I'm trying to upgrade a 2019 SERVER EVAL via the DISM method below so I can use the OEM key I purchased.

PS C:\Users\administrator.CPI> DISM /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:********** /AcceptEULA

But I get an error (see below).

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    Based on the description, I understand your question is related to convert server evaluation version to full version.

    1. Determine the current edition name by running the following command. DISM /online /Get-CurrentEdition
    2. Verify which editions the current installation can be converted to by running the following command. From the output, make a note of the edition name you want to upgrade to. DISM /online /Get-TargetEditions
    3. Enter the new edition name and corresponding retail product key in the following command. The upgrade process requires you to accept the Microsoft Software License Terms for Windows Server that you saved previously. DISM /online /Set-Edition:<target edition> /ProductKey:<product key> /AcceptEula

    Have a nice day. 

    Best Regards,
