server 2019
Hi rhossne,
ou can get the product key for the Server 2019 ISO trial from the Microsoft Evaluation Center. Here are the steps:
- Go to the Microsoft Evaluation Center: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter
- Under Windows Server 2019, select the edition that you want to download.
- Click Get started for free.
- Select your desired evaluation type and click Continue.
- On the Download page, click Generate product key.
- Copy the product key and click Continue.
- Download the ISO file.
Here is a link to the Microsoft Evaluation Center:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter
Once you have downloaded the ISO file and the product key, you can install Windows Server 2019 on your server. During the installation process, you will be prompted to enter the product key.
The Server 2019 trial is valid for 180 days. You can extend the trial period by up to 5 times by using the following command:
slmgr.vbs -rearm
To run this command, open a Command Prompt window with administrator privileges and enter the command. Then, press Enter.
Once the trial period has expired, you will need to purchase a full license for Windows Server 2019 in order to continue using it.

Thank you for your help my friend.
But I didn't find the option Generate Product Key on the page.
Could you please send me a print screen?
I will really appreciate it.
Hi rhossne,
I have just checked the Microsoft Evaluation Center and it seems that the option to generate a product key for the Server 2019 ISO trial is no longer available.
However, you can still download and install the Server 2019 ISO trial without a product key. The trial will be activated automatically when you connect the server to the internet.
To download the Server 2019 ISO trial, please follow these steps:
- Go to the Microsoft Evaluation Center: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter
- Under Windows Server 2019, select the edition that you want to download.
- Click Get started for free.
- Select your desired evaluation type and click Continue.
- On the Download page, click the link to download the ISO file.
Once you have downloaded the ISO file, you can install Windows Server 2019 on your server. During the installation process, you will be prompted to enter a product key. Simply skip this step and the trial will be activated automatically when you connect the server to the internet.

(LinkedIn)I have been trying to get my server re-installed for over a week. It does not ask me for the product key at anytime during the install. I have an HPE GL380 Gen 10 and I am using an ilo and the cd/dvd for the install. It stops the install when it can't find the product key within the iso with the error message: windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. I am using Intelligent Install. thanks!
