Hi,
Before I start, here is some facts that might impact why it's not working and help the troubleshoot:
This server is running as a virtual machine inside XCP-NG
The evaluation period has expired.
There are pending updates but they also fail to install (and I though this might be due to the fact that it's not activated)
This machine is not a domain controller
The "Windows License Manager Service" is running
So I've tried to convert this evaluation setup using this handy guide : https://4sysops.com/archives/convert-windows-server-2019-evaluation-to-the-retail-edition
However the process got stuck at 10% and then the server restart automatically (presumably because it now shut down every 1h)
I thought maybe we can't migrate expired evaluation version, so I've setup a brand new server, did all the updates and ran the same command.
This time the process did complete, but upon restart when prompted the server is still showing up as unlicensed....
I'm running out of options so any help would be appreciated.
I've also looked at getting support from Microsoft directly but I can't find out how to contact them.
