Windows Cannot find Microsoft software license terms - During Server 2016 install
I am getting the following error when trying to install Server 2016 Standard. Any idea of the fix?
It's possible the media is corrupt in which case I'd try downloading from another location to avoid the same copy ISP has cached on their systems. I've also seen this with HP intelligent provisioning in which case I'd ask HP about a newer version of tool compatible with server 2016. Also some hypervisors such as VMWare add an additional floppy drive that causes install media to look for licensing on floppy, in this case remove the virtual floppy from guest and try again. Also try;
Bypassing Easy Install
- First start VMware Workstation
- Create A New Virtual Machine
- Select the option “I will install the operating system later”
- Then your new virtual machine will be added to your virtual library.
- Double click on your new Virtual Machine to start it.
- Then it will prompt that an OS is not installed and provide an option to insert the OS installation media.
- Simply click on Change CD/DVD Settings to select your ISO media then Restart VM.
I just want to add you get this with a VMware automated install, it can't acknowledge the terms and conditions, so produces this message.
