where can I find my operating system licenses

To find your operating system licenses for deploying Windows Server 2025, you can use the following methods:

1. Check Existing Licenses: If you have existing licenses for Windows Server, you can verify them through your Microsoft Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC) account, where you can view your license agreements and product keys.
2. KMS Client Product Keys: For Windows Server 2025, you can use the KMS client product keys provided by Microsoft for activation. Here are the keys for Windows Server 2025:
   • Windows Server 2025 Standard: TVRH6-WHNXV-R9WG3-9XRFY-MY832
   • Windows Server 2025 Datacenter: D764K-2NDRG-47T6Q-P8T8W-YP6DF
   • Windows Server 2025 Datacenter: Azure Edition: XGN3F-F394H-FD2MY-PP6FD-8MCRC
3. Use Slmgr Tool: You can also use the slmgr command to check the activation status and licensing information of your Windows Server installations. Open a command prompt and run:

      slmgr /dli
   

   This will provide you with basic licensing information.
4. Contact Microsoft Support: If you are unable to find your licenses, consider reaching out to Microsoft Support for assistance with your licensing inquiries.

By using these methods, you should be able to locate your operating system licenses effectively.

Hi Corrente, Chris,

Typically, licenses are managed through the VLSC if your organization has a volume licensing agreement. From there, you can log in with your Microsoft account to view, download, and manage all available product keys and license entitlements. If you purchased through a cloud subscription such as Azure or Microsoft 365, you can also find license details in the Services Hub or the Azure portal under your subscription resources.

For retail or OEM purchases, the product key is usually provided with the physical media, confirmation email, or inside your Microsoft account under “Order History”.

If you encounter any issues accessing your licenses, I recommend contacting your Microsoft Licensing Support representative for assistance.

I hope this helps you locate the right licenses for your upcoming deployments. If this guidance resolves your question, please hit “Accept Answer” so I know it was useful!
