    It depends on how you purchase the product, in case you purchase it from OEM like DELL, IBM , etc. The product key should be on the server and in case, you directly purchase it from Microsoft , it should be in the Microsoft website. You will need to find out where did you purchase it and who provides you the support and it is not only to reinstall Windows but also to request for support.

    Hello

    If it is a retail license, the product key issue need to seek help from vendor. If you are using volume licensing, the product key can be checked in below website if it is phurchased from Microsoft directly, otherwise you need to contact the license saler or provider. You can also try downlaod previous Windows ISO via below link: Volume Licensing Service Center (microsoft.com) However, it is also important that Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 will end on October 10, 2023. Here is the detailed information: Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 reaching end of support - Microsoft Lifecycle | Microsoft Learn   Best Regards, Wesley Li
