All our installations of Windows Server are genuine, with genuine licences fully set up by Microsoft.
However, if the Microsoft Activation Server was not responding when your server was first set up, you may get a warning that your Windows Server is not genuine.
You can manually activate your copy of Windows Server to solve this problem.
If you are still having difficulty with activating Windows, please raise a ticket with the Customer Services team.
