Check Product Key

The error related to PidGenX and product key suggests an issue with the validation of your product key.

  • Double-check that the product key being used for the upgrade is valid and corresponds to a Server 2019 edition.
  • To re-enter the product key during the upgrade, you can:
    • Open a Command Prompt as Administrator.
    • Use the following command to re-enter the product key
