Microsoft Evaluation and KMS Product Key Series
Following on from our previous posts about Windows Server 2008 R2 evaluation keys and Windows Server 2012 R2 Evaluation Product Keys, we thought we should bring things up to date with Windows Server 2016.
If you are trying to evaluate Windows Server 2016 then you will need to activate the software once you have completed the installation. To do this you need an evaluation product key which will give you 180 days of usage. You can use the product key below:
NCPR7-K6YH2-BRXYM-QMPPQ-3PF6X
Once your 180 days of evaluation is up, you can actually then re-arm the evaluation for another 180 days and you can do this up to five times. Just open an elevated command prompt and run the following command:
slmgr.vbs -rearm
This should then rearm and allow you to carry on with your evaluation.

If the above fails, you can also try the other evaluation product keys available below:

Command line Product Key Installation
If you would like to use a command line to apply your evaluation product keys, for instance if you are using it in a System Center Configuration Manager environment, then you can use the following command:
