    Dave,
    So this command:
    Dism /online /Set-Edition:ServerDataCenter /ProductKey:WMDGN-G9PQG-XVVXX-R3X43-63DFG /AcceptEula
    is the same thing as downloading the Windows Server 2019 iso and running it on the computer.
    I downloaded that iso, ran it, installed the Windows Server 2019 Datacenter (Desktop Experience) and kept files and apps.
    The server went through the upgrade process.
    I then used the slmgr /ipk and slmgr /ato command and everything was fine.
    Thank you again for assisting me in finding the resolution.
