I doubt there is another option but you can start a case here with product support.

Answer 2

Sounds like you may need to clean install it. This time I'd suggest patching it fully, then license it before adding roles or configuration.

Answer 3

unfortunately don't have spare hardware build anything at present and currently in lockdown so cant get much ether

is there anyway to add the serverstandardcor into the available target list

on the other fallover cluster server we are having the same issue with trying to upgrade the license from serverstandardevelcor to serverstandadcor
the trouble with this server is it has some how lost its evaluation license so is currently shutting down after an hour (i assume this is because it doesn't have a valid license installed) is there any way to install another evaluation license to get this machine up and running until the we can get the other issue resolved

Answer 4

Just checking if there's any progress or updates?

Answer 5

Might stand up a new one, patch fully then try again before adding any roles, etc.
