To reactivate a Windows Server 2012 R2, you typically need a valid product key. These keys can sometimes be found through Microsoft partner-HypestKey

Since you're using volume license product keys you should have also used volume center download so the channels line up. As a work around you can try using kms keys as intermediate step.

(below assumes 2012 R2 Standard)

Dism /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /AcceptEula /ProductKey:D2N9P-3P6X9-2R39C-7RTCD-MDVJX

then after reboot

(below using your volume product key)

slmgr /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
slmgr /ato
