New unused Microsoft Windows Server 2025 Standard OEM key unreadable damaged

If your Microsoft Windows Server 2025 Standard OEM key is damaged and unreadable, you may need to consider a few options:

1. Contact the Vendor: Reach out to the retailer or vendor from whom you purchased the OEM key. They may have policies in place for replacing damaged keys, especially if you can provide proof of purchase.
2. Microsoft Support: You can contact Microsoft support for assistance. They may be able to help you verify your purchase and provide a replacement key if you can prove ownership.
3. Documentation: Keep any documentation related to your purchase, such as receipts or invoices, as this can help in your discussions with the vendor or Microsoft support.
4. Check for Backup: If you have any backup of the product key (like in an email confirmation), check there as well.

Unfortunately, if the key is irretrievably damaged and you cannot get a replacement, you may need to purchase a new license.
