Hello @fedupwithit
WHS 2011 was a fairly reliable home server built on Server 2008 R2. For a Windows operating system (especially a server OS), it was extremely cheap at launch (just $99 for up to 10 clients). However, it has since been discontinued. And therefore no license keys being generated in the future. If you find that you still need a home server, you'll need to shell out some money on a Server Essentials OS. Otherwise, most people could just get by with using Windows 10 these days.
Windows Home Server 2011 will remain available as an OEM embedded product until December 31, 2025, and will remain available in all other current channels until December 31, 2013
Best Regards
Karlie
