You can activate Windows Server 2008 Standard and R2 using a separately purchased license key or for free by using a special application — an activator. In the step-by-step instructions below, we will consider the second option and offer users to download the latest version of KMSAuto Net, relevant for 2025.
Let’s look at a specific example showing how to use a special activator to get a fully licensed version of Windows Server 2008 for free:
- Download the archive and extract its contents. Any archiver will do for this. Run the program by double-clicking on the executable file.
Download KMSAuto Net Portable v1.5.4
Archive password: 12345
Remember one more important point: any activators are perceived by the Microsoft operating system and its antivirus as malicious software. It is better to temporarily disable your antivirus before unpacking.
