In this post we mentioned the detailed instruction on how to activate Windows Server for totally free with a legal KMS client key a month ago. However, there are a lot of people left comments or sent me emails saying that they had a problem in following my instruction. As I replied at that time, Windows Server you got from Microsoft homepage is evaluation version and it has been attached 180-day trial license. As a result, you can not install another key on your machine, in this case, KMS client key. For that reason, today I will show you how to convert the evaluation version to the retail one.

How to Upgrade Windows Server 2019 Evaluation to Full Version
Follow the steps: Convert windows server 2019 to full edition
- Determine your edition of Windows you are using. Open the command prompt as administrator then execute this command.
dism /online /get-currentedition
In this case, I am using Windows Server 2019 Standard Evaluation. - List the editions that you can convert your one to. Run the following command.
dism /online /get-targeteditions
As you can see, I can convert my OS to the retail version of the Standard edition or upgrade it to the Datacenter one. - Convert your Windows to the edition you want. Execute the command below to start a conversion process.
dism /online /set-edition:<-Edition-> /productkey:X-X-X-X-X /accepteula
“<-Edition->” and “X-X-X-X-X” are the version of Windows you want to convert to in the 2nd step and the correlative KMS client key.
Here is the list of all product keys.
I just want to make a conversion, not an upgrade so the above command is.
dism /online /set-edition:serverstandard /productkey:N69G4-B89J2-4G8F4-WWYCC-J464C /accepteula
- Restart your machine then check the properties again. After completing the 3rd step, you will be asked to reboot your server. Just answer ‘Y’.
