You can use DIM to verify if you are using Windows Server Evaluation edition. Run an elevated command prompt and execute the command:
DISM /online /Get-CurrentEdition
As you can see, the Current Edition line indicates that the current Windows version is — ServerStandartEval.
Get the list of Windows Server editions to which you can upgrade your current Eval edition:

As you can see, the current ServerStandardEval edition has been upgraded to the following Windows Server 2016 / Windows Server 2019 editions: ServerDatacenter or ServerStandard.
Upgrade Restrictions for Windows Server Evaluation
Here are some upgrade restrictions that you need to know before converting Windows Server Evaluation to the full edition:
- You can convert only the full GUI version of Windows Server. Server Core or Nano Server can’t be converted this way;
- You cannot upgrade a server with a domain controller role (Active Directory Domain Services role). You must demote the DC and uninstall this role first;
- It is unable to upgrade from the Windows Server Eval Datacenter to Windows Server Standard Full.
Windows Server 2016: Converting Evaluation to Licensed Version
To upgrade Windows Server Evaluation to a full version, you need to use a public KMS (GVLK) key for Windows Server 2016. The conversion is performed via the command prompt using DISM. For example, to upgrade your Eval edition to the Retail version of Windows Server 2016 Standard, use the command:
dism /online /set-edition:ServerStandard /productkey:WC2BQ-8NRM3-FDDYY-2BFGV-KHKQY /accepteula
If you specify your retail or MAK key instead of a public GVLK key in the DISM command, an error will appear:
Error 1168
The specified product key could not be validated.
Check that the specified product key is valid and that it matches the target edition.
Some users complain that sometimes when you run a DISM /set-edition command, it hangs by 10%. In this case, we recommend you find and stop the Software Protection Service and disable Internet access (you can even disconnect the Ethernet cable from the LAN).
Note. To upgrade Windows Server 2016 Eval to Datacenter edition, you need to use another GVLK key. The command will look like this:
DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerDatacenter /ProductKey:CB7KF-BWN84-R7R2Y-793K2-8XDDG /AcceptEula
After you run this command, wait for the message Command completed successfully (in some cases it may take several hours!!!). After that restart your server and make sure you have a full Standard edition installed.
winver.exe
If a KMS server is deployed in your local network, you can use it to activate your Windows Server OS with the following commands:
slmgr /ipk WC2BQ-8NRM3-FDDYY-2BFGV-KHKQY (it is a GVLK key for Windows Server 2016 Standart, another product key is used for Datacenter, it is listed above)slmgr /ato
If there is no KMS server, you can specify your MAK or Retail product key for Windows Server and activate the OS as usual: via the Internet or by phone.
Windows Server 2019: Upgrading Evaluation to Full Version
To convert Windows Server 2019 EVAL to a full edition, you need to use the GVLK (KMS) keys for Windows Server 2019. You can upgrade Windows Server 2019 edition the same way.
Convert Windows Server 2019 Evaluation to Windows Server 2019 Standard:
dism /online /set-edition:ServerStandard /productkey:N69G4-B89J2-4G8F4-WWYCC-J464C /accepteula
Convert Windows Server 2019 Evaluation to Windows Server 2019 Datacenter edition:
dism /online /set-edition:ServerDatacenter /productkey:WMDGN-G9PQG-XVVXX-R3X43-63DFG /accepteula
