Windows server evaluation to standard offline
Hello everyone,
Can I change Windows Server licenses offline (without internet)? From Evaluation to Standard.
If yes, how? Any documentation? Thanks in advance!
Hi KomisarzRyba,
yes, you can change Windows Server licenses offline from Evaluation to Standard.
Here are the steps you can use:1. Launch a PowerShell as an Administrator.
2. Typedism /online /get-currenteditionand press ENTER.
3. Typedism /online /get-targeteditionsand press ENTER.
4. Typedism /online /set-edition:serverstandard /productkey:<KEY-KEY-KEY-KEY-KEY> /accepteulaand press ENTER.
Replace `<KEY-KEY-KEY-KEY-KEY>` with your actual product key.After running the command, you will be given the output. This process can take several minutes. Once the process is complete, you will be prompted to reboot your server.
Please note that if the server is an Active Directory domain controller, you can't convert it to a retail version.

(LinkedIn)- Hello,
Many thanks for your reply. I am familiar with these materials, but the customer claims it doesn't work in his isolated environment. I thought there was another way, that's why I asked here. Any way, we'll check again. Thank You!
