    Assuming a retail product key

    I already have 180 days evaluation iso...what is the procedure to activate it using the product key?

    Dism /online /Set-Edition:ServerStandard /AcceptEula /ProductKey:12345-67890-12345-67890-12345
    (or ServerDataCenter)

    If I activated server 2019 product key for server 2016 during downgrade process then can I upgrade it back to sever 2019 if needed?

    Some downgrade info here.

    the reseller should be able to help you obtain a downgrade product key. This process likely deactivates the 2019 product key but reseller's trained specialist will be your best resource here.
