1) I can’t find my order / delivery email

First, check your spam/junk folder and search your inbox for “SoftwareLicense4U” or your order total. If you used an alternate email at checkout, search that inbox too.

Confirm product edition (Home/Pro, Standard/Datacenter, etc.)

Run installers as Administrator when required

3) Activation failed / key not working

Activation messages are usually caused by edition mismatches, typing mistakes, or attempting activation on an unsupported setup. We’ll help you verify what’s installed and what your license supports.

Copy/paste the key (avoid missing characters)
Send the exact activation error text or screenshot

Advanced: Windows Server conversion help (DISM)

If you installed a Windows Server Evaluation edition, it may be possible to convert it to a full edition using DISM (without reinstalling) when you have a valid key for the target edition. If you’re unsure, open a ticket and we’ll advise based on your order.

Step 1: Verify current edition

Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

DISM /Online /Get-CurrentEdition

This displays the current edition (for example, ServerStandardEval).

Step 2: Check target editions

To see which editions you can upgrade to:

DISM /Online /Get-TargetEditions

You’ll typically see targets like ServerStandard and/or ServerDatacenter.

Step 3: Confirm you have the correct key

You need a valid product key for the target edition you want to convert to (for example, Standard or Datacenter).

Tip If you’re not sure which edition you purchased, include your order number in your ticket.

Step 4: Run the conversion command

Replace TargetEdition and the key with your values:

DISM /Online /Set-Edition:TargetEdition /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /AcceptEula

Restart when prompted, then verify the edition and activation status.
