WHS2011 is OEM and tied to the hardware it was installed on, so that's probably the problem. You could try phoning Microsoft but as WHS is no longer supported, good luck with that!

Hi,
Make sure that your system has configured with correct Time Zone and Date/Time.
If it is OEM version, I would recommend you to contact the hardware/computer manufacturer to confirm with this problem.
Otherwise, you may try to active the system by Phone, or contact Microsoft via phone to confirm that whether the key is available - Global Customer Service phone numbers:
