Volume Activation by Rutgers

NOTE: Windows Server licenses purchased on the new Software Portal will not be available from the Windows Activator until we can issue a software update.

    • Windows Server 2008
    • Windows Server 2008 R2
    • Windows Server 2012
    • Microsoft Office 2010
    • Microsoft Office 2013
  • Deactivation of Windows to recover activation tokens.
  • Exportation of anonymous machine identity strings.
  • Verbose message window that provides more information than previous utilities.

Windows Server Activator

Windows Server follows a similar activation mechanism to Windows Vista. However, with Windows Server activation, a Key Management Service is not provided. All activations are done via Multiple Activation Key (MAK).

Either the Simple Activator or the Core Activator can be used to activate Windows Server.

Please visit the Windows Server Activator page for more information.
