Hello - we recently upgraded a Windows 2003 server to Windows 2008 Server, and are having trouble activating it. &nbsp;We bought a single license for it, but it did not ask for the license key during the upgrade, and now it is complaining it cannot activate due to not being able to find a KMS server on the network, and there is no where I can see to put in out product key. &nbsp;Not sure what to do for this scenario, and any help would be appreciated. &nbsp;Thank you!
