we have a physical 2019 SQL standard installed(evaluation version) while securing licenses. We are needing to install 8 core licenses, but they do not have keys, how do i set SQL so that in 180 days it does not shut down?

2021-02-11T17:51:48.053+00:00 i am aware of the process to change license Key in SQL, the issue is that the 2019 SQL Core License does not use product keys?
SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition - Per CoreProduct Keys - This product does not require a product key.
