Root Cause

User Access Control (UAC) is preventing the key to be read properly by the application. Setting UAC to "never notify" does not fully disable the feature in Windows Server 2012.

Resolution

  1. Open the Registry Editor by navigating to Start > Run > type regedit
  2. Navigate to the following file folder: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\system
  3. Change EnableLUA from '1' to 0 to disable UAC.
  4. Reboot the server.

Confirmation

The License Key with SR140 flag is recognized successfully in Windows Server 2012.

Additional Information

Refer to Windows Server 2012: Deactivating UAC.
