Replacing Win 2008 webserver product key after creating VM

$

Windows is demanding I enter original key (which I don't have) before I can I enter my own product key 

See the steps below how I got to this stage:

1. I created a Virtual Machine of my webserver using VMware.

2. I moved the VM to a new host OVH.com

3. Windows Activation was required, but I did not have the product key

4. I googled and found this command to clear the old key slmgr.vbs -ckms

5. I did not realise that I needed the old key to activate and then I could add my own key

6. I tried to retrieve the original key using 'magic jelly bean' but without success.


Now I am having problems with the license and it is saying my windows is not genuine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried Microsoft but they are asking for £199 to open up a support case?

Thanks in advance

Atif
