    I'd check that it is patched fully and also not a domain controller. After promotion conversion from evaluation to full is not supported.

    You should be using volume media that can be downloaded from the volume center site.

    As a work around , mght also try using a kms key as intermediary step.
    Dism /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /ProductKey:WC2BQ-8NRM3-FDDYY-2BFGV-KHKQY /AcceptEula
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/kmsclientkeys#windows-server-ltscltsb-versions

    then if successful use your own product key below after reboot
    slmgr /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx
    slmgr /ato
