Problem downloading windows server 2019 standard: invalid key
I’m trying to upgrade a windows server 2016 to windows server 2019. To do this I tried to download the iso from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsserver?4cd9df4f-dee...
That doesn't answer. Is this a vloume center download? Where did you purchase the product key?
I really don’t understand what you mean… This is the site that comes up when you search for the windows server 2019 download. According to the side you can enter your license key and download the installation media. The keys have been purchased by a distributor who resold them.
Keys have been used successfully to convert evaluation Versions into standard versions. Therefor the keys seem to be valid.

I'd ask the reseller to provide the installation media. Reseller's are bound under contract with microsoft to support the products they sell. The other option is to do a clean install using the evaluation here.
Windows Server 2019 | Microsoft Evaluation Center
- I’m aware of the clean install option I was just hoping to avoid that.
And since I found that page where it looks like Microsoft makes the media available for download I was hoping someone could provide further information on that option.A wild guess is your product key channel does not align with the site channel.
