  • Article

The telephone activation method allows you to talk to a Microsoft customer service representative to complete the activation process. The appropriate telephone number is determined by the country/region that you choose in the Activate Server Wizard and is displayed by the wizard.

Membership in the local Administrators group, or equivalent, on the license server, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
