Computers that are running volume licensed editions of Windows Server, Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008 are, by default, KMS clients with no additional configuration needed.
I had tor reload my 2012 R2 Essentials server from scratch. This is an Lenovo TS140 purchased from Tiger Direct in 2015. It was OEM with Essentials 2012 R2 pre-installed. My documentation packet did not contain a product key, there is nothing on the recovery CD, and it is not printed on my invoice, so I ran a key finder to get it.
In the tables that follow, 'LTSC' stands for 'Long-Term Servicing Channel,' while 'LTSB' refers to the 'Long-Term Servicing Branch.'
To use the keys listed here (which are GVLKs), you must first have a KMS hostrunning in your deployment. If you haven't already configured a KMS host, seeDeploy KMS Activation for steps to set one up.
If you are converting a computer from a KMS host, MAK, or retail edition ofWindows to a KMS client, install the applicable setup key (GVLK) from thefollowing tables. To install a client setup key, open an administrative commandprompt on the client, type slmgr /ipk <setup key> and then press Enter.
If you want to…

Activate Windows outside of a volume-activation scenario (that is, you're trying to activate a retail version of Windows), these keys will not work.
Use these links for retail versions of Windows:
Fix this error that you get when you try to activate a Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 or newer system: “Error: 0xC004F050 The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid”…
Install this update on the KMS host if it is running Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, or Windows Server 2012.
If you are running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7, be on the lookoutfor an update to support using those as KMS hosts for Windows 10 clients.
