Hyper-V licensing

  • 772

I am an it consultant with 40+ years of experience but I am new to virtualization. I have a host server with 2016 standard installed in a datacenter. I used showkeyplus and the key shows as all B's most likely because it is their volume license. I have read that 2016 standard allows 2 virtuals to be activated and that a physical windows 10 can connect to a virtual windows 10 license. I have been able to create the virtual machines with no apparent issues. My question is how do I activate the virtual machines so they don't expire?

Update: I tried using key C3RCX-M6NRP-6CXC9-TW2F2-4RHYD (2016 standard) in the slmgr command and got the following error:

The slui command displayed:

Ideas?
