Windows Server 2022 Product Key
Good Morning everyone! I am new to using Server Insider builds, (i have used normal Win10 builds for many years) just wondering where i could find & use a product key to activate Windows Server 2...
Hi JayTechTips,
You could use the following KMS keys for installing Windows server 2022 v10.0.20344.1
Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: WX4NM-KYWYW-QJJR4-XV3QB-6VM33
Windows Server 2022 Standard: VDYBN-27WPP-V4HQT-9VMD4-VMK7H
Please remember that these keys are KMS keys and you would need KMS activation server setup at your end for activating your Windows Server 2022 install. Else you would be able to move past the setup key screen while installing the server but WILL NOT be able to activate Windows Server 2022 after install. This is because the build 20344.1 is a production signed build.
Hope this helps.Key source: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/kmsclientkeys#windows-server-2022

Activation thru product key works only with VALID product key (which u said u dont have).....
Also this is a Windows Server thread so Win 10 questions might not be allowed here so refrain from asking question in an incorrect thread, else thread moderators could remove your question altogether.

chinchin85 It's not that questions about other products aren't allowed as much as we want to make sure that your questions get routed to the right teams, so if we see a post that is for a different product, we attempt to move it to the right forum to be addressed. Thanks for your feedback.
Thanks Mary, will keep this in mind for future queries.
Few questions from my end: Server 2022 branch 22463.xxxx Preview is to expire in March 2022.
Does it mean that Server 2022 branch 22463.xxx RTM would be around April-May 2022 (as in 22H1) ? Or are these just my assumptions ?
Would it be advisable to move to Server 2022 branch 20348 now assuming a newer version 22463 would be released in April-May 2022, if at all ?
