Hi Brent,
Thank You so much for your response.
I went trough the link you provided and now i see where the actual problem is. The Windows server we are working on is also a Domain Controller. and as described in the guide, we can not convert the evaluation copy to retail copy if AD DC role installed in it.

Thank You again, this was really helpfull.
