Windows Server 2019 Standard with ESD Key upgradable?

Hello, I have been searching here for my problem but have not found any helpful answers. First, I want to upgrade my Windows Server 2019 Standard Edition to Windows Server 2022 Standard Edition and I started the setup, but in the setup I am not asked for my key and I can only select Evaluation Editions. Is this normal for servers with an ESD key installed? Do I need to purchase an OEM key to upgrade without losing my data and still having Windows activated?

Sorry if the Categories are not the right :/
