Good Evening,

I am a student studying Computer Information Systems. I have acquired an educational license from Microsoft for Windows Server 2016 and i am trying to use Teamviewer for it and an Ubuntu VM and a few other laptops in the house. The Windows Server is the only one that is expiring. I have found a few places saying to run compatability but most of those posts were in 2012. I did attempt it but it still came back saying it was expired. I am willing to wipe the server and start over but i want to make sure i install it correctly in Normal Personal and not Commercial use. Can i get some help on this? I submitted a ticket but they said it takes 30 days for anyone to get back for free use. 

 

 

Thanks, 

 

Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Please see this Knowledge Base article for further reference about the usage on Server OS.

    I appreciate the link. I requested this once and heard nothing back. I did it again just this morning. Is there a way to check my request satus?

    Hi again,

    I am afraid that sending the request to change the status for a server OS will not help since a Windows Server operating system will always be classified  as commercial usage automatically.

    You have to use a regular operating system, if you do not have a TeamViewer license.

    All the best, Esther
