful here. If it helps you get more insight into the issue, it's appreciated to accept the answer. Should you have more questions, feel free to leave a message. Have a nice day!

    Harry.
