Hello, "Non-Core Edition" refers to a version of Windows Server that does not include the full graphical user interface (GUI) and certain features that are not essential for running server workloads. This edition is designed for deployment in environments where a smaller footprint is required, such as in virtual machines or in headless server configurations. Regarding the activation issue, have you tried activating your Windows Server 2019 Standard installation using the command prompt? You can do this by opening an elevated command prompt and entering the following command: slmgr.vbs /ipk <product key> Replace <product key> with your actual product key. Once you've entered the command, press Enter and wait for the confirmation message. If that doesn't work, you can try activating your Windows Server 2019 Standard installation using the phone activation method.

1. Press Windows logo key + R, type slui 4 in the Open box, and select OK. Select your location (or the location nearest to you) from the drop-down list, and then select Next. Call one of the available phone numbers listed. An automated system will guide you through the activation process. If you're not able to complete activation successfully, you will be connected to Microsoft support for your region and country.

Hope it helps. Best Regards, Hania Lian
