# Activate Windows Server Using The Command Line

Activating the Windows license using the CMD command line is extremely easy

The first step will be to  **open the CMD command console** , to do so you have to open the  **Windows search engine**  and type the word  **CMD** .

Once the program is open, access with  **administrator permissions by**  clicking the right mouse button and choosing the corresponding option.

Then you must type the following command:

- **slmgr / ipk XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX**  (here is the product key)

Once you have written the commands, you will see that three different windows will open in which you can see the progress of the activation.

 

When the process is complete, close the **Windows** window   and it  **will automatically be activated** . To check that everything was done correctly, you can  **verify from the control panel**  or by opening the console again.
