Activating EBS

When activating from a evaluation EULA, EBS is activated the same as Windows Server. 

To enter in the key all you need to do is;

  1. Make sure you have the keys for EBS.  You should have one for each Server role, Management, Messaging and Security.  You’ll also need CALs either device or user CALs to suit your organization.
  2. Ensure you have your internet connection correctly setup
