      great, i run the script and it shows me the key, incredible
      thank you very much dear @JaredBusch

      Still does not mean your key is valid or not. that is different. But now you at least have the informaiton available.

      what can make it not valid ?? the P is working with the same key ! and it is activated

        At the time the key was valid, but if Microsoft discovers that the key used on your server was also used on 100's of other servers, they will add the key to a black list and no new servers can activate with that key.

          once you have the key, you could search google and see if anything comes up on that key. MS sometimes releases blog posts about keys they have killed due to piracy.

          take the last 4 sections of the key and put it into google and see if you get any results that match your full key.

                    Yeah, if the machine won't automatically re authenticate, you're out of luck.

                    but you should still try.

                      summary: i will P2V, shutdown the P, move the V to a hypervisor, start the VM, in this stage 2 possible situation can occur :
                      1- the VM reauthorize itself automatically
                      2- enter the key (which was retrieved from the P) and submit it (the activation can succeed or fail)
                      in case of activation fail, delete the V, start the P and forget about virtualization

                      i'm right with this summary ????

                        Looks good to me.. though what do you mean move the V to the hypervisor? Normally the P2V tools do that for you, at least they do with ESXi, don't know about Hyper-V or XenServer

                          i mean by that after virtualizing the P, it will gave me a VM, then i will import the VM to my Xenserver
                          as far as i'm concerned VMware vCenter Converter who perform the P2V, is there any other tool that import the VM directly from the P to XenServer ??

                            You can't use VMWare's tool to create the VM. You have to use Xen's tool to create the image.

                            @DustinB3403 - Help!

                                  So with XenServer (and specifically NAUBackup) the files that are created are VM_Name.xva which are specific to Xen.

                                  The other hypervisors I'm uncertain of what they create.

                                  Sorry I can't be more help.

                                    Can you explain the P2V process for XenServer?

                                      Well its not P2V for XenServer.

                                      It's P2V for what ever server OS your using.

                                      We've used and had success with VMWare's P2V tool to an open format. Which is usable on XenServer.

                                      We didn't have much luck with XenServers P2V tool on XenServer oddly. Generally the recommendation is to just build a new VM server, reinstall your applications, and move any required files onto it.

                                        Sure, but it's likely @IT-ADMIN can't do that because of his licensing issue. So doing an actual P2V is kinda important here.

                                          The P2V process is dependent on the OS he's using.

                                          I'd recommend trying VMWare's P2V Tool first to build an .OVA and import that into XenServer. (Or whatever his hypervisor is)

                                            why there is such limitation, is it because i'm using xenserver ??
                                            what about using Hyper-v or ESXI, does the P2V would be easier ???
