Hello,
with Server 2019 I usually set up machines before I got the product key from the reseller, for this I downloaded the ISO from the evaluation center and then activated it via dism online.
Since I did not find an ISO for Server 2022 Essentials and I read that it's no different from the Standard version I thought it is maybe the same. Obviously I didn't do my research well.
So here I am, having a perfectly fine and finished set up Server 2022 Standard Eval and can't activate it with the Server 2022 Essentials key I got. Since Google Bing is telling me I am the only one that made this mistake, I wanted to ask if there is any way to convert the Server 2022 Standard Eval to a Server 2022 Essentials? Or do I need to reinstall it from scratch?
dism doesn't work, same for the usual Windows activation:
Thank you for your help!
