thanks for helping

I am unable to upgrade the evaluation version to standard core.


E:\sources>Dism /Online /Get-CurrentEdition

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17763.1

Image Version: 10.0.17763.1098

Current edition is:

Current Edition : ServerStandardEvalCor

The operation completed successfully.


E:\sources>Dism /Online /Get-TargetEditions

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17763.1

Image Version: 10.0.17763.1098

Editions that can be upgraded to:

Target Edition : ServerDatacenterCor

The operation completed successfully.


Here we only see that an upgrade to the DataCenter Verion is possible. However, an upgrade to ServerStandardCor is not possible.

I never had this problem to activate the standard license on server with gui (desktop experience). How can I activate my server core?

is there any way to be able to upgrade to ServerStandardCor

i have tried to used dism /online /set-edition:ServerStandard /productkey:N69G4-B89J2-4G8F4-WWYCC-J464C /accepteula but get


Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17763.1

Image Version: 10.0.17763.737

Error: 50

This Windows image cannot upgrade to the edition of Windows that was specified. The upgrade cannot proceed.
Run the /Get-TargetEditions option to see what edition of Windows you can upgrade to.



i have also tried the slmgr /ipk XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX replacing the X with my serverstandardcor key but this has not worked ether

thanks for you help

What roles have been installed? Hopefully it is not a domain controller. A domain controller cannot be converted from evaluation to full.

Hyper-v and fallover clustering are the only services being used at this time

Might stand up a new one, patch fully then try again before adding any roles, etc.

unfortunately don't have spare hardware build anything at present and currently in lockdown so cant get much ether

is there anyway to add the serverstandardcor into the available target list

on the other fallover cluster server we are having the same issue with trying to upgrade the license from serverstandardevelcor to serverstandadcor
the trouble with this server is it has some how lost its evaluation license so is currently shutting down after an hour (i assume this is because it doesn't have a valid license installed) is there any way to install another evaluation license to get this machine up and running until the we can get the other issue resolved

Sounds like you may need to clean install it. This time I'd suggest patching it fully, then license it before adding roles or configuration.

defiantly the last resort as all items are on a remote site and we will need to keep the site up and running

I doubt there is another option but you can start a case here with product support.
