Hello,

While installation of Windows Server 2019 Essentials trial, it asks for Activation Key. Where do I get this key from without having to purchase the software?

    The evaluation download here has the product key embedded. An internet connection is required for long enough to complete activation, then evaluation is good for 180 days.

    How are you installing? The download may be corrupt. ISP's employ caching devices to control bandwidth so try again via a different ISP to avoid the same cached copy.

    Hi,

    There is a product key in the download link. Have you tested to see if the key could be used or not?
