Convert WIndows Server 2016 Evaluation to Standard
dism /online /set-edition:ServerStandard /productkey:WC2BQ-8NRM3-FDDYY-2BFGV-KHKQY /accepteula
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The product key that is used here is the KMS key for Windows Server 2016 Standard Edition.
Reboot the server (it will reboot twice!).
Checking winver.exe:
03-windows-server-2016-eval-to-licensed
In an elevated prompt type the following:
slmgr /ipk WC2BQ-8NRM3-FDDYY-2BFGV-KHKQY
----------------------------------------
Again, this is the KMS key for Windows Server 2016 Standard Edition.
After that, activate Windows by typing the following in an elevated prompt:
slmgr /ato
