Check the status of a Windows Server evaluation, understand its limited term and move to a valid license before production depends on it.

Problem

When your Windows Server expires after 180 days (trial), it shuts down automatically. You can reset the license with a single command.

Solution: Reset license

Open Windows PowerShell as Administrator on your server.

Run the following command:

slmgr -rearm

Restart the server. The license will be valid again and the server will no longer stop automatically.

  • Note: This can be done up to 3 times. After that you need a new Windows Server license.
