A cursory googling made it clear that this hoster provides only a server system from the windows-family for monthly rent. It is required to install and use Windows XP (say, a boxed version bought honestly from a partner). The technical side of the implementation is not important. Legal question: you need to provide a license. documents before installation, so as not to fall under a hot hand and lose your account? And is there such a possibility at all? Thanks in advance

There is a possibility, we put the eight in this way - we sent them a scan of the license.

Yes, shit to everyone there on your legal issues, the hatzner does not climb into your servers and does not check that everything is legal there, if there is any request from microsoftware, just provide the license data and nothing more.
There are a bunch of servers with different windows, including xp.

Duc raise kvm, or whatever you know how to do there, and use what you want.

We take LARA, an ISO image of what we want to install there and install it.
We have Windows Server 2012, no one asked for a license.
