Activating Your Windows Server 2019: A Step-by-Step Guide

Go to the account section on our site. Hover over Profile without clicking, and a dropdown menu will appear. Choose Product Keys.

Your product key for Windows Server 2019 will be listed there.

If activating a previously installed Windows Server, ensure it is not in the evaluation period and follow these steps:

Note: We recommend installing all software updates before starting activation.
  1. After installing all available updates, select the Start button and go to Settings.
  2. Then, click on Update & Security.
  3. Select Activation.
  4. Click Change product key.
  5. Enter your product key and press Next.
Note: If you see the message The product key you entered did not work. Check the product key and try again, or try a different one, your system might be an evaluation version or the OS may be installed on a different activation channel than the licence. Contact our agents for help identifying and resolving the issue. For personalized assistance, click here.

If your system is installed as an evaluation edition, follow these steps:

Note: Ensure all updates are installed to avoid errors during activation.
  1. Type CMD in the taskbar search box. When Command Prompt appears, right-click and choose Run as administrator.
  2. Type the following command: dism /online /set-edition:serverstandard /productkey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /accepteula. Replace the Xs with your product key and press Enter.
  3. After completing the activation process, restart the server.
  4. After restarting, Windows Server 2019 will be activated. Check the bottom right corner to ensure the Windows Server Standard Evaluation mark is gone.
