When working in a virtual machine with Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, chances are you are working with a trial version of Windows Server. The Windows trial Server typically comes with a limited evaluation period (e.g., 180 days). This blog explains how you can extend the trial period with the Microsoft Software License Manager Tool.
Login to your virtual machine and start PowerShell. There you can run the Software License Management Tool. Use the following statements:
- slmgr -dlv
- slmgr -rearm
- restart the virtual machine
- slmgr -dli
