ESXi 8.0 Windows Product key not working after migration Windows 2012 R2 Standart to the VM

Hi friends,

I converted a physical Windows Server 212 R2 Standard server to an ESXi 8.0 environment using VMWare Converter 6.3. 
 
After the migration is complete, you must enter the product key to reactivate Windows. Unfortunately, my product key is now not working and Windows is telling me that my product key not much. I have not had a problem with any other Windows Server, only with one. My product key is correct, I have checked it twice.
 
Do you have any advice?
 
Thank you very much.
Jindrich

I think you need to talk with Microsoft or whoever you got the product key from.
