If it is Server 2019 kind of system.

This can be worked around by using two DISM commands.

Open an elevated command prompt, and type (or copy) **DISM.exe /Online /Get-TargetEditions**

Then enter **DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:ENTER-YOUR-SERIAL-KEY-HERE /AcceptEula**

It may get stuck on the 10% mark for a few minutes, but after that it will proceed and install the key. The machine will then require a reboot and be activated.

## Good luck! 👍

You cannot use slmgr command to install product key(Retail or VLSC MAK key) to evaluation edition server, you will get error message “Error:0xC004F069 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition….”

- You need a Retail product key and use DISM command to upgrade Edition from evaluation edition to standard (or Datacenter) edition

In case you try activating evaluation version of Windows server 2016 if trying above steps you’ll get following error:

Error: 0xC004F069 On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run ‘slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F069’ to display the error text.

In this case run following commands:

Find available target editions

1 `DISM.exe /Online /` `Get-TargetEditions`

Change your target edition (bellow is example for Windows server 2016 datacenter)

1 `DISM /online /` `Set-Edition` `:ServerStandard /ProductKey:WC2BQ-8NRM3-FDDYY-2BFGV-KHKQY /AcceptEula`

Reboot server, repeat above steps and you should be good to go! 🙂
