Activating Sever 2016

[Ish]

Hi

I help out a local community centre. I installed Server 2016 on the server and set it all back up. Everything is working fine apart from I can't activate Windows. I have a valid MAK key.

When I go to the activation screen and click change product key nothing happens. If I click troubleshoot nothing happens either.

What could the problem be? I have uploaded a pic HERE

Got it working with this method

1. click START (gets you to the tiles)
2. type RUN
3. type slui 3 and press ENTER
   1. yes, SLUI: which stands for SOFTWARE LICENSING USER INTERFACE
   2. SLUI 1 brings up the activation status window
   3. SLUI 2 brings up the activation window
   4. SLUI 3 brings up the CHANGE PRODUCT KEY window
   5. SLUI 4 brings up the CALL MICROSOFT & MANUALLY ACTIVATE window
