I HAVE 2 DELL SERVERS MY WORK SERVER WOULD NOT BOOT TO ANYTHING BUT SAFE MODE. I WANTED TO BOOT TO DIRECTORY RESTORE MODE TO CARRY OUT RESTORE FROM SCSI TAPE BACKUP BUT IT KEPT HANGING DURING APPLYING COMPUTER SETTINGS.
SO I USED MY OTHER HOME SERVER RETAIL SETUP DISC TO REPAIR INSTALATION AS OEM DELL DISC DOES NOT SEEM TO ALLOW REPAIR OPTION JUST REINSTALATION, ANYWAY THE PROBLEM I HAVE NOW IS THAT IT BOOTS IT WONT LOGIN WITHOUT ACTIVATING. I CANT ACTIVATE IT AS MY HOME SERVER NEEDS ACTIVATING IN 20 DAYS .

WHAT CAN I DO TO GET ORIGINAL PRODUCT KEY BACK TO WORK SERVER WITHOUT A CLEAN INSTALL.?
IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET TEMP ACTIVATION FROM MICROSOFT?

I DONT HAVE ASR BACKUP, AND NEED TO RESTORE SHAREPOINT SITES AND LAST TIME I DIS CLEAN INSTALL I WAS UNABLE TO RESTORED SHAREPOINT SITS DUE TO SECURITY SETTINGS BEING DIFFERENT TO PREVIOUS INSTALL..
